XSLT- Generate Interactive reports on TestNG+ANT

XSLT stands for XML (Extensible Markup Language) Stylesheet Language for Transformations.
XSLT gives interactive(user friendly) reports with "Pie Chart"; but only on TestNG framework. It is better compared to ReportNG and ordinary TestNG reports. It uses the pure XSL for report generation and Saxon as an XSL2.0 implementation.

XSLT = XSL Transformations

Steps to Generate testng-xslt report:

1. Download testng-xslt.zip
2. Unzip and copy the testng-results.xsl from the testng-xslt folder(testng-xslt-1.1\src\main\resources) to your own project folder.
3. Now copy the saxon library from (testng-xslt-1.1\lib\saxon-8.7.jar) to your project lib folder.
4. Make sure Guice-x.x.jar is available in the build path. [As shown in my GIT https://github.com/prashanth-sams/Xslt_Ant_Testng_Example/tree/master/lib]
5. Modify your build.xml of ant and add the following target to it.


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
        <project name="automation" default="Run" basedir=".">
<property name="src.dir" value="${basedir}/src"/>
<property name="build.dir" value="${basedir}/build"/>
<property name="testng_output.dir" value="${basedir}/testng_output"/>

<!-- get class path, used for build -->
<property name="lib.dir" value="${basedir}/lib"/>
<path id="classpath">
        <fileset dir="${lib.dir}" includes="*.jar"/>
<pathelement location="build"/>
       </path>

<!-- create build folder, testng_output folder and remove old log file -->
<target name="init">
<delete dir="${build.dir}"/>
<delete dir="${testng_output}"/>
<delete dir="${basedir}/testng-xslt"/>
<mkdir dir="${build.dir}"/>
<mkdir dir="${basedir}/testng-xslt"/>
                <mkdir dir="${testng_output.dir}"/>
   
</target>

<!-- build all java file to class binary -->
<target name="compile" depends="init">
   <javac srcdir="${basedir}/src" destdir="${basedir}/build" classpathref="classpath" includeantruntime="false">
   <compilerarg value="-Xlint:unchecked"/>
   </javac> 
</target>

<!-- Config for testng -->
<taskdef name="testng" classname="org.testng.TestNGAntTask">
   <classpath>
    <pathelement location="lib/testng-6.8beta.jar"/>
   </classpath>
  </taskdef>
 

<!-- execute testng after compile, then generate report -->
<target name ="Run" depends="compile">

<!-- config testng -->
   <testng outputdir="${testng_output.dir}" classpathref="classpath" useDefaultListeners="true">

    <!-- execute testcase follow testng.xml -->
    <xmlfileset dir="." includes="testng.xml"/>
   
    <!-- generate report title -->
    <sysproperty key="org.uncommons.reportng.title" value="Test Automation"/>
    <sysproperty key="org.uncommons.reportng.escape-output" value="false"/>
   </testng>
</target>
  
<target name="xslt" depends="Run">
                 
   <xslt in="${basedir}/testng_output/testng-results.xml" style="${basedir}/testng-results.xsl" out="${basedir}/testng-xslt/index.html" processor="SaxonLiaison">
                        
            <param expression="${basedir}/testng-xslt/" name="testNgXslt.outputDir" />

            <param expression="true" name="testNgXslt.sortTestCaseLinks" />

            <param expression="FAIL,SKIP,PASS,CONF,BY_CLASS" name="testNgXslt.testDetailsFilter" />

            <param expression="true" name="testNgXslt.showRuntimeTotals" />

            <classpath refid="master-classpath">
            </classpath>
        </xslt>
    </target>

<property name="LIB" value="${basedir}/lib" />
<property name="BIN" value="${basedir}/bin" />
<path id="master-classpath">
<pathelement location="${BIN}" />
      <fileset dir="${LIB}">
         <include name="**/*.jar" />
      </fileset>
</path>

</project>

5. Create TestNG.xml file in your project with the following script for TestNG execution.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<suite name="Suite" parallel="false">

  <test name="Test">

    <classes>

      <class name="package.classname"/>

    </classes>

  </test> <!-- Test -->

</suite> <!-- Suite -->

6. Now, try to run the command.

ant xslt
