Confluence reporter for Newman that uploads newman report on a Confluence page. This needs to be used in conjunction with Newman so that it can recognize the reporting options.
The code gathering the run information is based on neman-reporter-htmlfull, so the data included in the report are not aggregated; each execution is reported independently.
The code also incorporates the latest (at the time of forking) test scripts and repository configuration as newman-reporter-html, with some minor changes.
The installation should be global if newman is installed globally, local otherwise. (Replace -g from the command below with -S for a local installation)
$ npm install -g newman-reporter-confluenceIn order to enable this reporter, specify confluence in Newman's -r or --reporters option.
$ newman run https://www.getpostman.com/collections/631643-f695cab7-6878-eb55-7943-ad88e1ccfd65-JsLv -r confluence --reporter-confluence-export './examples/template-default.wiki' -n 2The options related to Confluence are needed if you want to automatically upload the report page and must be provided all together
(i.e. you cannot provide just one and leave out the others). If no provided, at least the export option must be provided.
In that case you will be responsible to upload the generated wiki template to Confluence.
The report page on Confluence will be placed as child page of the page specified through the parentId option, which must be
in the space with ID spaceId.
When uploading, the algorihtm is as follows:
- The page is searched (for title) in the space provided in the options as spaceId.
- If found, it is updated with the new content
- Otherwise a new page is created, as child of the page whose ID is provided in
options.parentId
The default template used produces wikimarkup text understood by Atlassian © Confluence, and is uploaded on a page through their REST API. This means that the final page won't include any script or custom CSS and therefore is not possible to parse markdown or have any external library such as bootstrap in place.
Effort has been made to exploit standard Confluence plugins and produce a result similar to the newman-reporter-htmlfull template. Nonetheless if you have, in your Confluence installation, a plugin suitable for e.g. render markdown text it's always possible to create a new template to exploit it.
