Gathering coverage and test information using the SeaLights Java Test Listener is done in a few steps, we recommend to use the Lab ID for this. If your component does not yet support the Lab ID option, use the Build Session ID to connect between the test listener and the test runner:

Starting the Test Listener

First the SeaLights server needs to be notified that a test stage is starting.

java -jar sl-test-listener.jar start -tokenfile /path/to/sltoken.txt -labid <Lab ID> -testStage "Unit Tests" 

java -jar sl-test-listener.jar start -tokenfile /path/to/sltoken.txt -buildsessionidfile buildSessionId.txt -testStage "Unit Tests" 

Running your tests

Functional Tests

Before running your functional tests you need to set up the backend server to receive the test footprints. See 'Using Java Agents - Installing Test Listener as Java Agent'

Once set up you now run your tests normally while generating one or more JUnit xml result files to be reported to the SeaLights server.

Unit Tests

As the unit tests are not run against a backend server, you need to run the actual tests using the Sealights Java Agent while generating one or more JUnit xml result files to be reported to the SeaLights server.

The command is the same as you would use on the backend server. See 'Using Java Agents - Installing Test Listener as Java Agent'

Upload report files

Once done running the tests you upload the report files to the SeaLights server

java -jar sl-test-listener.jar uploadReports -tokenfile /path/to/sltoken.txt -labid <Lab ID> -reportFile "/path/to/junit_report.xml"  -source "Junit xml report"

java -jar sl-test-listener.jar uploadReports -tokenfile /path/to/sltoken.txt -buildsessionidfile buildSessionId.txt -reportFile "/path/to/junit_report.xml"  -source "Junit xml report"

Ending the Test Stage

The server needs to be notified that a test stage has ended.

java -jar sl-test-listener.jar end -tokenfile /path/to/sltoken.txt -labid <Lab ID>

java -jar sl-test-listener.jar end -tokenfile /path/to/sltoken.txt -buildsessionidfile buildSessionId.txt
