What is the JUnit XML format specification that Hudson supports?

I have Hudson as continuous integration server and I want to use option 'Publish JUnit test result report'. But I don't use xUnit too开发者_如何学运维ls for testing, instead of that i have shell scripts which run tests and return results in simple format. I am thinking to make a script which transforms these results to the JUnit format. So i'm interesting how the JUnit file must look?


I did a similar thing a few months ago, and it turned out this simple format was enough for Hudson to accept it as a test protocol:

<testsuite tests="3">
    <testcase classname="foo1" name="ASuccessfulTest"/>
    <testcase classname="foo2" name="AnotherSuccessfulTest"/>
    <testcase classname="foo3" name="AFailingTest">
        <failure type="NotEnoughFoo"> details about failure </failure>
    </testcase>
</testsuite>

This question has answers with more details: Spec. for JUnit XML Output


I just grabbed the junit-4.xsd that others have linked to and used a tool named XMLSpear to convert the schema to a blank XML file with the options shown below. This is the (slightly cleaned up) result:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<testsuites disabled="" errors="" failures="" name="" tests="" time="">
    <testsuite disabled="" errors="" failures="" hostname="" id=""
               name="" package="" skipped="" tests="" time="" timestamp="">
        <properties>
            <property name="" value=""/>
        </properties>
        <testcase assertions="" classname="" name="" status="" time="">
            <skipped/>
            <error message="" type=""/>
            <failure message="" type=""/>
            <system-out/>
            <system-err/>
        </testcase>
        <system-out/>
        <system-err/>
    </testsuite>
</testsuites>

Some of these items can occur multiple times:

  • There can only be one testsuites element, since that’s how XML works, but there can be multiple testsuite elements within the testsuites element.
  • Each properties element can have multiple property children.
  • Each testsuite element can have multiple testcase children.
  • Each testcase element can have multiple error, failure, system-out, or system-err children.

What is the JUnit XML format specification that Hudson supports?


The top answer of the question Anders Lindahl refers to an xsd file.

Personally I found this xsd file also very useful (I don't remember how I found that one). It looks a bit less intimidating, and as far as I used it, all the elements and attributes seem to be recognized by Jenkins (v1.451)

One thing though: when adding multiple <failure ... elements, only one was retained in Jenkins. When creating the xml file, I now concatenate all the failures in one.


Update 2016-11 The link is broken now. A better alternative is this page from cubic.org: JUnit XML reporting file format, where a nice effort has been taken to provide a sensible documented example. Example and xsd are copied below, but their page looks waay nicer.

I couldn't find any good information on this, so I did some trial and error. The following attributes and fields (and only these) are recognized by Jenkins (v1.585).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<testsuite>

  <!-- if your classname does not include a dot, the package defaults to "(root)" -->
  <testcase name="my testcase" classname="my package.my classname" time="29">

    <!-- If the test didn't pass, specify ONE of the following 3 cases -->

    <!-- option 1 --> <skipped />
    <!-- option 2 --> <failure message="my failure message">my stack trace</failure>
    <!-- option 3 --> <error message="my error message">my crash report</error>

    <system-out>my STDOUT dump</system-out>

    <system-err>my STDERR dump</system-err>

  </testcase>

</testsuite>

(I started with this sample XML document and worked backwards from there.)


I've decided to post a new answer, because some existing answers are outdated or incomplete.

First of all: there is nothing like JUnit XML Format Specification, simply because JUnit doesn't produce any kind of XML or HTML report.

The XML report generation itself comes from the Ant JUnit task/ Maven Surefire Plugin/ Gradle (whichever you use for running your tests). The XML report format was first introduced by Ant and later adapted by Maven (and Gradle).

If somebody just needs an official XML format then:

  1. There exists a schema for a maven surefire-generated XML report and it can be found here: surefire-test-report.xsd.
  2. For an ant-generated XML there is a 3rd party schema available here (but it might be slightly outdated).

Hope it will help somebody.


Basic Structure Here is an example of a JUnit output file, showing a skip and failed result, as well as a single passed result.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<testsuites>
   <testsuite name="JUnitXmlReporter" errors="0" tests="0" failures="0" time="0" timestamp="2013-05-24T10:23:58" />
   <testsuite name="JUnitXmlReporter.constructor" errors="0" skipped="1" tests="3" failures="1" time="0.006" timestamp="2013-05-24T10:23:58">
      <properties>
         <property name="java.vendor" value="Sun Microsystems Inc." />
         <property name="compiler.debug" value="on" />
         <property name="project.jdk.classpath" value="jdk.classpath.1.6" />
      </properties>
      <testcase classname="JUnitXmlReporter.constructor" name="should default path to an empty string" time="0.006">
         <failure message="test failure">Assertion failed</failure>
      </testcase>
      <testcase classname="JUnitXmlReporter.constructor" name="should default consolidate to true" time="0">
         <skipped />
      </testcase>
      <testcase classname="JUnitXmlReporter.constructor" name="should default useDotNotation to true" time="0" />
   </testsuite>
</testsuites>

Below is the documented structure of a typical JUnit XML report. Notice that a report can contain 1 or more test suite. Each test suite has a set of properties (recording environment information). Each test suite also contains 1 or more test case and each test case will either contain a skipped, failure or error node if the test did not pass. If the test case has passed, then it will not contain any nodes. For more details of which attributes are valid for each node please consult the following section "Schema".

<testsuites>        => the aggregated result of all junit testfiles
  <testsuite>       => the output from a single TestSuite
    <properties>    => the defined properties at test execution
      <property>    => name/value pair for a single property
      ...
    </properties>
    <error></error> => optional information, in place of a test case - normally if the tests in the suite could not be found etc.
    <testcase>      => the results from executing a test method
      <system-out>  => data written to System.out during the test run
      <system-err>  => data written to System.err during the test run
      <skipped/>    => test was skipped
      <failure>     => test failed
      <error>       => test encountered an error
    </testcase>
    ...
  </testsuite>
  ...
</testsuites>


There are multiple schemas for "JUnit" and "xUnit" results.

  • XSD for Apache Ant's JUnit output can be found at : https://github.com/windyroad/JUnit-Schema (credit goes to this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4926073/1733117)
  • XSD from Jenkins xunit-plugin can be found at : https://github.com/jenkinsci/xunit-plugin/tree/master/src/main/resources/org/jenkinsci/plugins/xunit/types (under model/xsd)

Please note that there are several versions of the schema in use by the Jenkins xunit-plugin (the current latest version is junit-10.xsd which adds support for Erlang/OTP Junit format).

Some testing frameworks as well as "xUnit"-style reporting plugins also use their own secret sauce to generate "xUnit"-style reports, those may not use a particular schema (please read: they try to but the tools may not validate against any one schema). Python unittests in Jenkins? gives a quick comparison of several of these libraries and slight differences between the xml reports generated.


Good answers here on using python: (there are many ways to do it) Python unittests in Jenkins?

IMHO the best way is write python unittest tests and install pytest (something like 'yum install pytest') to get py.test installed. Then run tests like this: 'py.test --junitxml results.xml test.py'. You can run any unittest python script and get jUnit xml results.

https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/unittest.html

In jenkins build configuration Post-build actions Add a "Publish JUnit test result report" action with result.xml and any more test result files you produce.
