Total Time Taken and TIMESTAMP values incorrect using 2.40.1-beta2

[carlc986]

1. The 'Total Time Taken' on the Analysis page is incorrect, it says 1s+3ms on my report when the tests actually took 1 min, 36 seconds, bitmap included. Is there fix for this, if not, what class is this derived in?
2. The 'TIMESTAMP' column on the Test Details page is incorrect, it is displaying the end time of the entire suite and not the individual test, bitmap included. Is there a fix for this, if not, what class is this derived in?
3. Is there a way to remove the Steps View from the Analysis Page? If not, I'd like to change the title of it, what class is it derived in?

Thanks.

Do you have replaceExisting = false in initialization? Are the tests being run sequentially, or one after the other in breaks? Are you using Extent with TestNG listener?

To remove steps view or rename the heading, you can use javascript from config.xml.

Hi, thanks for the info on the bitmaps. I tried changing the replaceExisting=false but had the same results. I am using TestNG and running the tests sequentially, and also using a TestNG listener that I built, but it is not tied into the Extent reporter, how would I do that? What is the advantages?

Also, can you provide me with a code sample for changing the TIMESTAMP heading and for removing the Steps View? I'm not that familiar with JS. I may want to just change the name as well, what's the command for that? Thanks.,

The total time taken is calculated for a complete run session. If you use replaceExisting = false, what happens is:

• Run 1
  • StartedAt 00:55:30
  • EndedAt 00:56:00
  • Total Time Taken: 30 secs
• Run 2, adds upon Run 1
  • StartedAt (will not change, same as Run1): 00:55:30
  • EndedAt: 00:57:00
  • Total Time Taken: 1min

The total time is not going to be 1min 30 secs after 2nd run, it will be 1min because that is how long it took to complete Run 2. This is by design and is to provide the total time it took to complete the most recent run - as you can use replaceExisting = false to build upon a report for days/weeks.

Support is currently not provided to make any changes to the template/look-and-feel of the UI. Extent uses jQuery to make it easy to make modifications which you can add in the <scripts> tag of config.xml.

Here is the method to be used to modify text. Here is the method used to hide elements.

I'm not sure I follow you on the total time, why would the total time be for just the last testcase run, that doesn't make sense? You're already putting the individual elapsed times with each testcase detail, so it would seem to me that the overall report would have the total time for all the tests in the suite, otherwise, it's a useless data point. Is there a way I can change this also using JQuery?

[anshooarora]

Well, not exactly. Think of it this way: replaceExisting = false appends an already existing report.

If Run 1 occurred yesterday, and took 30 seconds, total time = 30 secs. If Run 2 occurred today, and took 30 seconds, total time would be? 24+ hours?

The next release adds up time taken by all test cases and displays it here, but it's not always gong to match the difference between the report started and ended times.

*Edit: Correction: next release will show current session runtime and also total run time for all tests.

[carlc986]

OK, when is the next release?

[anshooarora]

It will be beta-4, sometime next week.

Beta-4 is out as standalone and maven download.
