JUnit XML results

You can generate JUnit XML output in many different automation tools, for example:

• Cucumber
• MochaJS
• RSpec
• JUnit
• Postman

Defaults

• smart: true
• merge_containers: true (if smart is true)

Smart

If smart is enabled and all <testcase> element have a filled classname="" attribute:

Will group recursively by splitting the classname at every . character. This means the following:

Say we have an XML file with the following data:

<testsuite name="rspec">
<testcase classname="spec.models.company_spec" name="Subscribe"></testcase>
<testcase classname="spec.models.company_spec" name="Add an owner"></testcase>
<testcase classname="spec.models.company_spec" name="Expect 1 owner" ></testcase>
<testcase classname="spec.models.container_spec" name="Add container"></testcase>
<testcase classname="spec.models.container_spec" name="Expect 1 container"></testcase>
</testsuite>

smart disabled:

• spec
  • Subscribe
  • Add an owner
  • Expect 1 owner
  • Add container
  • Expect 1 container

smart enabled

• spec
  • Spec
    • Models
      • Company spec

Undocumented field

system-out and system-err

On this Stack Overflow page, it is explained that there are more accepted fields than IBM originally shows. We also look for these fields. A <testcase> can contain a <system-out> element. We will read its contents and write it to exception_backtrace, see Calliope format.
