Configuration Properties

Ellithium uses various property files to configure testing behavior, logging, and reporting. These files are located in the src/main/resources/properties directory of your project.

Main Configuration

The config.properties file contains core framework settings:

# Number of retries for failed tests/scenarios
retryCountOnFailure=0

# Enable detailed logging (true/false)
loggerExtensiveTraceMode=true

# Default timeout for waiting on elements (seconds)
defaultElementWaitTimeout=60

# Default polling interval for element checks (milliseconds)
defaultElementPollingTime=50

Key Settings

Property	Description	Default
retryCountOnFailure	Number of times to retry failed tests	0
loggerExtensiveTraceMode	Enable detailed trace logging	true
defaultElementWaitTimeout	Element wait timeout in seconds	60
defaultElementPollingTime	Polling interval in milliseconds	50

Allure Reporting Configuration

The allure.properties file controls the Allure report generation:

# Enable/disable Allure report generation
allure.generate.report=true

# Open report automatically after test execution
allure.open.afterExecution=true

# Directory for Allure results
allure.results.directory=Test-Output/Reports/Allure/allure-results

# Directory for generated Allure reports
allure.report.directory=Test-Output/Reports/Allure/allure-report

Key Settings

Property	Description	Default
allure.generate.report	Enable Allure report generation	true
allure.open.afterExecution	Auto-open report after test run	true
allure.results.directory	Directory for results data	Test-Output/Reports/Allure/allure-results
allure.report.directory	Directory for generated report	Test-Output/Reports/Allure/allure-report

Using Properties in Tests

You can access these properties in your tests through the PropertyHelper:

import Ellithium.core.utilities.PropertyHelper;

// Get a property value
String timeout = PropertyHelper.getProperty("config.properties", "defaultElementWaitTimeout");

// Set a property value
PropertyHelper.setProperty("config.properties", "retryCountOnFailure", "2");

Customizing Properties

You can override these properties for specific projects by:

1. Creating your own property files in the same directory structure
2. Setting system properties during test execution:

   mvn test -DdefaultElementWaitTimeout=30
