Allure report: nothing shown in Chrome

Question

I\'m trying to use Allure-framework to generate a report for my Selenium WebDriver tests. I use JUnit framework and allure-maven-plugin with version 1.3.9 of Al

Answer 1

To use allure report in chrome, you have two options:

• Use mvn allure:serve target. It will generate the report and open a tab in Chrome (if default browser)
• Generate the report using mvn allure:report target and serve the site your self, using any http server. if you have node you can use http-server for example npm install http-server -g and then http-server target/site/allure-maven-plugin)

DO NOT use --allow-file-access-from-files flag, is it DANDEGEROUS

Answer 2

In Addition to the above answer using "--ignore-certifcate-errors" with chromeOptions might be helpfull.

DesiredCapabilities capabilities;
capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.addArguments("--ignore-certifcate-errors");
chromeOptions.addArguments("test-type");
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, chromeOptions);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);

Answer 3

This problem is related to default Webkit security settings which forbid doing Ajax requests on the local filesystem. You have at least two possible solutions:

1. Serve index.html with some web-server like Nginx or Apache. This will emulate remote website and thus trick your browser. With Allure CLI 2.0+ this can be done using the following command:

$ allure report open

2. Use --allow-file-access-from-files Chrome flag. See details in this question.
