Hi together,
I will try to explain our (Gilbert and me) purpose with the Ranorex Report.
We build up a data driven testautomation where all of our data is stored in a csv-File included confidential data like the username and password.
During a testrun Ranorex logs all the data from databinding in the rxlog.data file which are later displayed in the default Ranorex Report.
So we used a custom report template to suppress the output of our testdata in the report.
It works fine but we still have the problem that the confidential data like the username and password are logged in the rxlog.data file.
Because of privacy purpose we couldn't send the report attached on any mail.
That's why we are searching for solutions to share the report without these confidential data. Here a list of known solutions:
1. To print the custom report as an pdf is one possibility but than we loose for example the option to open or close the teststeps in the report.
2. An other alternative is to write all log information in a separate log-file what ciege explained in an other post (
http://www.ranorex.com/forum/report-as-pdf-t1211.html).
3. Send the compressed custom report (*.rxzlog). This option requires that everybody who wants to view the report needs the Ranorex ReportViewer installed which is explained in the post "How to share Ranorex Reports" (
http://www.ranorex.com/forum/how-to-sha ... tml#p20000). This alternative is not 100 percent save but it is still better than sending the rxlog.data plain in a mail.
We are still searching for any other possibilities to share the report without the confidential data.
May be there is a property in Ranorex which could be set so that the data from data binding isn't logged in the rxlog.data file?
Do we break any Ranorex licence agreements when we distribute the Ranorex ReportView explained in the alternative 3.
Thanks a lot for help.
Best regards,
Jörg
