result.markdown

Phenomena

result.markdown didn't produce expected table in PDF report.

Actual Result

report.pdf

(My interest is in the Markdown session, as in the screenshot below. There is no message shown in the Markdown section. .)

Expect Result

An example is here:

Details

The result was from the example test_plan_basic.py with an attempt to try out result.markdown in PDF output.

One modification is that I added
pdf_style=StyleArg.DETAILED.value on L202-L208:

@test_plan(
    name="Basic Assertions Example",
    stdout_style=Style(
        passing=StyleEnum.ASSERTION_DETAIL, failing=StyleEnum.ASSERTION_DETAIL
    ),
    pdf_style=StyleArg.DETAILED.value
)
def main(plan):

I wonder if it's an environment issue. But could you shed some light on what might go wrong?

Hello Kang,

Thx for reporting this. The problem is not with your environment. Unfortunately none of the markdown based assertions (log_code/log_html) can be rendered to the pdf yet. This is a feature on our list for a while, though no one asked for it yet, so did not get prioritized. Rendering any kind of html/markdown into the pdf looks to be nontrivial. I count this issue as feature request, so we will see if we can put it into the roadmap any time soon.

Anyone reading this if you know any technology, I missed, that can render markdown/html with Reportlab feel free to post it here, it might speed this piece of work up.
