Producing a xUnit test output similar to Junit output on gitlab CI - junit

We have .NET Core 3 codebase and the unit and integration tests are ran on the Gitlab CI.
Problem is, when one or more unit/int. tests fail, nothing specific is shown, you have to look at the entire pipeline dump and search to see for individual failed tests.
Looking at https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/unit_test_reports.html, Junit report is exactly solving this issue.
Consulting with the How to capture structured xUnit test output in Gitlab CI?, I still wasn't able to find a proper solution.
Main problem is, there are multiple test projects that are executed with the dotnet test command:
current snapshot of gitlab.yaml file:
artifacts:
when: always
reports:
junit: ./Test.xml
script:
- for proj in $(dotnet sln MySolution.sln list | grep 'Test.csproj$'); do dotnet test --logger "junit;LogFilePath=Test.xml" $proj; done
Now the problematic is the script part, where we iterate through all the test assemblies and do the dotnet test for each project.
Is there a way to somehow produce a single junit xml log file out of each project and feed it to junit test report in the
reports:
junit: ./Test.xml
line?

You don't have to combine the reports. The artifacts:reports:junit key accepts multiple values, including glob patterns.
artifacts:
reports:
junit:
- "test.xml"
- "./tests/*.xml"
So, one solution would be to have all your XML output files in a particular directory and use a glob pattern in your .gitlab-ci.yml file that matches the many files.
If you really want to merge the xUnit XML files isntead, see this answer

FitNesse: How to send tests execution reports from Jenkins to an endpoint in JSON format?

I have a task to send reports of periodic execution of FitNesse tests to some specific endpoint in some specific JSON format.
I set periodic execution of tests in Jenkins properties and saving it in XML, but now I need to parse information about results of it.
It cannot be just step in "after build" property in Jenkins (or can, but I don't know a plugin for it), but what it would be and how I can do this?
Especially, I don't need information about the test, only general moments like date of the test, pass rate, status, name of the project, etc.
I think the best way to solve this is to make a script that parses the XML file, and creates the required JSON file. We normally use python scripts for this.
If you need certain generic information of the build in the script, like build number, you can pass this to your script using the Jenkins environments.
To call the script just add a batch or shell step, and place it below your fitnesse build step, to make sure the XML is generated before calling the script.
FitNesse comes with a jUnit runner which allows you to execute a test/suite. If you create a test class annotated with #RunWith(FitNesseRunner.class) and include its execution in a Jenkins Maven job (where the jUnit class is executed by either surefire or failsafe plugin), the outcome of the tests executed will be picked up automatically by Jenkins, just like it picks up other/regular jUnit tests (as surefire or failsafe will include them in their XML reports and Jenkins will pick these up).
You can find a sample Maven FitNesse project using (a slightly customised version of) this approach at https://github.com/fhoeben/sample-fitnesse-project. How to run the tests on Jenkins is described at https://github.com/fhoeben/hsac-fitnesse-fixtures#to-run-the-tests-on-a-build-server:
Have the build server checkout the project and execute mvn clean test-compile failsafe:integration-test. The result in JUnit XML results can be found in: target/failsafe-reports (Jenkins will pick these up automatically for a Maven job)
You indicate you don't need the HTML results, but they will be made available. They can be found in: target/fitnesse-results/index.html, and you could choose to use the 'HTML Publisher' Jenkins plugin to link to them from each build.

Jenkins Post Build Publish JUnit Results not getting all files

I've got files stored in my workspace as:
selenium-tests/results/results-0.xml
selenium-tests/results/results-1.xml
selenium-tests/results/results-2.xml
selenium-tests/results/results-3.xml
selenium-tests/results/results-4.xml
I'm publishing JUnit test results with the fileset pattern: **/results/results-*.xml. All five files aren't present in the test results. It's also never the same result files included.
These are three runs back to back to back with the same exact configuration and tests. They're failing because our staging environment is down right now.
I've even gone as far as **/results/results-0.xml, **/results/results-1.xml, **/results/results-2.xml, **/results/results-3.xml, **/results/results-4.xml and am still having the same issues.

