Coding with the reporting API

[boby]

Hi,

is there any tutorial on how to use the reporting API (without using the Ranorex Studio, e.g. with VS)?

I have searched quite a lot of this forum as well as the user guide, but could not figure out how to achieve it step by step.

I have the following code, for example:

Code: Select all

       [ClassInitialize]
       public static void StartReporting(TestContext context)
        {
            TestReport.Setup(ReportLevel.Debug, @"C:\temp\report.html", true);
            TestReport.EnableTracingScreenshots = true;
            Ranorex.Validate.EnableReport = true;
            TestReport.ReportWriteInterval = 0;
        }

        [TestMethod]
        public void ReportingTest1()
        {
            Assert.IsFalse(false);
        }

        [TestMethod]
        public void ReportingTest2()
        {
            Assert.IsFalse(true);
            Assert.IsTrue(true);
         }

        [TestCleanup]
        public void TestCleanUp()
        {
            TestReport.EndTestCase();
            TestReport.SaveReport();
        } 

What I would like to have in the report are, at least: Name of the test case (test method in this case), test result(pass/fail), etc.

The report generated has no such information and it's empty. What's wrong with my coding?

Great thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
boby

Hello boby,

Unfortunately we currently do not have a tutorial on how to use the reporting API. Please check out following blog post which covers your requests:

Hi Robert,

thanks for your reply!

Yes, i did have read the post and it shows the basic routine how to get a report with VS.

But I have not found the guide how to log only the Test Method and the result of the execution into the report. This is in fact what i really want.

Thanks!

Kind regards,

Hi boby,

The problem is that you need to tell the Ranorex Report that something happened otherwise it won’t be displayed. E.g.,

[TestMethod]
        public void MyCodedUIMethod()
        {
            Report.Info("MyMessage");
            Validate.IsFalse(true);
            
        }

Results in:

Please let me know if you need any further guidance.

Hi Robert,

thank you again for your answer!

I see what you mean. The problem for our case is that we have thousand testcases, and if we have to add message for each testcase it would be quite time consuming. What I would like to have is that whether is there a way that Ranorex report could log each testcase with its execution result and show a screenshot if any error occurs.

Kind regards,

Hello Boby,

I’m afraid that there is no out-of-the-box solution for your requirements. You will have to implement the necessary steps on your own.

Thank you for your understanding.
