Class ExtentReports

java.lang.Object

com.aventstack.extentreports.ExtentReports

All Implemented Interfaces:

ReportService

public class ExtentReports
extends Object

The ExtentReports report client for starting reporters and building reports. For most applications, you should have one ExtentReports instance for the entire JVM.

ExtentReports itself does not build any reports, but allows reporters to access information, which in turn build the said reports. An example of building an HTML report and adding information to ExtentX:

 ExtentHtmlReporter html = new ExtentHtmlReporter("Extent.html");
 ExtentXReporter extentx = new ExtentXReporter("localhost");
 
 ExtentReports extent = new ExtentReports();
 extent.attachReporter(html, extentx);
 
 extent.createTest("TestName").pass("Test Passed");
 
 extent.flush();
 

A few notes:

• It is mandatory to call the flush method to ensure information is written to the started reporters.
• You can create standard and BDD-style tests using the createTest method
