Hi,

We recently tried the junit plugin for lemoncheesecake reporting and during pip install one specific step takes more than 4 minutes everytime.

We have mentioned the requirement in the requirements.txt like below,

lemoncheesecake[junit]==1.14.3

Logs from gitlab job below,

  Building wheel for lxml (setup.py): started

140  Building wheel for lxml (setup.py): still running...

142  Building wheel for lxml (setup.py): finished with status 'done'

Hello,

Can you tell me what operating system do you use or what is the base image of the docker image (if you are using gitlab) do you use ?

Installing lxml through pip should normally retrieve an already compiled version of lxml (a wheel) and avoid a local compilation process.

Regards,

Nicolas.

Btw, I was using lxml instead of the builtin XML implementation of Python because of reasons no longer relevant with recent versions of Python.

I'll try to use this builtin implementation to get ride of lxml and avoid any possible wheel issue.

I'll keep you informed.

Best regards,

Nicolas.

Hello,

I just released lemoncheesecake 1.15.0 and it now uses the builtin Python XML support and not lxml anymore. If you upgrade to this version, you should no longer encounter the issue you reported.
