Trying to add a new Tab in Allure report - allure

Question

I'm trying to create a plugin for Allure, that will add a new tab called Browsers, that will display TC statuses across all browsers, but I'm stuck at the first step of it - adding Browsers Tab to the report itself. I was using allure-report-plugin-api and instructions from this question - Allure: How do I customize the test report to write "Browsers" instead of "Xunit"? and examples from the git repo of the allure-report-plugin-api.
But I have no luck, the tab isn't added, despite the code being so simple. Could you, please, point me where I did mistakes and show me what is the correct way to do it? Big thanks in advance!
Here's an example how I'm trying to add the new tab
Here's the project structure
src
--->main
--->--->java
--->--->--->allure
--->--->--->--->(Class) BrowserInfo
--->--->resourses
--->--->--->(directory)allure
--->--->--->--->(directory)BrowserInfo
--->--->--->--->--->en.json
--->--->--->--->--->script.js
--->test
--->--->allure
--->--->--->(Class) GoogleSearchTest
--->--->testcases
--->--->--->SearchTest.xml
pom.xml
Here's BrowserInfo class
package allure;
import ru.yandex.qatools.allure.Allure;
import ru.yandex.qatools.allure.data.AllureAttachment;
import ru.yandex.qatools.allure.data.AllureStep;
import ru.yandex.qatools.allure.data.AllureTestCase;
import ru.yandex.qatools.allure.data.plugins.DefaultTabPlugin;
import ru.yandex.qatools.allure.data.plugins.Plugin;
import ru.yandex.qatools.allure.model.Label;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
#Plugin.Name("browserList")
public class BrowserInfo extends DefaultTabPlugin {
#Override
public void process(AllureTestCase data) {
}
}
Here's en.json
{
"browserList": {
"TITLE": "Browsers",
"TITLE_FULL": "List of browsers"
}
}
Here's script.js
/*global angular*/
(function() {
"use strict";
var module = angular.module('allure.browserList', []);
module.config(function($stateProvider, allureTabsProvider) {
allureTabsProvider.addTab('browserList', {title: 'browserList.TITLE'});
});
})();
Here's just a little test
package allure;
import junit.framework.Assert;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
public class GoogleSearchTest {
#Test
public void searchBananasTest() {
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com/");
driver.findElement(By.id("lst-ib")).sendKeys("BANANAS");
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("[type = 'submit']")).click();
Assert.assertTrue(driver.findElement(
By.cssSelector("[data-async-context='query:BANANAS'] h3")
).getText().toLowerCase().contains("banana"));
driver.quit();
}
}
Here's TestNG test xml for the test
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd" >
<suite name="searching bananas">
<test name="searching bananas" preserve-order="true">
<classes>
<class name="allure.GoogleSearchTest">

</class>
</classes>
</test>

Answer 1

The main problem is that Allure loads plugins via Java SPI. So you need to create file
ru.yandex.qatools.allure.data.plugins.Plugin in META-INF/services/ in your resources folder with the following content:
allure.BrowserInfo
Then you need to configure allure-maven-plugin to use your plugin:
<reporting>
<excludeDefaults>true</excludeDefaults>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>ru.yandex.qatools.allure</groupId>
<artifactId>allure-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<configuration>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
<artifactId>${project.artifactId}</artifactId>
<version>${project.version}</version>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</reporting>
Note: the plugin should be installed to local repository.
I recommend to use the separate project for your plugin and generate the preview report using maven-invoker-plugin. In this case you no need to run tests (you can just place test results to folder you need) and no need to install/deploy plugin.
And few more comments for you:
BrowserInfo
By default Allure expects that each plugin provides some data in file ${pluginName}.json. So you need to add some dummy data. An example you can simple add field like this:
#Plugin.Data
private List<String> strings = new ArrayList<>();
The other way configure this behavior in script.js (empty resolve section):
allureTabsProvider.addTab('browserList', {title: 'browserList.TITLE', resolve: {}});
Translation
To add translation to the report use the following command:
allureTabsProvider.addTranslation('cats');
Take a look: Allure JavaScript API
Plugin template
Allure looks for tab.tpl.html for each tab plugin. So you need to add it to your plugin resources.
I hope it helps.

Add dependencies ALlure Report Builder then add below code
// It 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"));
