how can i create a html report for the junit xml report manually? - html

Question

I have run junit and it shows the results in Junit console, then i do a export of the result, it is saved as some test.xml. now i want to generate a html report out of it how do i do it ? MY project is complex and i cant do as a normal
<target name ="test" depends="run-tests">
<junitreport todir="${reports}">
<fileset dir="${reports}/raw/">
<include name="TEST-*.xml"/>
</fileset>
<report format="frames" todir="${reports}\html\"/>
</junitreport>
</target>
anybody any tool that can be used to convert the results in xml to a html format.

Answer 1

Given just the junit xml file (and python) you can convert the xml junit report file into a single self-contained HTML file using junit2html. https://github.com/inorton/junit2html
I had wanted a tool that does this for quite a long time so finally sat down the other day and had a go. It is pure python so should work on any platform as a stand-alone tool.

Answer 2

Not 100% sure what you're asking but heck here's my ant code for doing a JUnit batch test then a HTML report using the XML formatter...
<junit showoutput="on" printsummary="on" fork="false" haltonfailure="false"
failureproperty="unittest.failure">
<classpath>
<pathelement path="${build.classpath}"/>
<pathelement path="${classes}"/>
</classpath>
<batchtest todir="${unittests.results}">
<fileset dir="${classes}">
<include name="${batchtest.prefix}#{test}_test.class" />
</fileset>
<formatter type="xml"/>
</batchtest>
</junit>
<junitreport todir="${unittests.results}">
<fileset dir="${unittests.results}"/>
<report todir="${unittests.results}"/>
</junitreport>
note that the #{test} is because its part of a macrodef within the build.xml file.
From what you said in the question, its unsure if you're using the <formatter type="xml">.
Anyway hope that helps
oh and dont mix your slashes ${reports}\html\" > ${reports}/html/"
