Spec. for JUnit XML Output

Question

Where can I find the specification of JUnit's XML output. My goal is to write a UnitTest++ XML reporter which produced JUnit like output.

See: "Unable to get hudson to parse JUnit test output XML" and "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/411218/hudson-c-and-unittest"

Answer 1

I can only give you an general information.

In the sourcecode of JUnit, you will find your information. If you provide some more information, I can help you further. My personal hint for finding your specification would be junit.framework.TestResult.

Good luck!

Answer 2

I found some informal spec at http://ant.1045680.n5.nabble.com/schema-for-junit-xml-output-td1375274.html

Answer 3

The xml output is not generated by JUnit (at least, not the junit.jar), but by the junit ant task.
The relevant class is org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.XMLJUnitResultFormatter.

Answer 4

As others have mentioned the xml is handled by ANT not jUnit

Here's the best spec I've seen. From this post
