trendline

[roydekleijn]

Hello,

I like to know how you go about with generating the trendline? So far I know there is some manual file copy step involved.

Steps I use now:

1. Run tests with mvn clean test
2. Create report with mvn allure:report
3. Then I copy the history folder manually with: cp -R target/site/allure-maven-plugin/history target/allure-results/
4. Run the tests again with mvn test
5. Create report with mvn allure:report

This all works! I get a nice report including trendline. But,

1. Is this the way to go?
2. Can we include this file copy step in this plugin? So, when we execute mvn allure:report it checks for the previous report and copies the files.

I'm happy to hear from you, if step 2 should be implemented, I'm happy to help,
Roy

@roydekleijn Sorry, mate. We're trying our best to react to all the community feedback. As for today, the best way to contact the team is to create a discussion: https://github.com/orgs/allure-framework/discussions. We receive a notification to our Slack channel for each created discussion.

Regarding your question:

You're right; for Maven, you should copy the history manually. History was designed mainly for use in the CI environment, where the CI plugin will take care of it. It's been a while since then, and now we can see the community loves our history feature. There is definitely room for improvement.

Can you please provide a few use cases when the Allure Maven plugin should handle the history?
