Cucumber + parallel_tests. HTML results?

Question

I currently try to implement parallel_tests for our Cucumber + Watir-WebDriver acceptance tests. As far it goes great.

However, we got used to nice HTML reports from Cucumber with embedded screenshots of failed scenarios. Cucumber creates reports as a single HTML file with all the features. But with parallel_tests, this HTML file is overwritten with the last called Cucumber process and thus incomplete.

Is it possible to generate several HTML reports or generate HTML reports per features file?

Answer 1

I don't think you have this out of the box. What we ended up doing was writing a new formatter.

Answer 2

Put

default: --format html --out report<%= ENV['TEST_ENV_NUMBER'] %>.html

in ./config/cucumber.yml. Whey you run the tests, you will find report.html, report2.html (...) files in project root.
