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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
