[Question] Using a custom report template #58

Open EliottPaillard opened 1 month ago

EliottPaillard commented 1 month ago

Hello @costas80,

We're thinking about maybe use our own custom test session report template. We have already some tools from our side to convert an xml file in a PDF one and I was wondering if it would be possible to use them to allow users to download our report directly from ITB.

I believe ITB does not propose to use a custom converter yet. Do you think it is possible for ITB to offer this kind of things?

Hi @EliottPaillard.

That sounds like a nice feature. Currently if you connect as a community (or Test Bed) admin you can configure report settings for a community. There are options here for customising the built-in PDF reports for a conformance statement/overview certificate but for other kinds of reports (conformance statement/overview report, test case report, test step report) we only provide the possibility to configure an XSLT to customise the report when produced in XML.

Based on what you suggest I would foresee the possibility to configure a REST service to which the XML report will be posted and that will expect a response with the PDF report to download for the user. Like that you will be able to use your converter implementation directly assuming you wrap it with a simple API.

If this sounds good (please confirm) I'll add it to the backlog for implementation.

Hey @costas80

Indeed it sounds good to me, we planned to work on this from our side soon. I'll keep you up-to-date

Thanks for confirming @EliottPaillard. We will also plan development for this so I'll also let you know when it is available to use. In brief for the integration you should simply consider a REST endpoint that receives via HTTP POST the XML report as the request's body, and responds with the resulting PDF (sent as the response's body).
