How to generate Allure Report programmatically - after end of test suite

[kamil-nowocin]

How to generate Allure report from Java code?
Right now I'm using allure-comandline and generate report via allure generate build/allure-results --clean
I'd like to automatically generate it after end of test suite. I did some research and found this https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.qameta.allure/allure-generator but unfortunately this doesn't work well or I don't know how to use it properly.
Any tips? Thanks!

Hi Kamil,

you can use maven (hope gradle)

with maven it will be
pom.xml

<project>
.......
<build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>io.qameta.allure</groupId>
                <artifactId>allure-maven</artifactId>
                <version>2.10.0</version>
                <configuration>
                    <reportVersion>2.10.0</reportVersion>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

</project>

and than in terminal in the folder of your project run
mvn allure:serve

I don't want to generate it from terminal. I already know how to do that.
As title of this topic - I want to do it via java code.

[kamil-nowocin]

And tbh I don't really want to execute terminal command via java as Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);

Allure command line simply calls it, see https://github.com/allure-framework/allure2/blob/master/allure-commandline/src/main/java/io/qameta/allure/Commands.java#L103

Note, that you'll need to add some plugins by yourself https://github.com/allure-framework/allure2/tree/master/plugins
plugins are available in maven central (an example of loading plugins https://github.com/allure-framework/allure2/blob/master/allure-commandline/src/main/java/io/qameta/allure/Commands.java#L182-L196 )

And the complete example that we use for development https://github.com/allure-framework/allure2/blob/master/allure-generator/src/main/java/io/qameta/allure/DummyReportGenerator.java

Thanks. Lots of information here. Hopefully I'll be able to do it by myself.

[sabag]

ok, i was able to generate using the example from DummyReportGenerator, thank you

[ezlo-maksymk]

if you will run mvn clean install && mvn allure:serve - it will run your tests and after that will generate report, like what you asked I'd like to automatically generate it after end of test suite. and will save your time to write code of allure generation and supporting it

[kamil-nowocin]

Oh, this is great, but I'm using gradle so this doesn't really help me. Anyway, thank you for your input

[baev]

there is allure gradle plugin available, so you can use it to generate report automatically after tests run

[gauravr3]

@baev what is the gradle plugin which I can generate report automatically after test finish

[PavelMal]

@gauravr3
https://github.com/allure-framework/allure-gradle - you are welcome, but pay attention:
allure-gradle 2.9+ requires Gradle 5.0+
allure-gradle 2.11+ requires Gradle 6.0+

Groovy DSL:

plugins {
    id'io.qameta.allure' version '<latest>'
}

repositories {
    // Repository is needed for downloading allure-commandline for building the report
    mavenCentral()
}
