Get Started
-----------

You should have python 2.7 or 3.x installed on your machine. Then follow steps here.

Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Install testcube-client via pip is the most easy way.

::

pip install testcube-client -U

Register to Server
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You must have a TestCube_ server deployed at somewhere, then run ``--register`` command.::

testcube-client --register http://testcube-server:8000

Upload Run Results
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once you registered to a server, you will have 2 ways to upload test results,
first choice is calling ``--start-run`` at the beginning and calling ``--finish--run`` when finished.::

# call --start-run before run started
testcube-client --start-run -name "nightly run for testcube" --team Core --product TestCube

# call --finish-run after run finished
testcube-client --finish-run --xunit-files "**/results/*.xml"

In this way, TestCube will record the **exact** ``start_time`` and ``end_time`` for the run.

Another choice is using ``--run`` command to upload test results like a batch.::

# put this command at the end of a run
testcube-client --run -n "smoke tests for testcube" -t XPower -p TestCube -v v1.0 -x "**/smoke*.xml"

With this choice, TestCube will use current time as ``end_time`` for the run, and guess ``start_time``
according to run duration.

Upload Result Files
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sometimes your test will generate result files, for example, screenshots, log files. These files are useful
when analyze test failure, so we can upload them to TestCube as well::

# call --result-files to upload files
testcube-client --result-files "**/*.png"

# use -i as a shortcut
testcube-client -i "**/*.jpg"

Note: your result file should contains test case name so that TestCube can link these to a result,
e.g. if your test case name is "test_student_login", then the result file should like "test_student_login_failed.png".

If you want to rerun a result by id, you can run the case by your script and generate xml files again,
then upload your files again::

# call --rerun-result to refresh a result
testcube-client --rerun-result 12345 -x "**/*.xml" -i "**/*.png"

Command-line Options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The optional arguments::

-h, --help show this help message and exit
-r REGISTER, --register REGISTER
Register to the TestCube server, e.g.
http://server:8000
-run, --run Upload run info at one time, require team,product,name
and xunit files.
-start, --start-run Start a run, require team, product and a name.
-finish, --finish-run
Finish a run, require xunit files.
-x XUNIT_FILES, --xunit-files XUNIT_FILES
Specify the xunit xml results, e.g "**/result*.xml"
-i RESULT_FILES, --result-files RESULT_FILES
Specify the result files, e.g "**/output/**/*.png"
-n NAME, --name NAME Specify the run name.
-t TEAM, --team TEAM Specify the team name.
-p PRODUCT, --product PRODUCT
Specify the product name.
-v PRODUCT_VERSION, --product-version PRODUCT_VERSION
Specify the product version. [Optional]
-f, --force Force the action, support --register command.
