Rex Hoffman commented on SUREFIRE-737:
--------------------------------------
I have seen no evidence of a schema for junit xml reports, some generate
properties, some don't, but I don't believe there is an official xsd or dtd for
it. I saw some emails detailing a few attempts at standardizing (a relaxng
schema that didn't seem to go anywhere).
Primary reason for doing this is to support the extra data generated by testng.
Extra information like the annotation attached to a test, or the test data
passed to a test are pretty valuable for test result reports.
Current maven surefire report plugin only reads the junitreport.xml format.
Testng has their own support for generating the junit xml report, via a
Listener (testng's primary extension point).
The maven implementation of the same thing (to generate reports) is written
using a listener that writes out as each test completes, preventing any
interesting attachment of data. The testng implementation writes out at the
end of processing, allowing devs to attach extra info to a test pretty easily.
I did this for selenium screen shots. Wrote the screenshot to a uniquely named
file in a "content" folder that sat under the junitreports folder. I then
included a image tag in the report.
Rather than generating a testng report, or copying the surefire report plugin
to support the extra info, it seemed reasonable to have surefire reports simply
add extra lines to the report based on any extra info in the junit report, if
no one uses it, no harm is done, but I'm pretty sure people will use this
mechanism.
If this is unreasonable, I'm open to putting in effort to generate a solution
that can make it into the report plugin.
