k3testdocumentation-generator

Tool for generating test documentation out of a test hierarchy or test.son

##Installation (use within viruatlenv or equivalent)

pip install k3testdocumentation-generator

###Prerequisites/Limitations: wkhtmltopdf needs to be installed when generating PDFs (required by the pdfkit library). It is available in the package managers of the common linux distributions.
May require running a virtual X server on a headless environment.

##Usage:

                                     input

CLI tool for creating a test document from a test directory or JSON

Author: Joachim Kestner <[e-mail]>
Version: 0.1.3

positional arguments:
  input                 Input to generate documentation from. Can either be a
                        directory containing the specified structure or an
                        appropriate JSON

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -te {jinja2}, --template_engine {jinja2}
                        The templating engine. Currently only jinja2 is
                        supported.
  -to {html,latex}, --template_output {html,latex}
                        The content language within the template. Only html is
                        supported.
  -ot {pdf,json,raw}, --output_type {pdf,json,raw}
                        The output format. JSON would output the data before
                        it goes into the templating engine. Raw is the raw
                        result after the templating engine has run. Default is
                        'pdf'
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        Output file path. If not set a name will be generated
                        by: basename(input) + '.' + output_type.lower()
  --template TEMPLATE   The path to an alternative template
  -v, --verbose         Enable info logging
  -vv, --extra_verbose  Enable debug logging

##Example:

Create a the test directory structure (example included in src).
This structure works with the inbuilt template. To support a different
structure create a custom template and pass it using the --template parameter.

Note: any json file will be opened and interpreted. In the default structure
all json files need contain a list of strings
