How can I include a failure screenshot to the testNG report

Question

currently I am taking screenshots of my test failures this way:

@AfterMethod(alwaysRun=true)
public void catchExceptions(ITestResult result){
    Calendar ca         


        

Answer 1

Customizing a bit of ExtentReport can give extremely useful report having exception+screenshot captured exactly at time of test failure . Screenshot can be placed alongside exception which user can use to know what was website doing when error occurred.

Report Example Test

      @Test (enabled=true)                           
        public void verifySearch() {
       extentlogger = extent.createTest("To verify verifySearch");
      //Your other code here.....
        soft.assertEquals("xxx", "xxxx");
        soft.assertAll();
      }

AfterMethod

     @AfterMethod
     public void getResult(ITestResult result) throws Exception{
      if(result.getStatus() == ITestResult.FAILURE)
     {
        extentlogger.log(Status.FAIL, MarkupHelper.createLabel(result.getThrowable() + 
        " - Test Case Failed", ExtentColor.RED));
    
        try {
        // get path of captured screenshot using custom failedTCTakeScreenshot method
        String screenshotPath = failedTCTakeScreenshot( result);
        extentlogger.fail("Test Case Failed Snapshot is below " + 
      extentlogger.addScreenCaptureFromPath(screenshotPath));
       } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        }
      }
     }
