Fix: Convert Karate html report to PDF format

 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.
