NAME

TAP::Formatter::JUnit - Harness output delegate for JUnit output

SYNOPSIS

On the command line, with prove:

$ prove --formatter TAP::Formatter::JUnit ...

Or, in your own scripts:

use TAP::Harness;

# What TAP output did we save from a previous run, with
# PERL_TEST_HARNESS_DUMP_TAP=tap/
my @tests = glob("tap/*.t");

# Convert the TAP to JUnit
my $harness = TAP::Harness->new( {
    formatter_class => 'TAP::Formatter::JUnit',
    merge => 1,
} );
$harness->runtests(@tests);

DESCRIPTION

This code is currently in alpha state and is subject to change.

TAP::Formatter::JUnit provides JUnit output formatting for TAP::Harness.

By default (e.g. when run with prove), the entire test suite is gathered together into a single JUnit XML document, which is then displayed on STDOUT. You can, however, have individual JUnit XML files dumped for each individual test, by setting PERL_TEST_HARNESS_DUMP_TAP to a directory that you would like the JUnit XML dumped to. Note, that this will also cause TAP::Harness to dump the original TAP output into that directory as well (but IMHO that's ok as you've now got the data in two parseable formats).

Timing information is included in the JUnit XML, if you specified --timer when you ran prove.

In standard use, a "passing TODO" is treated as failure conditions (and is reported as such in the generated JUnit). If you wish to treat these as a "pass" and not a "fail" condition, setting ALLOW_PASSING_TODOS in your environment will turn these into pass conditions.

The JUnit output generated is partial to being grokked by Hudson (http://hudson.dev.java.net/). That's the build tool I'm using at the moment and needed to be able to generate JUnit output for.

ATTRIBUTES

testsuites

List-ref of test suites that have been executed.

xml

An XML::Generator instance, to be used to generate XML output.

METHODS

open_test($test, $parser)

Over-ridden open_test() method.

Creates a TAP::Formatter::JUnit::Session session, instead of a console formatter session.

summary()

Prints the summary report (in JUnit) after all tests are run.

add_testsuite($suite)

Adds the given XML test $suite to the list of test suites that we've executed and need to summarize.
