Question

How can we run only selected test-cases from extent.html report in selenium webdriver?

Answer 1

For my knowledge, there is no straightforward option to run only failed test cases from the extend.html file, but we can handle it programmatically.

• First, check any test cases failed from the extent.html file using parsing options like JSOUP
• If any test cases failed, then fetch only the failed test cases name.
• Then automatically generate a testng.xml file with the test cases name fetched from HTML file.
• Then trigger as Run by TestNG or something.
• If no test cases failed, just replace the dummy testng.xml file with the template.xml file which should contain all the test cases. 
• Then trigger as Run by TestNG or something.

Hope this will help you

The Extent Report is just that, a report. You can't run tests using it, only see the results.

However, TestNG automatically creates a testng-failed.xml file after each run in the \test-output folder. This will be a pre-formatted XML that lists each item that failed in the last run, and will also auto include any custom parameters / etc that you might be using.

Using that you can run all those failed tests again after the run, the same way you run any other XML testNG file
