viewer.html

Sets the command used to view HTML files.

viewer.pdf

Sets the command used to view PDF files.

run Subcommand

Key Command Line Argument Description

--dry

Do not actuate external systems, just write to standard out what could have happened.

run.scripts.after-failure

--after-failure <COMMAND>

A command to run after a test failed test. Typically, cleans up and resets the test system..

run.scripts.after-success

--after-success <COMMAND>

A command to run after a successful test.

run.scripts.before-test

--before-test <COMMAND>

A command to run before each test.

run.scripts.setup

selenium.action-delay

--action-delay <MSEC>

Default delay between Selenium actions, in milliseconds.

--show-sessions

Show Selenium sessions. If this flag is not set we run in 'headless' mode.

source.run-id

--run-id <ID>

An ID of a specific run to execute from the run source. When the run source is :log, <ID> is the id of the run in the database.When the run source is a file name, <ID> is the 1-based index of the run in the file.

run.dev-mode

--dev-mode

Dev mode is special run mode dedicated to automation developers. While in this mode, provengo does not terminate test execution when an assertion fails. Rather, it pauses the test, waits for the user to press Enter, and then continues the test execution. This mode implies --show-sessions.
