Pabot: Jenkins plugin and noncritical parameter problem

[r...@ncdc.pl]

Hi,

We are about to use Pabot to execute our regression tests using Jenkins plugin where the main test condition is to use --noncritical parameter.
The problem is that Jenkins is taking the output.xml file as a base to populate test results. Pabot while merging results using the '_report_results' function from pabot.py does not pass 'options' value into 'merge' method. That means we are loosing our 'non_critical' tag in the output.xml file so Jenkins doesn't show them.

For now we have done our little fix in the '_report_results' function in order to regenerate the output.xml file:

def _report_results(outs_dir, options, start_time_string):
    new_output_path = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(options.get('outputdir', '.'), options.get('output', 'output.xml')))
    output_path = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(options.get('outputdir', '.'), options.get('output', 'merge_output.xml')))
    merge(*sorted(glob(os.path.join(outs_dir, '**/*.xml')))).save(output_path)
    print 'Output_rob:  %s' % output_path
    #options['output'] = None # Do not write output again with rebot
    options['output'] = new_output_path # Do not write output again with rebot
    return rebot(output_path, **_options_for_rebot(options, start_time_string, _now()))


If there is no other dependencies can You please add similar solution to Pabot code so we can use it without our funny hack?

Thanks for the debugging!

I'll try to get a new version out soon.
