issues in getting customized cucumber reports

[anit1992]

I have a Cucumber TestNG framework that supports BrowserStack. In my browserstack.yml file, I have configured parallel execution across multiple platforms, including iOS and Android.

The execution flow is as follows: I trigger the tests using Maven, which in turn runs my CucumberTestRunner. My goal is to append the platform name to the JSON report path in the @CucumberOptions plugin so that separate reports are generated for Android and iOS.

I initially tried using System.getProperty("platform") to dynamically modify the JSON report path in @CucumberOptions, but encountered an error stating that attributes must be constant. Is there a solution to achieve this dynamically?

Assuming you're using testNG.xml to configure your tests for each platform, you could set the cucumber.plugin property for each platform. See: https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-jvm/tree/main/cucumber-testng#configure-cucumber-options-via-testng-xml

Assuming you're using Maven to configure your tests for each platform, you could set the cucumber.plugin system property. See: https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/system-properties.html#systemPropertyVariables

I'm sorry for making you confused. I am not triggering tests from testng.xml; instead, I am directly triggering the runner class. Therefore, I cannot use the TestNG method solution. In my browserstack.yml file, I have two platforms running in parallel, so System.getProperty or System.setProperty won't work as they cause conflicts.

I'm not that familiar with browser stack.

Sounds like you could copy the AbstractTestNGCucumberTests and modify it so that the setUpClass creates a CucumberPropertiesProvider that for the cucumber.plugin property returns the appropriate dynamic value based on System.getProperty("platform").
