How to generate an allure report dynamically - allure

Question

Am new to allure report. I am using testng and Java8. Everytime i run the tests, I need to do "allure serve allure-results". Is there a way by which the results get automatically updated instead of starting the command everytime?

Answer 1

Step 1: Add dependencies of AllureReportBuilder from Maven repository
Step 2: Add below code for generate allure Report.
This will generate the Allure Report folder.
new AllureReportBuilder("1.5.4", new File("target/allure-report")).unpackFace();
new AllureReportBuilder("1.5.4", new File("target/allure-report")).processResults(new File("target/allure-results"));
Note- Above code belongs to allure1

Answer 2

I faced the same issue in python. So, what I came up with is to run the terminal command through python script in pytest's conftest.py.
import subprocess
def pytest_sessionfinish(session, exitstatus):
"""
Run command to set allure path and generate allure report after the test run is over
"""
# Running pytest can result in six different exit codes:
# Exit code 0: All tests were collected and passed successfully
# Exit code 1: Tests were collected and run but some of the tests failed
# Exit code 2: Test execution was interrupted by the user
# Exit code 3: Internal error happened while executing tests
# Exit code 4: pytest command line usage error
# Exit code 5: No tests were collected
print '\nrun status code:', exitstatus
if (exitstatus != 2 or exitstatus != 3 or exitstatus!= 4 or exitstatus != 5):
command_to_export_allure_path= ['export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin/allure-commandline/allure-2.7.0/bin/']
command_generate_allure_report= ['allure generate --clean -o %s/Allure/ %s'%(allure_report_dir, allure_report_dir)]
print command_to_export_allure_path
print command_generate_allure_report
subprocess.call(command_to_export_allure_path, shell=True)
subprocess.call(command_generate_allure_report, shell=True)
I am sure there should be someway to run terminal command through java code as well
