Gathering coverage and test information using the SeaLights Python agent without a supported framework is done in a few steps:

See 'Generating an Agent token' for instructions on how to generate a token

Starting the test stage

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

Sample command

sl-python start --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 Python Agents - Running backend server using SeaLights 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.

Running your tests - Unit Tests

As the unit tests are not run against a backend server, you need to run the actual tests using the Sealights Node.js 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 Python Agents - Running backend server using SeaLights agent'

Upload report files

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

Sample command for a single file

sl-python uploadreports --reportfile "/path/to/junit_report.xml"

Ending the Test Stage

Notify the SeaLights server that the test stage has ended.
