XSLT compile error

[fernando guallini]

Hi,

I am trying to get test results reports using nunit-dream xslt template. But, I getting the following error sending xslt template as a parameter:

"XSLT compile error"

Call to specflow.exe:

specflow.exe nunitexecutionreport myProject.csproj  /out:TestResult/MyResult.html  /xsltFile:ExecutionReport.xslt /xmlTestResult:TestResult/TestResult.xml

I found this post asking the same, but it hasn't helped me

I'm having the same issue as yourself. Paths are all correct, dependencies are included, still no luck. If the error was more verbose, then that would be helpful! VS 2015 / SpecFlow 2.0

Clearly, I was making sloppy mistakes yesterday. I fixed the issue and it was entirely my fault. In my FAKE file (F# Make) I was pointing at my tools directory instead of my test directory. Silly, silly.

So, to confirm the requirements for any future readers:

1. Create a `Reporting` folder somewhere in your source.
2. Copy the `NUnitExecutionReport.xslt` from SpecFlow source to `Reporting/NUnitExecutionReport/`
3. Copy the `Common.xslt`, `GherkinElements.xslt`, `Languages.xml` from SpecFlow source to `Reporting/Common/`
4. Run `specflow.exe "nunitexecutionreport" "<path-to-csproj-file>" "/out:SpecFlowResult.html" "/xmlTestResult:<path-to-NUnit-xml-result-file>" "/testOutput:<path-to-NUnit-txt-result-file>" "/xsltFile:<path-to-custom-xslt-file>"

You could try checking for ampersands in any of your parent folders - that was the cause for me!
