ReportPortal runtime Hook for Karate tests

Karate reporters which uploads the results to a ReportPortal server.

DISCLAIMER: We use Google Analytics for sending anonymous usage information such as agent's and client's names, and their versions after a successful launch start. This information might help us to improve both ReportPortal backend and client sides. It is used by the ReportPortal team only and is not supposed for sharing with 3rd parties.

The latest version: 5.1.2. Please use Maven Central link above to get the agent.

Overview: How to Add ReportPortal Logging to Your Project

To start using ReportPortal with Karate framework please do the following steps:

1. Configuration
   • Create/update the reportportal.properties configuration file
   • Build system configuration
   • Add Listener
     • Runtime
     • Post-running
2. Logging configuration
   • Loggers and their types
3. Running tests
   • Build system commands

Configuration

'reportportal.properties' configuration file

As the first step you need to create a file named reportportal.properties in your Java project in a source folder src/main/resources or src/test/resources (depending on where your tests are located):

reportportal.properties

rp.endpoint = http://localhost:8080
rp.api.key = test_YIvQraKKSquDZqrA6JLCWCX5qwmMZBk_7tTm_fkN44AHCi18Ze0RtYqxWNYKxk5p
rp.launch = Karate Tests
rp.project = default_personal

Property description

• rp.endpoint - the URL for the ReportPortal server (actual link).
• rp.api.key - an access token for ReportPortal which is used for user identification. It can be found on your report portal user profile page.
• rp.project - a project ID on which the agent will report test launches. Must be set to one of your assigned projects.
• rp.launch - a user-selected identifier of test launches.

The full list of supported properties is located here in client-java library documentation (a common library for all Java agents): https://github.com/reportportal/client-java

Build system configuration

Maven

If your project is Maven-based you need to add dependencies to pom.xml file:

<project>
    <!-- project declaration omitted -->

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.epam.reportportal</groupId>
        <artifactId>agent-java-karate</artifactId>
        <version>5.1.2</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

    <!-- build config omitted -->
</project>

You are free to use you own version of Karate, but not earlier than 1.0.0. If you leave just Agent dependency it will be still OK, it will use transitive Karate version.

Gradle

For Gradle-based projects please update dependencies section in build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    testImplementation 'com.epam.reportportal:agent-java-karate:5.1.2'
}

Listener configuration

Runtime

Runtime publisher uploads Karate tests on ReportPortal during the test execution, providing real-time monitoring capabilities. To publish test results in this case, the test project should use by ReportPortalHook class, an instance of which you should pass to Karate runner. E.G.:

import com.epam.reportportal.karate.ReportPortalHook;
import com.intuit.karate.Runner;

class ScenarioRunnerTest {
	@Test
	void testParallel() {
		return Runner
                .path("classpath:examples")
                .hook(new ReportPortalHook())
                .outputCucumberJson(true)
                .tags("~@ignore")
                .parallel(1);
	}
}

Post-running

Post-running publisher uploads Karate tests on ReportPortal after the test execution. It uses Karate result object to get data about tests. It might be useful if your tests make heavy load both on ReportPortal server or on the running node. To publish test results in this case, the test project should run by KarateReportPortalRunner instead of Karate runner. E.G.:

import com.epam.reportportal.karate.KarateReportPortalRunner;

class ScenarioRunnerTest {
	@Test
	void testParallel() {
		KarateReportPortalRunner
                .path("classpath:examples")
                .outputCucumberJson(true)
                .tags("~@ignore")
                .parallel(1);
	}
}

Logging

Karate uses slf4j as Logging library, so you are free to choose any Logging Framework.

ReportPortal provides its own logger implementations for major logging frameworks like Log4j and Logback. It also provides additional formatting features for popular client and test libraries like: Selenide, Apache HttpComponents, Rest Assured, etc.

Here is the list of supported loggers and setup documentation links.

Logging frameworks:

Library name	Documentation link
Log4j	https://github.com/reportportal/logger-java-log4j
Logback	https://github.com/reportportal/logger-java-logback

HTTP clients:

Apache HttpComponents	https://github.com/reportportal/logger-java-httpcomponents

Running tests

We are set. To run tests we just need to execute corresponding command in our build system.

Maven

mvn test or mvnw test if you are using Maven wrapper

Gradle

gradle test or gradlew test if you are using Gradle wrapper
