There are a number of external tools that produce results in JUnit XML and which can be called from Gradle. One example being

terraform test -junit-xml

. What I would like to do is to convert those XML files into HTML reports that look-and-feel the same as the ones generated by

Test

tasks. Does anyone know whether that can be achieved with what we have available in the Gradle API today (7.3+)?

the somewhat new Test Reporting API can do that - https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/test_reporting_api.html

Thanks. I'll have a look

correction about failures: it does not need an in-JVM exception type, but it will always wrap it with a

new Throwable()

constructed at the report time, which will be confusing

This means one has to parse the JUnit XML report manually and call the reporting API for each test result, right?

correct

Has somebody maybe implemented such a parser already?

we have 😛 reporting code is here - https://github.com/emulator-wtf/gradle-plugin/blob/main/gradle-compat-8-13/src/main/java/wtf/emulator/GradleCompat_8_13.java relevant junit parser code is here - https://github.com/emulator-wtf/gradle-plugin/tree/main/gradle-compat-api/src/main/java/wtf/emulator/junit

A not-incubating way would be to have a JUnit engine that parses the file and reports through JUnit platform.
