Still make sense in our use case having at least two generators, one to 
generate the HTML reports in CI (pipeline status) and one to upload the 
execution result to Rally for management purposes (current status of the 
sprint).

Cheers.

    Yes, you're right the view generator
      assumes it being done to an output directory.   But you can simply
      ignore the directory if you're using the performable tree. 

      

      We can refactor the interface method in 4.x, moving the output dir
      to the view resources.

      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?  

            

            Cheers

            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

                          reports to the Database after the report
                          generation.
