Usage

Installation

To install agent-python-behave it’s necessary to run pip install behave-reportportal.

You can find example of integration with behave agent here You can just copy this file to your features folder.

Configuration

Prepare the config file behave.ini in root directory of tests or specify any one using behave command line option:

behave -D config_file=<path_to_config_file>

The behave.ini file should have next mandatory fields under [report_portal] section:

• api_key - value could be found in the User Profile section

• project - name of project in ReportPortal

• endpoint - address of ReportPortal Server

Example of behave.ini:

[report_portal]
api_key = fb586627-32be-47dd-93c1-678873458a5f
endpoint = http://192.168.1.10:8080
project = user_personal
launch_name = AnyLaunchName
launch_attributes = Slow Smoke
launch_description = Smoke test

The following parameters are optional:

• client_type = SYNC - Type of the under-the-hood ReportPortal client implementation. Possible values: [SYNC, ASYNC_THREAD, ASYNC_BATCHED].

• launch_name = AnyLaunchName - launch name (default value is ‘Python Behave Launch’)

• launch_id = xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx - id of the existing launch (the session will not handle the lifecycle of the given launch)

• launch_attributes = Smoke Env:Python3 - list of attributes for launch

• launch_description = Smoke test - launch description

• debug_mode = True - creates the launch either as debug or default mode (defaults to False)

• log_layout = Nested - responsible for Scenario, Step or Nested based logging (Scenario based approach is used by default)

• is_skipped_an_issue = False - option to mark skipped tests as not ‘To Investigate’ items on Server side.

• retries = 3 - amount of retries for performing REST calls to RP server

• rerun = True - marks the launch as the rerun

• rerun_of = xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx` - launch id to rerun

• launch_uuid_print = True - Enables printing Launch UUID on test run start. Default False.

• launch_uuid_print_output = stderr - Launch UUID print output. Default stdout. Possible values: [stderr, stdout].

• connect_timeout = 15 - Connection timeout to ReportPortal server. Default value is “10.0”.

• read_timeout = 15 - Response read timeout for ReportPortal connection. Default value is “10.0”.

• log_batch_size = 20 - maximum number of log entries which will be sent by the agent at once

• log_batch_payload_size = 65000000 - maximum payload size of a log batch which will be sent by the agent at once

If you like to override the above parameters from command line, or from CI environment based on your build, then pass - -D parameter=value during invocation.

Launching

To execute tests with ReportPortal you should run behave command and specify path to feature files:

behave ./tests/features

Test item attributes

Tag attribute could be used to specify attributes for features and scenarios. Attributes should be listed inside brackets of attribute tag separated by commas.

Example:

@attribute(key:value, value2)
@attribute(some_other_attribute)
Feature: feature name

    @attribute(key:value, value2, value3)
    Scenario: scenario name

Logging

For logging of the test item flow to ReportPortal, please, use the python logging handler and logger class provided by extension like bellow: in environment.py:

import logging

from reportportal_client import RPLogger, RPLogHandler

from behave_reportportal.behave_agent import BehaveAgent, create_rp_service
from behave_reportportal.config import read_config


def before_all(context):
    cfg = read_config(context)
    context.rp_client = create_rp_service(cfg)
    context.rp_client.start()
    context.rp_agent = BehaveAgent(cfg, rp_client)
    context.rp_agent.start_launch(context)
    logging.setLoggerClass(RPLogger)
    log = logging.getLogger(__name__)
    log.setLevel("DEBUG")
    rph = RPLogHandler(rp_client=context.rp_client)
    log.addHandler(rph)
    context.log = log

Logger provides ability to attach some file in scope of log message (see examples below).

in steps:

@given("I want to calculate {number_a:d} and {number_b:d}")
def calculate_two_numbers(context, number_a, number_b):
    context.number_a = number_a
    context.number_b = number_b
    context.log.info("log message")

    # Message with an attachment.
    import subprocess
    free_memory = subprocess.check_output("free -h".split())
    context.log.info("log message with attachment", attachment={
            "name": "free_memory.txt",
            "data": free_memory,
            "mime": "application/octet-stream",
        })

Test case ID

It’s possible to mark some scenario with test_case_id(<some_id>) tag. ID specified in brackets will be sent to ReportPortal.

Integration with GA

ReportPortal is now supporting integrations with more than 15 test frameworks simultaneously. In order to define the most popular agents and plan the team workload accordingly, we are using Google analytics.

ReportPortal collects information about agent name and its version only. This information is sent to Google analytics on the launch start. Please help us to make our work effective. If you still want to switch Off Google analytics, please change env variable the way below.

export AGENT_NO_ANALYTICS=1
