Generating report not working with output from allure-phpunit (version attibute problem)

[OndraM]

Hi,
when generating report with allure based on output files from allure-phpunit adapter, allure fails with some XSLT errors. I suspect the allure-phpunit as a cause, because when using files generated from junit example project, the report generating works.

Steps to reproduce:

1. install allure from https://github.com/allure-framework/allure-cli-zip/releases (I tried both 1.3.9 and 2.0 versions - there is no difference)
2. clone allure-phpunit-example
3. run ./vendor/bin/phpunit in allure-phpunit-example to generate output
4. run allure /tmp/allure-phpunit-example/allure-report-data/
5. generating fails:

/tmp/allure-phpunit-example $ allure /tmp/allure-phpunit-example/allure-report-data/

I discovered that the version attribute in the XML generated by allure-phpunit adapted is causing the problem:

<alr:test-suite xmlns:alr="urn:model.allure.qatools.yandex.ru" start="1407619730453" stop="1407619746445" version="1.4.0">

If i remove the version attribute, the report generating works fine.

This is because PHPUnit was from the beginning implemented for Allure 1.4.0. Allure CLI for compatibility reasons is by default using version 1.3.9 of the report. So to make it work you need to explicitly specify any 1.4.x version of Allure (in fact chances are very high that 1.4.0.RC9 is the final 1.4.0 release), e.g.:

$ allure -v 1.4.0.RC9 path/to/xml

Does it help?

Added a small note about version to README.md.

Thanks for help, it is working like this. I actually tried using -v 1.4.0 before reporting the issue, but it was not working (for obvious reasons), so I was a bit confused.
