collective.xmltestreport 1.2.1

A test runner which can output an XML report compatible with JUnit and Hudson

Introduction

This package provides an extension to the test runner to the one that ships with zope.testrunner, as well as a buildout recipe based on zc.recipe.testrunner to install a test script for this test runner.

The test runner is identical to the one in zope.testrunner, but it is capable of writing test reports in the XML format output by JUnit/Ant. This allows the test results to be analysed by tools such as the Hudson continuous integration server.

Usage

In your buildout, add a part like this:

[buildout]
parts =
    ...
    test

...

[test]
recipe = collective.xmltestreport
eggs =
    my.package
defaults = ['--auto-color', '--auto-progress']

The recipe accepts the same options as zc.recipe.testrunner, so look at its documentation for details.

When buildout is run, you should have a script in bin/test and a directory parts/test.

To run the tests, use the bin/test script. If you pass the --xml option, test reports will be written to parts/test/testreports directory:

$ bin/test --xml -s my.package

Use bin/test --help for a full list of options.

If you are using Hudson, you can now configure the build to publish JUnit test reports for <buildoutdir>/parts/test/testreports/*.xml.

Changelog

1.2.1 (2011-02-03)

• Fixed IndexError in formatter which could occur when the path of the current working directory was part of the path + file name of the doctest file but shorter.

1.2 (2011-01-27)

• Added support for Manuel tests. It gets activated when the package under test has tests using manuel and this way depends on manuel. [icemac]

1.1 (2011-01-20)

• Require zope.testrunner and remove support for zope.testing 3.7. [hannosch]

• Added support for zope.testrunner while retaining support for the older zope.testing.testrunner. [hannosch]

• No longer use the deprecated zope.testing.doctest. [hannosch]

• Distribution metadata cleanup. [hannosch]

• Use built-in xml.etree in favor of elementree in Python 2.5+ and added missing dependency on zc.recipe.egg. [multani]

1.0b3 (2010-06-07)

• Rename the -x option --xml. This is necessary by zope.testing now uses the -x option for something else. :-(
