TestNG is not sending the latest emailable-report.html - selenium

Question

#Aftertest
#AfterSuite
#AfterClass Nothing is helpful in my case when we talk about sending the latest reports in the email.
#AfterSuite
public void statusupdate() throws Exception
{
SendMail.execute();
}
This is what I am doing and every time I am getting an older version of my emailable-report.html as I am struggling with JAVA as well so hopefully someone can help me understanding what is wrong here. My assumption is I am sending the email before the fresh report is generated but have no clue what to do next. Thanks for the patience and your replies.

Answer 1

Best you can do is to help yourself with Listeners for reports, instead of an #afterXxxx method.
So you can do something like:
import org.testng.annotations.Listeners;
#Listeners(TestListener.class)
public class MyTestClass {
#Test
public void myTest {
doTest();
}
}
Where your Listener has your SendMail action in the onFinish method:
import org.testng.ITestContext;
import org.testng.ITestListener;
import org.testng.ITestResult;
public class TestListener implements ITestListener {
#Override
public void onTestStart(ITestResult result) {
}
#Override
public void onTestSuccess(ITestResult result) {
}
#Override
public void onTestFailure(ITestResult result) {
}
#Override
public void onTestSkipped(ITestResult result) {
}
#Override
public void onTestFailedButWithinSuccessPercentage(ITestResult result) {
}
#Override
public void onStart(ITestContext context) {
}
#Override
public void onFinish(ITestContext context) {
SendMail.execute();
}
}
I hope this does what you need, if not let me know.

Finally I am able to get the latest .html report by implementing extent reports and TestNG listeners in my framework. I am using 7.0 TestNG and its limitation is that it does not update the emailable-report.html so to overcome this problem you will have to implement extent reports where you will always get the latest .html fancy report which you can send through email in onFinish method of your listener class. But before jumping in you have to understand listeners and extent reports rest is given below. Also thanks #rodrigo for giving me a direction :)
public class TestClass{
WebDriver driver=null;
public ExtentHtmlReporter htmlReporter;
public ExtentReports extent;
public ExtentTest test;
public static String getScreenshot(WebDriver driver, String screenshotName) throws IOException {
String dateName = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddhhmmss").format(new Date(0));
TakesScreenshot ts = (TakesScreenshot) driver;
File source = ts.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
// after execution, you could see a folder "FailedTestsScreenshots" under src folder
String destination = System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/Screenshots/" + screenshotName + dateName + ".png";
File finalDestination = new File(destination);
FileUtils.copyFile(source, finalDestination);
return destination;
}
#BeforeTest()
#Parameters("browser")
public void setup(String browsername) {
if(browsername.equalsIgnoreCase("chrome"))
{
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
driver=new ChromeDriver();
}
else if(browsername.equalsIgnoreCase("firefox"))
{
WebDriverManager.firefoxdriver().setup();
driver=new FirefoxDriver();
}
htmlReporter = new ExtentHtmlReporter(System.getProperty("user.dir")+"\\test-output\\myReport.html");
htmlReporter.config().setDocumentTitle("Automation Report"); // Tile of report
htmlReporter.config().setReportName("Functional Testing"); // Name of the report
htmlReporter.config().setTheme(Theme.DARK);
extent = new ExtentReports();
extent.attachReporter(htmlReporter);
// Passing General information
extent.setSystemInfo("Host name", "NerdBox");
extent.setSystemInfo("Environemnt", "QA");
extent.setSystemInfo("user", "AB");
}
#Test(priority=1,enabled=true)
public void SubmitQuestions() throws Exception {
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.get("https://com/questions");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div/div/div[3]/div/div/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div")).click();
}
#AfterMethod(alwaysRun=true)
public void end(ITestResult result) throws IOException
{
test= extent.createTest("The Test is "+result.getName());
if (result.getStatus() == ITestResult.FAILURE) {
test.log(Status.FAIL, "TEST CASE FAILED IS " + result.getName()); // to add name in extent report
test.log(Status.FAIL, "TEST CASE FAILED IS " + result.getThrowable()); // to add error/exception in extent report
String screenshotPath = NerdboxJobSubmit.getScreenshot(driver, result.getName());
test.addScreenCaptureFromPath(screenshotPath);// adding screen shot
} else if (result.getStatus() == ITestResult.SKIP) {
test.log(Status.SKIP, "Test Case SKIPPED IS " + result.getName());
}
else if (result.getStatus() == ITestResult.SUCCESS) {
test.log(Status.PASS, "Test Case PASSED IS " + result.getName());
}
}
#AfterTest(alwaysRun=true)
public void flush() throws Exception
{
System.out.println("After test");
extent.flush();
driver.quit();
}
