XML Output

[stephenfin]

This is part-question, part-feature request.

Does OFTest support some form of XML-based output, or something easily parsed by machines. I'm interested in using it with Jenkins, but as it stands I'll need manual parsing rules to check for ok/fail conditions.

OFTest doesn't currently support this but I'd be happy to accept a patch for it.

Ok. Looks easy enough to do with the xmlrunner package. I'll have a look. Some questions first though, if you could answer them:

• Should I enable it by default?
• If so, where should I store them? test-results is a common dir for said package. Should I store this as a subdir in log_dir, perhaps?
• Do settings above belong in the Logging options group of options, or a new Output options group?

[rlane]

Let's not enable it by default if it would introduce a new package dependency. What format does Jenkins expect the XML output in? One file per test, or a single file for all tests? You can use the Logging options group.

(1) Sounds fair.
(2) I'm not certain. Sites like this would suggest the latter. I'll try my solution on CloudBees first?
(3) OK.
