The previous tutorial explained generation of Allure Report with Cucumber5, Selenium and TestNG in a Maven project. In this tutorial, I will explain the steps to create an Allure Report with Cucumber, Selenium and TestNG in a Gradle project.

Pre Requisite:

1. Java 8 or above installed
2. Eclipse or IntelliJ IDE installed
3. Gradle Installed
4. Environment variables JAVA_HOME and GRADLE_HOME correctly configured

In this tutorial, I’ll create a BDD Framework for the testing of web applications using Cucumber, Selenium WebDriver with TestNG. This framework consists of:-

Project Structure

Implementation Steps

There is a tutorial that explains the Integration of Cucumber, Selenium and TestNG in a Gradle project. Please refer to this tutorial – Gradle Project with Cucumber, Selenium and TestNG.

Step 1 – Add Cucumber, Selenium, TestNG, and Allure-TestNG dependencies in build.gradle

/*
 * This file was generated by the Gradle 'init' task.
 *
 */

plugins {
    // Apply the application plugin to add support for building a CLI application in Java.
    id 'application'
    id 'io.qameta.allure' version '2.11.0'
}

repositories {
    // Use Maven Central for resolving dependencies.
    mavenCentral()
}

java {
    sourceCompatibility = 11
    targetCompatibility = 11
}

dependencies {
   
    // Use TestNG framework, also requires calling test.useTestNG() below
    testImplementation 'io.cucumber:cucumber-java:7.6.0'
    testImplementation 'io.cucumber:cucumber-testng:7.6.0'
          
     // Allure 
     implementation 'io.qameta.allure:allure-cucumber7-jvm:2.19.0'
     runtimeOnly 'org.aspectj:aspectjweaver:1.9.7'
     
     //TestNG  
      testImplementation 'org.testng:testng:7.6.0'
      
     //Others  
     implementation 'com.google.guava:guava:31.0.1-jre'
     implementation 'org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-java:4.4.0'
     implementation 'io.github.bonigarcia:webdrivermanager:5.3.0'

}

application {
    // Define the main class for the application.
    mainClass = 'com.example.App'
}

tasks.named('test') {
    // Use TestNG for unit tests.
    useTestNG()
}

configurations {
    cucumberRuntime {
        extendsFrom testImplementation
    }
}

task cucumber() {
    dependsOn assemble, compileTestJava
    doLast {
        javaexec {
         systemProperty("allure.results.directory", "build/allure-results")
         
            main = "io.cucumber.core.cli.Main"
            classpath = configurations.cucumberRuntime + sourceSets.main.output + sourceSets.test.output
            args = ['--plugin', 'pretty',
            '--glue', 'com.example.definitions', 'src/test/resources']
        }
    }
}

Step 2 – Create Locator and Action classes and Step Definition corresponding to the feature file and Test Runner Class

As mentioned above, there is another tutorial that explains the project structure as well as the feature file and corresponding Step Definitions, please refer to this tutorial – Gradle Project with Cucumber, Selenium and TestNG.

Step 3 – Execute the Tests

Go to the app project and run the tests, using the below command

gradle cucumber

The output of the test execution is

Step 4 – Generate the Allure Report

Once the test execution is finished, a folder named allure-results will be generated in the build folder.

Note:- Make sure that you move to folder app, because build folder is present in app folder.

To generate Allure Report, use the below command

allure serve build/allure-results

This will generate the beautiful Allure Test Report as shown below.

Allure Report Dashboard

The overview page hosts several default widgets representing basic characteristics of your project and test environment.

Categories in Allure Report

The categories tab gives you the way to create custom defects classification to apply for test results. There are two categories of defects – Product Defects (failed tests) and Test Defects (broken tests).

Suites in Allure Report

On the Suites tab a standard structural representation of executed tests, grouped by suites and classes can be found.

Graphs in Allure Report

Graphs allow you to see different statistics collected from the test data: status breakdown or severity and duration diagrams.

Timeline in Allure Report

The timeline tab visualizes retrospective test execution, allure adaptors collect precise timings of tests, and here on this tab, they are arranged accordingly to their sequential or parallel timing structure.

Behaviors of Allure Report

This tab groups test results according to Epic, Feature, Story, Test Severity, Test Description, Test Steps, and so on.

Packages in Allure Report

The packages tab represents a tree-like layout of test results, grouped by different packages.
