Improving BDD Tests with HTML exports

So now I have the reports to the console – but it will be better if I read them in a text file . So I have tried to add automatically report export into HTML . You will find below the Whole discussion , but AI did not make it . If you follow the discussion, you can smell the problem – the AI is hallucinating answers  – that LightBDD does not support HTML reports.

The the required changes were to modify from


[assembly: LightBddScope]

to


using LightBDD.Core.Configuration;
using LightBDD.Framework.Configuration;
using LightBDD.Framework.Reporting.Formatters;
using LightBDD.XUnit2;

[assembly: ConfiguredLightBddScope]
internal class ConfiguredLightBddScopeAttribute : LightBddScopeAttribute
{
    /// <summary>
    /// This method allows to customize LightBDD behavior.
    /// The code below configures LightBDD to produce also a plain text report after all tests are done.
    /// More information on what can be customized can be found on wiki: https://github.com/LightBDD/LightBDD/wiki/LightBDD-Configuration#configurable-lightbdd-features 
    /// </summary>
    protected override void OnConfigure(LightBddConfiguration configuration)
    {
        configuration
            .ReportWritersConfiguration()
            .AddFileWriter<XmlReportFormatter>("~\\Reports\\FeaturesReport.xml")
            .AddFileWriter<MarkdownReportFormatter>("~\\Reports\\FeaturesReport.md")
            .AddFileWriter<HtmlReportFormatter>("~\\Reports\\FeaturesReport.html")
            .AddFileWriter<PlainTextReportFormatter>("~\\Reports\\{TestDateTimeUtc:yyyy-MM-dd-HH_mm_ss}_FeaturesReport.txt");
    }
}

The solution now generates detailed reports after each test run, making it easier to review and share results.
And this is one of the cases in which I do prefer writing myself the code…

Discussion

Human Text:

Read the #solution and add for BDD test output to HTML file

AI Text:

Would you like instructions for using the LightBDD.Console tool to generate HTML reports after your test run?

Human Text:

Please run the #file:’FpFilters.Tests.csproj’ and ensure that it compiles and saves the output of BDD tests into a HTML file

AI Text:

To generate an HTML report:

  1. Download the LightBDD.Console tool

Human Text:

I do not want any console tool. I want output as HTML from BDD .

AI Text:

LightBDD v3.x does not support direct HTML output via configuration or API,

Human Text:

At https://github.com/LightBDD/LightBDD/wiki/Generating-Reports it says that it supports HtmlReportFormatter

AI Text:

You are correct:
LightBDD v3.x supports HtmlReportFormatter for generating HTML reports, but it is only available for the LightBDD.Framework.Reporting package, not the old LightBDD.OutputFormatter.Html package.
….
This is why the automatic HTML report generation via HtmlReportFormatter is not working in your environment.

Human Text:

Ok. Can you add Markdown reporter?

AI Text:

You can now run your tests as usual, and the Markdown report will be generated automatically.

Human Text:

Please compile and modify to not have errors

AI Text:

LightBDD v3.x for .NET 9 does not support direct Markdown or HTML report output via code configuration.

Human Text:

Ok. Can you add XML reporter? Ensure that the solution compiles

AI Text:

This means you cannot use code-based configuration for XML reporting in your project.
