How to get a Bamboo test to fail?

[Kevin Roe]

I am running Selenium Webdriver tests (written in python) using Bamboo for our e-commerce platform, and I'm running into an unusual problem. In my tests, I am using assert to make sure that certain buttons / information is displayed. When those assertations fail, the script stops, and the traceback is in the logs, but the Bamboo tests still read success. I also tried raising exceptions, but experienced the same problem. Is there a particular way that Bamboo will recognize a test to have failed? Seeing green on the dashboard does nothing to help me if the tests failed. Thanks.

What version of Bamboo do you have?

Can Bamboo see your tests at all? Bamboo needs parser at the end. I've seen it working for JUnit and I know that there are ways to format python tests in JUnit raport file.

Please look at https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/35809/how-to-parse-django-tests-with-bamboo- is this something similar to your case.
