Allure Cucumber.rb configuration

Behavior of the Allure Cucumber.rb adapter can be customized by calling the AllureCucumber.configure() function in your project's features/support/env.rb file. For example:

require 'allure-cucumber'

AllureCucumber.configure do |config|
  config.results_directory = 'allure-results'
  config.clean_results_directory = true
end

results_directory

Path to the directory where Allure Cucumber.rb will save the test results, see How it works. If the directory does not exist, it will be created. Defaults to “reports/allure-results”.

require 'allure-cucumber'

AllureCucumber.configure do |config|
  config.results_directory = 'allure-results'
end

clean_results_directory

If set to true, the results directory will be cleaned before generating new test results.

By default, the existing data is kept intact, which allows combining results of multiple test runs into a single test report.

require 'allure-cucumber'

AllureCucumber.configure do |config|
  config.clean_results_directory = true
end

logger, logging_level

Configure the logger to which Allure Cucumber.rb will send messages about the beginning and end of each test or test step.

require 'allure-cucumber'

AllureCucumber.configure do |config|
  config.logger = Logger.new($stdout, Logger::DEBUG)
  config.logging_level = Logger::INFO
end

link_issue_pattern, link_tms_pattern

Define templates that can be used to construct full URLs from short identifiers, see the reference. The pattern must contain {} at the position where the identifier should be placed.

require 'allure-cucumber'

AllureCucumber.configure do |config|
  config.link_issue_pattern = 'http://www.jira.com/browse/{}'
  config.link_tms_pattern = 'http://www.jira.com/browse/{}'
end

environment_properties

Key-value pairs that will be displayed on the report's main page, see Environment information.

require 'allure-cucumber'

AllureCucumber.configure do |config|
  config.environment_properties = {
    os_platform: RbConfig::CONFIG['host_os'],
    ruby_version: RUBY_VERSION,
  }
end

categories

Path to the categories file. Allure Cucumber.rb will copy this file to the result directory, so that it can be used for analyzing the test results in the report.

require 'allure-cucumber'

AllureCucumber.configure do |config|
  config.categories = File.new('my_custom_categories.json')
end

Gherkin tag prefixes

Allure Cucumber.rb supports setting certain details of a test via special Gherkin tags on the feature level or the scenario level. You can configure which prefixes Allure Cucumber.rb will recognize as such special tags.

• The tag prefix for setting the test's severity is specified by severity_prefix.

• The tag prefixes for adding issue and TMS links to the test are specified by issue_prefix and tms_prefix.

• The tag prefixes for placing a test into the behavior-based hierarchy are specified by epic_prefix, feature_prefix, story_prefix.

By default, Allure Cucumber.rb uses the values shown in the example below.

require 'allure-cucumber'

AllureCucumber.configure do |config|
  config.tms_prefix      = 'TMS:'
  config.issue_prefix    = 'ISSUE:'
  config.severity_prefix = 'SEVERITY:'
  config.epic_prefix     = 'EPIC:'
  config.feature_prefix  = 'FEATURE:'
  config.story_prefix    = 'STORY:'
end
