xUnit

This plugin publishes test results of an execution of a testing tool in Jenkins.

Features

  • Records xUnit tests
  • Mark the build unstable or fail according to threshold values

Supported tools

Embedded tools

Other plugins as an extension of the xUnit plugin:

External contributions

For each xUnit tool, an embedded style sheet is used. However, the plugin also enables you to use a custom style sheet for your own tool such as :

Configuration

Job Configuration

  • Execute your testing tools manually or as a step of your build chain
  • Give a pattern that specifies your test results

Provide User XSL

If you want to customise how a input report is transformed to a JUnit report of an existing tool type; xUnit provides a way to use your own XSL if placed at specific path. Specify your XSLs in the JENKINS_HOME/userContent directory with the following convention:

$JENKINS_HOME/userContent/xunit/[toolName]/[version]/[any_name].xsl

For example:

$JENKINS_HOME/userContent/xunit/AUnit/3.x/aunit-to-junit.xsl

Note: The tool name and the version are taken from the label in the combo box from the UI. If the tool doesn't have a version (N/A), do not create a version directory.

Custom Tool for unsupported formats

XUnit supports a large number of report format, but not all. For unsupported report type an user could provide an own stylesheet that convert the original report into a supported JUnit report.

When choose the "Custom Tool" as tool type a path to the user XSL must be provided. The path is relative and the plugin lookup the provided relative path using the following priority:

  1. on Jenkins controller
  2. on Jenkins agent
  3. relative to workspace

You could also provide an URL to the stylesheet. If the XSL file is placed in the $JENKINS_HOME/userContent folder, the file will be available under the URL http(s)://$JENKINS_URL/userContent/<xsl file>

Publish test result checks

This feature requires:

When enabled in the job configuration, this plugin will publish test results to GitHub through GitHub checks API. In the Details view of each check, test results will be displayed.

In order to enable the checks feature, set the property skipPublishingChecks to false The plugin will default to using the stage name or branch of a parallel step prepended by Tests for the checks name. If there are no enclosing stages or branches, Tests will be used. The name can also be overridden by a withChecks step.

The following snippet would publish three checks with the names Tests / Integration, Tests and Integration Tests, respectively.

stage('Integration') {
  xunit (tools: [ BoostTest(pattern: 'integration/*.xml') ], skipPublishingChecks: false)
}
// no stage at all
xunit (tools: [ BoostTest(pattern: 'boost/*.xml') ], skipPublishingChecks: false)

stage('Ignored') {
  withChecks('Integration Tests') {
    xunit (tools: [ MSTest(pattern: '**/*.trx') ], skipPublishingChecks: false)
  }
}

xUnit Architecture

Global Architecture

When this plugin is installed and configured, Jenkins can transform test result reports produced by different testing tools into JUnit test result format. The JUnit tests can then be recorded by Jenkins. Jenkins can provide useful information about test results, such as the historical test result trend, web UI for viewing test reports, tracking failures, and so on.

Under the hood, xUnit Jenkins plugin delegates processing to DTKit.

Working with Pipelines

It is also possible to set an xUnit configuration in a pipeline job, but is somewhat more verbose.

For example, creating a boost pipeline (declarative) with the same configuration as above would be:

Example of pipeline

pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage('Test'){
            steps {
                sh "run_tests.bash"
            }
        }
    }
    post {
        always{
            xunit (
                thresholds: [ skipped(failureThreshold: '0'), failed(failureThreshold: '0') ],
                tools: [ BoostTest(pattern: 'boost/*.xml') ]
            )
        }
    }
 }

Version 2.0.0

Breaking Changes

I have introduce some schemas validation becase the large number of issues opened to xUnit plugin. Those issues are caused by custom attributes or XML DOM in the report generated by some user/tools report logger also if they declare to produce a valid report file. This cause me to spend a lot of time to investigate what is right and what is wrong and how to implement the XSL without it goes in error during transformation.

In case you are using a non java tools that declares to produce a JUnit compatible report, ensure the report respects one of the widely used supported schemas. If not than select as test type the build step "Custom Tool" and use this XSL as described here. The XSL is provided AS IS without any support.

  • NUnit 2.x (2.0 - 2.6) schema validation from official distribution.

In case you are using a tools that declares to produce a NUnit 2 compatible report, ensure the report respects the official schemas. If not than select as test type the build step "Custom Tool" and provide a XSL as described here.
