Save Results Locally

Supported within:

Save results locally to utilize the desktop client or the axe DevTools Reporter CLI to build an executive report from a set of scans within your CI/CD pipeline.

A scan's result will be saved as a .json file. Saving results locally is only supported within automated testing.

For XML layouts, be sure to pass in the activity to scan. axe refers to the object you initialized in your test class setup.

axe.scan(activity)?.saveResultToLocalStorage("prefix")

For Compose layouts, axeCompose refers to the object you initialized in your test class setup.

axeCompose.scan()?.saveResultToLocalStorage("prefix")

Accessing the Result Locally

The scan's JSON file will be saved to the Android emulator or device in use. Use the following shell script to ask Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to download the file to your local machine from the scan's current location.

#!/usr/bin/env sh

A=($(adb logcat -d -v raw -e "AxeResult saved at:"))
DIR=${A[${#A[@]}-1]%/*}/
adb pull $DIR

If you see a Permission denied error, usually with Android API 30 and above, then run adb root before adb pull.
