New issue 876 by [email protected]: rebot-generated report.html should
link directly to pybot-generated log.html files
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=876
From a thread on the user group emails about RF 2.6 alpha 1:
Me: I would REALLY LIKE and recommend that rebot NOT produce its own new
log.html file. There are a number of problems caused by this, the biggest
two being the size and the fact that embedded images (screenshot on
failure) get the wrong URL path. What I would prefer is that rebot should
generate links from the main report.html file to each of the pre-existing
log.html files in each of the sub-folders generated by the separate test
runs for which it is providing a consolidated report. This would shorten
the time to produce the reports, since there's no need to produce a new
HUGE log.html and would allow the embedded screenshot URLs to work properly.
Peke: I'm not sure do I understand this. Do you mean a situation where you
have executed tests, and generated logs then, and then want to combine
results with rebot? In that case you already now can use `--log NONE` to
suppress log generation but the old logs aren't linked from the combined
report. It might be possible to handle this situation somehow but probably
not before the release. This might actually be a good solution for
situations where logs have been split earlier and is worth thinking a bit
more. Please submit an enhancement request about it!
Martin, did I understand your enhancement idea correctly above? We took RF
2.6a1 into use in one real project and noticed that logs generated when
combining results grow too big there too. Resolving this problem like you
suggest might be a really good idea.
-----------
Yes, I think you understood my enhancement idea, and to make it even
clearer I've attached a file showing the reporting file/folder structure
from one of our test runs with annotations to explain what happens now vs.
what I'd like to happen.
