SpecFlow - HTML output from Visual Studio

Question

I'm trying to generate a nice HTML output for my specflow features from Visual Studio. I have resharper installed and I can run my feature tests but I would like to get an html output of the final results.

I have tried several sites which say we can create an External Tools. Here are my settings:

Title: SpecFlow Test Result

Command:C:\TFS\Test_Automation\a.1_Main\Test\AutoUpdateTests\AutoUpdateTests\packages\SpecFlow.1.9.0\tools\specflow.exe

Arguments: nunitexecutionreport AutoUpdateTests.csproj /xmlTestResult:bin\debug\TestResult.xml

Initial directory: $(ProjectDir)

so then I execute my tests and then select Tools -> SpecFlow Test Result

I see a cmd window open briefly but no TestResult.xml file appears.

Any ideas? I also have referenced nunit.framework in my project not sure that matters.

Thanks

Answer 1

I've written a blog post that describes how this is accomplished, yes it's about MsTest but the general idea is the same

Also - in the last 2 minutes of this video Rob Conery hooks Visual Studio up with the SpecFlow test runner, if you rather watch than read.

If you aren't fussy about the format, then there is another way to achieve this,

1. Download a free copy of TeamCity (Other CI servers exist)
2. Add a visual Studio Build step to build your project
3. Add an nUnit Build step to run your tests
4. Look in the build log

[x.Tests.dll] x.Tests.ConfirmThatSchedulesStartAndStopFeature.ProvideAFakeDateTime_Now

Given a schedule called Calc

-> done: ScheduleModelTest.GivenAScheduleCalled("Calc") (0.0s)

And my schedule thinks its Monday 8:00

-> done: ScheduleModelTest.GivenMyScheduleThinksIts("Monday", "8:00") (0.0s)

Then my schedule should tell me its Monday 8:00

-> done: ScheduleModelTest.ThenMyScheduleShouldTellMeIts("Monday", "8:00") (0.0s)
