Processing test json data

[vedu...@gmail.com]

I see that in go1.10, we can have json formatted "go test" output (by using -json flag)

I googled around, but couldn't find a simple way/tool to convert it to junitxml format

Any suggestions?

Will this help? https://github.com/aaronbriel/jsonjunit

I haven't tried it but piping the json output to jsonjunit can help.

Thanks, I hadnt tried this as this seemed to be meant for mocha testing framework. Let me check

The JSON output used by go test -json is defined in:

https://golang.org/cmd/test2json/

Converting to junitxml should be trivial.

Each entry, excluding the last, can be mapped to a testcase xml element, and the last entry to a testsuite xml element (since it reports the total elapsed time).

If more than one package is tested, things are e bit more complex.

One unfortunate thing is that the TestEvent type does not have a name/description/label/comment field to record the optional comment of the test function.

The name/description/label/comment can be mapped to the name attribute of the testcase xml element.
