Class Attachment


  • public final class Attachment
    extends Object
    Represents the Attachment message in Cucumber's message protocol

    Attachments (parse errors, execution errors, screenshots, links...)

    An attachment represents any kind of data associated with a line in a [Source](#io.cucumber.messages.Source) file. It can be used for:

    * Syntax errors during parse time * Screenshots captured and attached during execution * Logs captured and attached during execution

    It is not to be used for runtime errors raised/thrown during execution. This is captured in `TestResult`.

    • Method Detail

      • getBody

        public String getBody()
        The body of the attachment. If `contentEncoding` is `IDENTITY`, the attachment is simply the string. If it's `BASE64`, the string should be Base64 decoded to obtain the attachment.
      • getContentEncoding

        public AttachmentContentEncoding getContentEncoding()
        Whether to interpret `body` "as-is" (IDENTITY) or if it needs to be Base64-decoded (BASE64).

        Content encoding is *not* determined by the media type, but rather by the type of the object being attached:

        - string: IDENTITY - byte array: BASE64 - stream: BASE64

      • getFileName

        public Optional<String> getFileName()
        Suggested file name of the attachment. (Provided by the user as an argument to `attach`)
      • getMediaType

        public String getMediaType()
        The media type of the data. This can be any valid [IANA Media Type](https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml) as well as Cucumber-specific media types such as `text/x.cucumber.gherkin+plain` and `text/x.cucumber.stacktrace+plain`
      • getTestCaseStartedId

        public Optional<String> getTestCaseStartedId()
        The identifier of the test case attempt if the attachment was created during the execution of a test step
      • getTestStepId

        public Optional<String> getTestStepId()
        The identifier of the test step if the attachment was created during the execution of a test step
      • getUrl

        public Optional<String> getUrl()
        A URL where the attachment can be retrieved. This field should not be set by Cucumber. It should be set by a program that reads a message stream and does the following for each Attachment message:

        - Writes the body (after base64 decoding if necessary) to a new file. - Sets `body` and `contentEncoding` to `null` - Writes out the new attachment message

        This will result in a smaller message stream, which can improve performance and reduce bandwidth of message consumers. It also makes it easier to process and download attachments separately from reports.

      • getTestRunStartedId

        public Optional<String> getTestRunStartedId()
        Not used; implementers should instead populate `testRunHookStartedId` if an attachment was created during the execution of a test run hook
      • getTestRunHookStartedId

        public Optional<String> getTestRunHookStartedId()
        The identifier of the test run hook execution if the attachment was created during the execution of a test run hook
      • getTimestamp

        public Optional<Timestamp> getTimestamp()
        When the attachment was created
      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        Overrides:
        hashCode in class Object
