I think it's simpler and more extensible to have a ViewBuilder (similar
to StoryReporterBuilder) and have it generate a delegating impl.
So for now simply concentrate on the rally impl.

Yes, your suggestion is easier but isn't the best as you know and I'm
looking forward to not do that, if possible. Using Mauro's suggestion
JBehave become more flexible to plug-in reports generators for many
types of APIs.
Would be nice something like the following code:
public void generateReportsView() {
Set<StoryReporter> reports = configuration().storyReporterViews();
for(StoryReporter report : reports ){
report.generate(configuration())
}
}
What is the effort the implement this capability?
Cheers,
João M.

João,
Wouldn't be an easier option to create a maven plugin or an Ant Task
that process the XML already generated by JBehave and do your database
upload ?

Cristiano

Still make sense in our use case having at least two generators,
one to generate the HTML reports in CI (pipeline status) and one

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?

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
