Welcome Selenium users. I hope this tool can help you in presenting your test result. I was helping some users in here before. As I have stated because this is not a full blown open source project I find it difficult to provide support in the comment section. You can always contact me directly. But I wonder if there is an infrastructure under Selenium that can better facilitate technical support for this third party tool. If you can help set this up I'll happy to drop by to provide support and even enhancement.

Thank you. Happy testing!

Hi, Thank you very much. I am wondering is there anyway, if the test fails, get a screenshot of the page and add a link to it in the result?

Thank you

I am having trouble getting it to work here is my code. I must be missing something?

2009-06-23T04:22:18.236-07:00

Hi,
I am running many test cases on single suite:

Example:
suite = unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromTestCase(class_name)
unittest.TextTestRunner().run(suite)

When I do import HTMLTestRunner

I need to modify this code to:
(instead of TextRunner)

runner = HTMLTestRunner.HTMLTestRunner()
runner.run(suite)

Does this work?..or can you please help me out..

I see this comment is becoming a support forum. The number of comments are getting hard to follow. I suggest you just email me directly for support (see my contact).

In the mean time I would try to find a better support option, perhaps turning this into a full fledge open source project. Let me know if you want to see this happens.

2006-09-27T13:46:00.000-07:00

How do I get the docstring of the testcase into the HTML? E.g.:

def test_x(self):
____"""Hello greets"""
____print "hello"

With the TextTestRunner, I use "verbosity=2" to get it in the output, but this does not work in HTMLTestRunner.

Apart from that, I very much like HTMLTestRunner, thanks for it!

2006-07-28T00:41:00.000-07:00

I usually use inheritance for this:

# File MyCase.py
import unittest

class MyCase(unittest.TestCase):
value = 'Hello'

def test1(self):
print self.value

def test2(self):
print 'world'

class MySecondCase(MyCase):
value = 'Good bye'

if __name__ == '__main__':
suite = unittest.TestSuite()
for case in MyCase, MySecondCase:
# using obsolete function still available in 2.4
suite.addTest(unittest.makeSuite(case))
unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2).run(suite)

The absence of scroll bar is a bug. Thanks for bringing this up. A fix is available in version 0.7.1. Unfortunately I don't know of anyway to wrap long line in HTML yet preserving the pre-formatting. Unless you are using Opera, which does have a very nice 'Fit to screen width' format option.

2006-04-16T11:18:00.000-07:00

Thanks again for your prompt reply! It does seem quite complex...

In your HTMLTestRunner, how can I add a vertical scroll-bar to the test result pop-up window of [error, fail, pass]? Text should automatically wrap horizontally. I need to dump the log file of my software to each test and have one single report for all the tests.

I am writing a hiarachical test suite, which I have a set of commmon test files that must be executed by multiple environments. To give you some example,
suite = TestSuite()
for ip in ips:
for com in ['com1', 'com2']:
for case in ['common1', 'common2']:
t = case(ip, com)
suite.addTest(t)

htmlRunner.run(suite, 'TestReport.html')

Best regards,
Podi

2006-04-16T10:29:00.000-07:00

Unfortunately unittest makes it a lot harder that you would expect to do something like that, namely instantiate your own TestCase object and then build a TestSuite with all test methods. If you can jump through a few hoops using unittest.getTestCaseNames() your test can be written as:

-----------------------------------
import unittest

class MyCase(unittest.TestCase):
def __init__(self, methodName, value):
super(MyCase, self).__init__(methodName)
self.value = value
def test1(self):
print self.value
def test2(self):
print 'world'

if __name__ == '__main__':
msg = 'Hello'
testnames = unittest.getTestCaseNames(MyCase,'test')
suite = unittest.TestSuite()
suite.addTests([MyCase(methodName, msg) for methodName in testnames])
unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2).run(suite)
-----------------------------------

In my opinion unittest makes things more complicated than necessary. This maybe part of the reason that spurs competiting framework like py.test.

2006-04-16T01:15:00.000-07:00

Great, thanks very much!

I have another question: How can I pass a value to a test case object and make a test suite. I don't want to manually add each test function because that would be very labor intensive.

# File MyCase.py
import unittest

class MyCase(unittest.TestCase):
def __init__(self, value):
super(MyCase, self).__init__()
self.value = value
def test1(self):
print self.value
def test2(self):
print 'world'

if __name__ == '__main__':
msg = 'Hello'
myCase = MyCase(msg)
suite = unittest.TestSuite()
suite.addTest(myCase)
unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2).run(suite)

D:\MyWorks>MyCase.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

Yes, HTMLTestRunner takes a parameter 'stream'. It is defaulted to sys.stdout but you can pass any file like object. It is similar to unittest.TextTestRunner.

Is there a way to get the result into a file other than using:
