FunctionalReport

Definition

These Ant tags create a report for the Appvance CI Complex Functional Runner (FunctionalExecuter ).

Qualified Class Name

com.appvance.ci.functional.FunctionalReport

Input Params

credentials File will be similar to this

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXX

AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=XXX

REGION:us-west-2.ec2.amazonaws.com

Ouput

Upon successful ant task, the “reportFolder” will contain a correctly generated report of the execution based on the results inside the “resultsFolder”.

If the bucketBase & credentials are set, the task will find previous executions (if any) inside Amazon AWS to fill the results column.

Ant Task Example

<taskdef name="Report" classname="com.appvance.ci.functional.FunctionalReport">

<classpath refid="CIPath" />

</taskdef>

<Report

projectName="${projectName}"

resultsFolder="${resultFolder}"

reportFolder="${reportFolder}"

environment="${environment}"

credentials="${awsCredentials}"

product="${product}"

buildVersion="${buildVersion}"

bucketBase="${Bucket}" />

Dashboard Git Support

A sample of targets that are added to your build.xml will enable you to run scenarios and AISG and upload the results to a GIT repository.

You will need to provide GIT credentials in a credentials JSON file pointed by the gitCredentials property

Terminate Instance

Terminates an ec2 instance using the instance id coming from the console details file.

Input

{

"instanceId": "i-TheInstanceId",

"url": "http://[some domain goes here]:8080/TMServer/ws/TestNode"

}

Cloud File

This XML file can be encrypted by AIQ or visible in plain text, this file is required to establish a connection with AWS

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<cloud type="EC2" version="1">

<config-param key="AIQProtocol" value="http"/>

<config-param key="AIQPort" value="8080"/>

<config-param key="AccountName" value="XXX"/>

<config-param key="AWSKey" value="XXX"/>

<config-param key="AWSSecretAcessKey" value="XXX//XX"/>

<config-param key="AMI" value="ami-XX"/>

<config-param key="InstanceType" value="t2.xlarge"/>

<config-param key="KeyPair" value="XX"/>

<config-param key="Security" value="sg-XX"/>

<config-param key="AWSRegion" value="http://us-west-2.ec2.amazonaws.com "/>

<config-param key="vpcId" value="vpc-XX"/>

<config-param key="subnetId" value="subnet-XX"/>

</cloud>

Tag Definition

<target name="TerminateInstance" depends="deps">

<taskdef name="TerminateInstance" classname="com.appvance.ci.TerminateInstance">

<classpath refid="RestClientLibPath" />

</taskdef>

<LaunchInstance

testNodeDetails="${testNodeDetails}"

cloudFile="${cloudFile}"/>

</target>

Output

There is no output since the instance is terminated and all processes are completed.

Launch Instance

This tag can create an ec2 instance from an existing AMI.

Note:

The AMI should have everything configured:

  • AIQ running as a service

  • Database fully installed

Inputs:

Cloud File created with AIQ:

AWS Creds

Note:

These three fields are required.

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=AKIAZ******

AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=eFK*****ojk/7ZCNb1fk*****Lq

REGION=us-west-2.ec2.amazonaws.com

Cloud File

This xml file can be encrypted by AIQ or visible in plain text

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<cloud type="EC2" version="1">

<config-param key="AIQProtocol" value="http"/>

<config-param key="AIQPort" value="8080"/>

<config-param key="AccountName" value="XXX"/>

<config-param key="AWSKey" value="XXX"/>

<config-param key="AWSSecretAcessKey" value="********"/>

</cloud>

Tag Definition

<target name="LaunchInstance" depends="deps">

<taskdef name="LaunchInstance" classname="com.appvance.ci.LaunchInstance">

<classpath refid="RestClientLibPath" />

</taskdef>

<LaunchInstance

credentials="${awsCredentials}"

testNodeDetails="${testNodeDetails}"

cloudFile="${cloudFile}"/>

</target>

Output

{

"instanceId": "[auto generated instance ID]",

"url": "http://[auto generated domain]:8080/TMServer/ws/TestNode"

}

UploadReportToS3

Qualified Class Name:

com.appvance.AISG.UploadReportToS3

Input Params

  • fileConfig="generateRegressionScenario.json"

  • aiqCreds="controller01.json"

  • consoleDetails="consoleDetails.json"

  • logsRemoteFolder="E:/Regression/Logs"

  • projectName="moduleName"

  • outputFolder="Output"

Output
