Generate logs using scenario instance

You can use the log() method to output text into the report. This method only accepts a string, unlike the extent adapter, which provides several parameters.

Generate logs using ExtentCucumberAdapter addTestStepLog() method

This method is similar to scenario.log() method, which accepts only string.

ExtentCucumberAdapter.addTestStepLog("Log added using Add Test Step Log");

Generate logs using ExtentCucumberAdapter logs() method

With the Extent Cucumber Adapter logs() method, you can use different extent statuses like Pass, Fail, and Skip. Also, you can attach a screenshot and use other markups.

1. Info

ExtentCucumberAdapter.getCurrentStep().log(Status.INFO, "Test INFO");

2. Warning

ExtentCucumberAdapter.getCurrentStep().log(Status.WARNING, "Test WARNING");

3. Skip

ExtentCucumberAdapter.getCurrentStep().log(Status.SKIP, "Test SKIPPED");

4. Pass

ExtentCucumberAdapter.getCurrentStep().log(Status.PASS, "Test PASS");

5. Fail

ExtentCucumberAdapter.getCurrentStep().log(Status.FAIL, "Test Fail");

6. Using Markup

ExtentCucumberAdapter.getCurrentStep().log(Status.INFO, MarkupHelper.createLabel("My Label", ExtentColor.RED));

7. Screenshot

ExtentCucumberAdapter.getCurrentStep().log(Status.FAIL, MediaEntityBuilder.createScreenCaptureFromBase64String(getBase64Screenshot()).build());
