How to Set Environment in Allure Report

In this article, we will see how we can set environment details in the allure report using java. There is a java library that will allow us to write in key/value pair to environment.xml file on runtime using allure results directly.

The said library supports both JUnit and TestNG as of now.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.automatedowl</groupId>
    <artifactId>allure-environment-writer</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

Add this dependency to your pom.xml.

• This library will help us quickly write the key/value set to environment.xml to the allure-results directory at any test stage.
• This can also configure the path of the 'allure-results' directory.
• The immutableMap object is used here to create a set of immutable values for the specific environment.

Example:

• In this article, we will use JUnit and work this out.

    @Before
    public void setAllureEnvironment() {
        allureEnvironmentWriter(
                ImmutableMap.<String, String>builder().put("Browser", "Chrome").put("Browser.Version", "70.0.3538.77")
                        .put("URL", "http://programsbuzz.com").build(),
                System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/allure-results/");
    }

• Add this onto your @before, and this will get executed before the test execution.
• In case of any error due to the ImmutableMap part, add this dependency.

<dependency>
   <groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
   <artifactId>guava</artifactId>
   <version>23.0</version>
</dependency>

• Add in your environment details here, and then when we generate the report, it should look like this.

• There we go. Our personalized environment has been written using the setAllureEnvironment library successfully.
