Allure.SpecFlow 2.11.0

SpecFlow Adapter

Currently supports SpecFlow v2.1 - 3.9.*

See Allure report generated from https://github.com/allure-framework/allure-csharp/tree/main/Allure.Features

Please use corresponding NuGet package version.

Installation

Install Allure.SpecFlow nuget package according to your Specflow version.

For users of Mac with Apple silicon

If you're developing on a Mac machine with Apple silicon, make sure you have Rosetta installed. Follow this article for the instructions: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211861

You may also install Rosetta via the CLI:

/usr/sbin/softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license

Configuration

For Specflow 3 please add or update the following section in your specflow.json:

{
  "stepAssemblies": [
    { "assembly": "Allure.SpecFlowPlugin" }
  ]
}

The plugin uses allureConfig.json extended with custom sections that are described below.

Custom host name

In case if you want to customize host name which is displayed in Allure Timeline section, please configure allure.title property in json configuraion file.

{
    "allure": {
        "title": "My title"
    }
}

If you use NUnit

The default value for allure.directory in allureConfig.json is "allure-results". The default working directory in NUnit 3.* depends on what runner you use.

If you don't want to place allure results into NUnit default working folder please either set absolute path in allure.config or set working directory for NUnit in your test setup, e.g.:

[OneTimeSetUp]
public void Init()
{
   Environment.CurrentDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(GetType().Assembly.Location);
}

Usage

Just run your SpecFlow scenarios and find the allure-results folder ready to generate Allure report.

Features

Grouping

You can structure your scenarios in 3 Allure hierarchies using feature and scenario tags. Please read report structure Allure documentation section for additional details. Hierarchies consist of the following levels:

Suites

• Parent Suite
• • Suite
• • • Sub Suite

Behaviors

• Epic
• • Feature
• • • Story

Packages

• Package
• • Class
• • • Method

The plugin uses allure:grouping configuration section to parse tags with the regular expression. If the expression contains the group, it will be used as hierarchy level name otherwise entire match will be used. E.g:

^mytag.* : any tags starting with @mytag will be used for grouping.

^type:(ui|api) : @ui or @api tags from regex pattern will be used for grouping.

Check this config example as a starting point.

Links

You can add links to your scenarios using tags. Tag and link patterns can be configured in allureConfig.json

{
  "allure": {
    "links": [
      "https://myissuetracker.org/{issue}",
      "https://mytestmanagementsystem.org?test={tms}"
    ]
  },
  "specflow": {
    "links": {
      "link": "^link:(.+)",
      "issue": "^\\d+",
      "tms": "^tms:(\\d+)"
    }
  }
}

The following scenario

@123456 @tms:42 @link:http://example.org 
Scenario: I do like click on links in Allure report 

will have three links in Allure report: 123456, 42 and http://example.org.

Links generated dynamically during the tests can be added in code via AllureLifecycle. The next example adds the Example link link at runtime:

AllureLifecycle.Instance.UpdateTestCase(tc =>
{
    tc.links.Add(new Link()
    {
        name = "Example link",
        url = "http://example.com"
    });
});

Severity

You can add Severity for your scenarios using tags. It can be configured in allureConfig.json:

 "labels": {
      "severity": "^(normal|blocker|critical|minor|trivial)"
    },

The following scenario

@critical
Scenario: ....

sets the current scenario's severity in Allure report as Blocker.

Label

You can add allure labels for your scenarios using tags. It can be configured in allureConfig.json:

 "labels": {
      "label": "^label:([\\w]+):(.+)"
    },

The following scenario

@label:layer:e2e: @label:allure_id:123
Scenario: ....

sets the current scenario's layer as e2e and Id as 123 in Allure report

Tables conversion

Table arguments in SpecFlow steps can be converted either to step csv-attacments or step parameters in the Allure report. The conversion is configurable in specflow:stepArguments config section.

With specflow:stepArguments:convertToParameters set to true the following table arguments will be represented as parameters:

• one row tables
• two column tables with the headers matching both specflow:stepArguments:paramNameRegex and specflow:stepArguments:paramValueRegex regular expressions.

<table> <th>SpecFlow</th> <th>Allure</th> <tr> <td>

</td> <td>

</td> </tr> </table>

Attachments

You can add attachments to an Allure report from your step bindings:

using Allure.Net.Commons;
...
Allure.AddAttachment(path, "Attachment Title");
// or
Allure.AddAttachment("Attachment Title", "application/txt", "path");
// where "application/txt" - the type of your attachment

Known issues

Selective run might not work

Under rare circumstances selective run feature might not work. Issue [#369] contains some additional details.

If you are affected by this, you may try to switch to the Debug configuration as a workaround until we come up with a solution.
