How to Email Extent Report in Selenium WebDriver

To email an Extent Report generated by Selenium WebDriver, you can use the following steps:

• Generate the Extent Report using Selenium WebDriver and save it to a local directory.
• Use a Java email library, such as apache commons mail, to create an email message.
• Attach the Extent Report file to the email message using the attachment functionality provided by the email library.
• Specify the recipient's email address, subject, and body of the email message.
• Use an email provider like Gmail or Yahoo to send the email message.

EmailAttachment attachment = new EmailAttachment();

        attachment.setPath("C:\\Users\\arili\\git\\Assignments\\Selenium\\target\\tutu.html");

        attachment.setDisposition(EmailAttachment.ATTACHMENT);
        attachment.setDescription(" Test Execution Report");
        attachment.setName("Report.html");

        // Create the email message
        MultiPartEmail email = new MultiPartEmail();
        email.setHostName("smtp.gmail.com");
        email.setSSLOnConnect(true);
        email.setSmtpPort(465);
        email.setAuthenticator(new DefaultAuthenticator("your email", "authentication_code"));
        email.addTo("toemail", "Test");
        email.setFrom("from email", "Me");
        email.setSubject("Automation Test Execution Report");
        email.setMsg("Automation Test Execution Report");
    email.attach(attachment);

        email.send();

• First, we use the apache commons mail library and set the path of the extent report.
• Then we put the description and then used the multipart email library.
• Here we set the SMTP port and other Gmail authentication tokens and emails.
• Set the from mail and to mail accordingly.
• Finally, attach the attachment and send the mail.

Conclusion:

This is a simple and effective way of sending a freshly generated extent report through mail.
