Unittest xml file not valid

[Fabian Cenedese]

Hello

I'm using pytest for testing and have it generate a unittest
xml file that can be read by Jenkins. This has worked fine
for other jobs but now I have a new job where Jenkins doesn't
like the file:

01:12:52 org.jenkinsci.plugins.xunit.service.TransformerException: The result file 'C:\Jenkins\workspace\applicationtest\applicationtest\unittest.xml' for the metric 'CppUnit' is not valid. The result file has been skipped.

However the file exists and XmlLint doesn't see a problem with it.
No un-escaped special chars or < > etc. There's a <testsuites>
tag and it just looks like other files from other jobs that work.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><testsuites><testsuite name="pytest" errors="0" failures="31" skipped="0" tests="37" time="342.813" timestamp="2022-12-07T01:07:09.246626" hostname="TestHost7"><testcase classname="tests.test_explorer.TestClass" name="test_Exp_Invisible" time="85.074"><failure message="AssertionError: assert False&#10; + where False = &lt;
...
framework\apptester.py:199: AssertionError</failure></testcase><testcase classname="tests.test_varlog.TestClass" name="test_Quit" time="0.012" /></testsuite></testsuites>

Is there a way to see what exactly it is that Jenkins doesn't like
about this file?

Thanks

The best way would be to clone the xunit plugin and feed your file as a new test case. Then you can directly see what is broken.

I found that pytest generates a JUnit format file. With JUnit as parser
insteap of CppUnit it works. So it was a user error, sorry for that.

Thanks for helping.

Ok, good to see. Then you might not need the xunit plugin at all, since the JUnit plugin supports this XML format out-of-the-box.

Hi Ullrich,

could you please help me with a question some posts older:

xunit seems to support a number of testDataPublishers where attachments() is one of them. Do you know any documentation how this works? Is it the same way it works for junit? I don't think so, otherwhise it should work for me...

Thanks in advance!

BR,

Christoph