generating reports in Jenkins

Need to run a job in Jenkins after successfully running the tests it needs to perform as post-build action for generating test reports
For this i have configured
Publish JUnit test result report
In the field
Test Report XMLs: continuum/*/target/surefire-reports/*TestSuite.xml
'continuum/*/target/surefire-reports/TestSuite.xml' doesn't match anything: 'continuum' exists but not 'continuum//target/surefire-reports/*TestSuite.xml'
Can you please help me out in resolving the error....??
I assume you have an 'Execute JUnit tests' Build step. This will produce a JUnit XML file to a location you specify, say, TestOutput/junitresults.xml.
In the 'Publish JUnit test result report' Post Build step you just need to specify TestOutput/junitresults.xml.
As long as your tests executed and produced the output file the Post Build step won't fail to publish it, whether the tests failed or not.
You shouldn't be trying to publish files in the surefire-reports directory unless that it where you told JUnit to write its output file. Normally you wouldn't.
If you want to make it even simpler just tell JUnit to write its output file to the Jenkins WORKSPACE root by removing the TestOutput/ and just specify junitresults.xml.

Can jenkins report on history with jUnit and nUnit test output in a single Project

I have an ASP .NET MVC project that is built in a Jenkins project. We're using the nUnit plugin to fangle the output from our unit tests as a post-build step.
I've just added Jasmine tests for the javascript in the project and added a step in MSBuild to have Chutzpah run the Jasmine tests and output the results in jUnit format.
I added a post build step to process the jUnit results file and Jenkins runs the build and presents two 'Test Results' links in the Build result page...
However, when I click those links both go to the same result. When I left yesterday it was the nUnit results this morning it's the jUnit results so I'm guessing that it's just whichever finished last?
Is this possible? Do I need to do things a different way?
I would try just using the xUnit plugin, that way you can configure it to take bothe the junit and nunit test results all in a single publisher.
There is a bug in Jenkins related to this: NUnit Plugin fails to merge Unit test reports with unit tests split on basis of category.
To get around this, just put your NUnit post build action as the last that it works!

Generating JUnit reports from the command line

I have a test setup for a cloud system that uses a mixture of python for process level control and junit for internal state inspection. Essentially, I bring up several VMs to server as the cloud and then a junit VM which is a member of the cloud but drives tests and checks internal state. Our existing cloud management stuff is driven by python and I would like to maintain this.
I have a working setup that will run the JUnit command line via
java -ea -cp <classpath> org.junit.runner.JUnitCore <tests>
but this does not produce an report file. I know that ant is capable of producing an xml report, but I do not want to involve ant in this process (I have enough moving parts already).
Is there a way to launch junit from the command line such that it produces a report?
Ideally, I would have the junit tests produce xml reports, the python tests produce xml reports, and then merge them together for consumption by our CI system.
Update: The command line execution must support Windows, Linux, and Mac. We are not allowed to ship an external ant, although packaging an internal ant might be an option.
The JUnit library does not have any XML output options. To achieve such a thing, you'll need to write your own RunListener, which listens for the output and will in your case write the XML file.
However, to get the XML file in the correct format so that it can be read by CI system, I think it would be far easier to just use ant, either via the command line using a build.xml (JUnitReport), or using the java api: How can i use Apache ANT Programmatically.
EDIT: Initially, we had four options:
Use ant from the command line
Use ant programmatically (using the Java API)
Use the XMLJUnitResultFormatter directly with JUnitCore
Create a custom RunListener which produces the correct XML output.
Given the restrictions added by the OP, we can't use ant from the command line, which eliminates 1.
After looking more closely at the Ant JUnit task, it seems to be impossible to use this with JUnitCore (adding a TestListener), because ant uses the name of the test class directly, so you can't do a bridge class. From XMLJUnitResultFormatter.java
private void formatError(String type, Test test, Throwable t) {
...
nested.setAttribute(ATTR_TYPE, t.getClass().getName());
String strace = JUnitTestRunner.getFilteredTrace(t);
Text trace = doc.createTextNode(strace);
nested.appendChild(trace);
}
This eliminates 3.
Invoke Ant programmatically, via the Java API. I can't find any recent documentation on this. This seems to be hard.
So, finally, I would do 4, a custom RunListener, using the code from XMLJUnitResultFormatter as a base. And then, I'd publish it on github.com, so this question could be answered properly :-)
