XML output should match the junitreport Ant task #114
Description
Currently, the XML output mode for the --gtest_output switch produces a single
XML file
containing all testsuites and testcase results. Such a file cannot be
correctly parsed by some CI
servers, namely Hudson. Issue #77 erroneously blames gtest's XML formatting
for this bug, but
the actual cause of this problem is that Hudson expects to parse JUnit results
as one XML file per
class.
I wrote a perl script to break apart the XML output generated by gtest into
individual files, and
called it from ant in hudson. Doing this fixes the issue, which serves as a
workaround (I've also
attached the script to this report).
It would be nice if the gtest_output switch could perhaps include support for
writing individual
XML output files. Perhaps this could be done either with
"gtest_output:xmldir", or by parsing the
argument given here to see if it refers to an existing directory (though this
would probably be
confusing).
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Generate XML output using --gtest_output:xml
2. Configure hudson project to parse JUnit results with this file
3. Hudson then complains that "None of the test reports contained any result"
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.2.1
