I misunderstand the purpose of the ViewGenerator interface. The main purpose of
the interface is file-based reports and was I thinking of a more generic
generator for reporting purposes (file-based, database, etc).
I'll let you know the updates on this issue.

You can access the PerformableRoot of
the tree via Embedder.storyManager().performableRoot().
It will be generated during the generateReportsView() method using
the view generator configured via:
Configuration.useViewGenerator(ViewGenerator).
So there only one view generator for given run. Why would you
want two at the same time?

Hi again,
We already have jbehave-rally module but we need something like
PerformableTree to access Story information and the ability to
perform individual stories concurrently is definitely plus.
Should I use this module in my overridden run() after the
execution of generateReportsView()?
I think it would nice add more than one view generator to the
Configuration, in order to perform different kind of reporting
strategies.
Kind Regards.

Hi,
if your need is to interface with Rally, I'd opt to have a
jbehave-rally module that deals with all the specifics of
rally, in particular the db schema. Then we can also add
other elements of this interaction as needed, e.g. a Rally
specifc configuration extension that makes it easy for users
to setup and use.
The execution results need to be read from files in 3.x but
in 4.x there is a new execution context (called
PerformableTree) that you can use directly. 4.x is
currently in beta.
Up to you where you want to start from ...
You can start cloning jbehave-core repo from github and
start developping this new module. We'll be happy to help
you along.
Cheers

Hi Mauro and JBehave devs,
first of all thank you for your prompt reply.
Your suggestion is really great for our purpose because,
as you write in the previous e-mail, we want to submit
stories execution status to the Rally (rallydev.com)
database and also create the HTML reports in the
continuous integration filesystem.
The test case information result that is currently being
inserted is:
Test Case ID: identifier (string)
Method signature: ClassName.methodName (string)
Status: status (String)
Exception Msg: optional (String)
Defect ID: optional (String)
Build No: 0.1-SNAPSHOT-number (String)
It is possible to insert the Test result which is a set of
steps.
How can I add a new ViewGenerator implementation?
Do I need to read the scenarios results from file before
database update or do I have access to the execution
context with all story (scenarios) execution status? The
second option is better.
I hope you can support us with this issue.
Cheers.

Hi,
To plugin a different kind of report generation, your
main interface is ViewGenerator, of which you can
write a database-centric implementation.
You can start from the template-based implementation.
https://github.com/jbehave/jbehave-core/blob/master/jbehave-core/src/main/java/org/jbehave/core/reporters/TemplateableViewGenerator.java
Now this assumes that you just want to store the final
view reports in a db, but you're still happy to have
the single raw story reports being written to
filesystem.
Feel free to share your usecase. Maybe it's
sufficiently generic that we may add support for it.
Cheers

Hi all,
I would like to know how to plug-in into JBehave an
module that submit story/stories reports to the
Database after the report generation.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.
