Html results to display in Silk Central

[vb22]

In my tests I call a batch file that executes some java code and generates an html report. How can I take the results of that html report and output it in my silk central results?

Hi vb22,

If you want the resulting file to have an impact of the test status of your execution you will need to generate an output.xml file from your java code. What you will then do is upload this to the SCTM_EXEC_RESULTSFOLDER.

If you upload an output.xml file to this location during an execution it will then be processed by Silk Central.

Below you will find an example output.xml file, as to what kind of structure your file needs to take:

<ResultElement TestItem="ProcesExecutorScript">

 <ErrorCount>1</ErrorCount>

 <WarningCount>1</WarningCount>

 <Incident>

   <Message>some unexpected result</Message>

   <Severity>Error</Severity>

   <Detail>

     <TestName>Calculator</TestName>

     <Info>java.lang.numberformatexception</Info>

   </Detail>

 </Incident>

</ResultElement>

This file will then be processed by Silk Central and mark this run as failed.

You will still be able to upload your HTML file to the run as an attached file, by passing this to the results folder, but it will not have an impact on your result.

Thanks,

Matthew

Is there any way I can add that html file to my timeline? The one accessed from runs>runID>timeline

Hi vb22,

It is currently not possible to display the contents of your HTML file in the timeline, just a link to the document.

If this is something you would like to see included in Silk Central, what I would suggest is to log a feature enhancement request using our uservoice:

borland.uservoice.com/.../163509-silk-central-feature-requests

This will allow other users to vote on your feature if they would like to see this included within Silk Central as well.

Thanks,

Matthew

Or my log.txt?

What about my log.txt file? Can I append or replace it with the contents of my html file?

[Matthew McGibbon]

Hi vb22,

To add any lines to the log.txt that you want to display, you can use the echo command in your batch file so that this will be output to the log.txt file.

Echo 'Text Here'

This will display 'Text Here' in the log.txt file.

You are not able to add the contents of your HTML output which is generated through the java script but you can use the Echo command, to add any needed comments here.

I have added an image how this would look on your timeline with the link to the HTML document and the Echo output:

Thanks,

Sorry for the confusion in the posts. Thanks for your help!
