AWS Device Farm.How can i save the custom report being generated after the test case into my local space

I am working with AWS device farm.My test script when run on my local system works as expected and generates a report in my local system at specified path.Now when i run the code in the device farm the report does not get generated.Am i missing something?

This is my test code to write the test cases to a html report.

package testOutput;

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.io.Writer;

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.List;

    public static void WriteResultToHtml(List<TestReportSteps> items, String getCurrentDateTime, String getCurrentTime) {
        try {String filePath="C:\\\\Appium\\\\app-qc-debug.apk";
     ApkFile apkFile = new ApkFile(new File(filePath));
        ApkMeta apkMeta = apkFile.getApkMeta();

        String Version=apkMeta.getVersionName();
            DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yy, HH:mm:ss");
            Date dateobj = new Date();
            String currentDateTime = df.format(dateobj);

Solution

The path the code is referencing doesn't exist in the device host for the farm. The Device Host for android tests is a Linux machine and from my experience we have access to the tmp directory. By using the custom artifacts feature of Device Farm and the tmp directory this should be possible. Try changing the path to the html file to:

htmlFilepath = "/tmp/reports/testfile.html";

Then, using the web console, explicitly mark that directory to be exported.

Once the testes finish, you should see a link for customer artifacts.

Additionally, you may be interested in other options for test reports like

rather than writing your own from scratch.
