Question

I have a project ASP.NET core which I integrate unit test with xUnit , Everything work fine but I want to genrate xml report test to integrate in jenkins . Any help please :)

My project.json is :

{
  "version": "1.0.0-*",
  "testRunner": "xunit",
  "dependencies": {
    "xunit": "2.2.0-beta2-build3300",
    "Microsoft.NETCore.App": "1.1.0",
    "dotnet-test-xunit": "2.2.0-preview2-build1029"
  },
  "frameworks": {
    "netcoreapp1.0": {
      "dependencies": {
      }
    }
  },
  "runtimes": {
    "ubuntu.16.04-x64": {},
    "win10-x64": {},
    "debian.8-x64": {},
    "win81-x64": {}
  }

Is your xUnit framework is generating xml reports for the tests or not? – Fabiola

I don't know how make xUnit generate xml reports this is my question in .NET core – Tod

Answer 1

I find the solution , just add -xml ./path/out.xml . It seems like this :

dotnet test ./WebApi.Tests/ -xml ./WebApi.Tests/out.xml

how did you find this switch? it appears to be undocumented? when you do a dotnet test --help it doesn't give you any "help" about outputting results. – Penal

I finded in another issue in github by luck . Yes It's not documented unfortunately – Tod

The support for -xml switch has been dropped in more recent versions of msbuild github.com/dotnet/cli/issues/3114 although you can now output to trx using the --logger:trx switch (as described github.com/dotnet/cli/pull/5181), but I'm now unsure how to get that showing in Jenkins – Reparative

One way to do it: add " --logger=trx" to the "dotnet test" command and then use the build step "Process xUnit test result report" from the "xUnit plugin". Use the option "MSTest-Version N/A (default) Pattern" and set pattern to "*/.trx". – Amar

This is the answer! – Stannary

Answer 2

Old thread but can be useful. In .Net Core 3.1 you can use --logger html to get a read friendly report. dotnet test --logger html

Using:

.Net Core 3.1,
Xunit 2.4.1

Answer 3

I had the same issue in .NET Core 2.0 and dotnet test does not have a -xml switch. So, I relied on a custom logger to do the job:

1. add NunitXml.TestLogger package to the test project

2. Run tests using this logger:

   dotnet test "project.csproj" --no-build --verbosity normal --logger:"nunit;LogFilePath=xunit_results.xml"
   

The output is compatible with NUnit results and be used to generate fancy reports like those obtained using ReportUnit.

The result obtained using that method is null. This returns to me : <test-run id="2" duration="0" testcasecount="0" total="0" passed="0" failed="0" inconclusive="0" skipped="0" result="Passed" start-time="2019-07-24T 23:07:55Z" end-time="2019-07-24T 23:08:15Z"/> – Placia
