looks liek you missed to add following 2 tags in the extemt-config file and because of which it was throwing -[Fatal Error] :6:5: Content is not allowed in prolog.

Tags-

Solution :
xml should start with

I’ve done the exact same steps as above and I get a similar error

first
[Fatal Error] :6:5: Content is not allowed in prolog.
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 6; columnNumber: 5; Content is not allowed in prolog.

and therefore remaining get skipped

this is my startReport() function
@BeforeTest
public void startReport()
{
extent = new ExtentReports(System.getProperty(“user.dir”) +”/test-output/MyOwnReport.html”, true);
extent.addSystemInfo(“Host Name”, “Rahul”);
extent.loadConfig(new File(System.getProperty(“user.dir”)+”\\extent-config.xml”));
}

extent = new ExtentReports (System.getProperty(“user.dir”)+”/test-output/ReportExtent00.html”,true);
Why you gave the report name with ’00′(any specific reason?)
extent.loadConfig(new File(System.getProperty(“user.dir”+”/Extent-Config.xml”)));
in the above line you did not closed after the “user.dir”. Close that and try again.

Help needed 🙂
I try your code and it gives this error.
“FAILED CONFIGURATION: @BeforeTest startReport
java.lang.NullPointerException”

and here is the startReport method.

public void startReport()
{

extent = new ExtentReports (System.getProperty(“user.dir”)+”/test-output/ReportExtent00.html”,true);
extent.addSystemInfo(“Host Name”, “Shakya”);
extent.addSystemInfo(“Environmet”, “QA”);
extent.addSystemInfo(“User Name”, “Shakya RDN”);
extent.loadConfig(new File(System.getProperty(“user.dir”+”/Extent-Config.xml”)));

}

What is the mistake I have done…

Thank you very much!

Thanks for the feedback Mohit.
Will do definitely once I get the time.

Nice Tutorial, could you please create a simple tutorial on Extent Reporting with Parallel Execution with TestNG

I am planning to make a framework or some example video to show how we can use in the framework level soon.

How can we make a generic extent report class and use it in our Page Object Model Framework.

Please guide on same.

Thank you
