Karate provides HTML reports that you can convert to PDF format using various methods. One common approach is to use a headless browser like Puppeteer in Node.js to capture a screenshot of the HTML report and then save it as a PDF. Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. **Install Node.js:**
Make sure you have Node.js installed on your system.
2. **Create a Node.js Project:**
Set up a new Node.js project or navigate to your existing project directory.
3. **Install Puppeteer:**
Install the Puppeteer library, which provides a high-level API to control headless browsers. You can do this by running the following command in your project directory:
```
npm install puppeteer
```
4. **Write a Node.js Script:**
Create a Node.js script to load the Karate HTML report and convert it to a PDF. Below is an example script:
```javascript
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
// Load the Karate HTML report URL
await page.goto('URL_TO_YOUR_KARATE_HTML_REPORT');
// Optionally, you can wait for some time to ensure the page is fully loaded
await page.waitForTimeout(5000);
// Specify the PDF file path
const pdfFilePath = 'karate_report.pdf';
// Capture a screenshot of the HTML report and save it as a PDF
await page.pdf({ path: pdfFilePath, format: 'A4' });
console.log(`PDF report saved to ${pdfFilePath}`);
await browser.close();
})();
```
Replace `'URL_TO_YOUR_KARATE_HTML_REPORT'` with the actual URL of your Karate HTML report.
5. **Run the Node.js Script:**
Save the script as a `.js` file and execute it using Node.js:
```
node convertToPDF.js
```
6. **View the PDF:**
The PDF file (`karate_report.pdf` in this example) will be generated in your project directory. You can view and share the PDF report as needed.
This script uses Puppeteer to open the HTML report in a headless browser, wait for a specified time to ensure the page is fully loaded, and then capture it as a PDF. Adjust the script to fit your specific needs and URL.
