Standard approach is to have an impl that delegates to multiple other generators.

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).

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'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

                I would like to know how to plug-in into JBehave an

                Database after the report generation.


                Any suggestion?

                Thanks in advance.
