Tutorial 11 – Cucumber Reports – Part 1
What you will Learn :
Generate json report
Generate xml report
Publish report on cucumber cloud using publish = true
Generate json report
Open the Test Runner file (here ‘TagTest.java). To generate a json report, we will mention the path of json file in the ‘plugin’ option, see below. We start with mentioning the name of the tag ‘json’. We then mention ‘target’ which means the ‘target’ folder where we want to generate the report. Inside the ‘target’ folder, we can mention any desired sub-folder name, here ‘MyCucReports’. Finally we mention the name of the report with .json extension, here Report.json
Save the file
Let us run our Test Runner file, see below
Notice the console output, see below. There is no error
Now right click your project folder and click ‘Refresh’
After you refresh, just expand the ‘target’ folder that you see on the left hand side, see below. Inside the ‘target’ folder, expand the ‘MyCucReports’ sub-folder. You would see Report.json under this sub-folder
Double click Report.json, you would see the report in json format. You would see the ‘status’ of each scenario, whether it got passed/failed etc
Generate xml report
To generate the junit xml report, add the line show below
Save the file
Let us run our Test Runner file, see below
Now right click your project folder and click ‘Refresh’
After you refresh, just expand the ‘target’ folder. Inside the ‘target’ folder, expand the ‘MyCucReports’ sub-folder. You would see Report.xml under this sub-folder
Double click Report.xml. You would see the junit xml reports in the junit section, see below. You can see the respective scenarios with a green tick 
which means that they got passed
So these are 2 basic cucumber reports.
Publish report on cucumber cloud using publish = true
From cucumber ver 6.9 onwards, the cucumber team has started to publish report on their cloud. If you look at the console output, you would see a Junit cucumber options setting, see below: publish = true
Let us use this setting. Simply write ‘publish = true’ as seen below
Save the file
Let us re-run the test runner file
See the console o/p now. We are no longer getting the earlier message to set the property. Just copy the below link to view cucumber report
Paste it in a browser to see the report. You can see that 3 scenarios got executed with 100% pass coverage
You can also click at the feature file link that is shown in the report to view your feature file, see below
As mentioned, the report will get automatically deleted after 24 hours
You can also delete the report manually by clicking ‘Delete Report’, see below
Once you delete the report manually, you would see some sample reports published by someone else
Also if you scroll down the page, you would see some FAQs, see below
