NAME

TAP::Harness::JUnit - Generate JUnit compatible output from TAP results

SYNOPSIS

    use TAP::Harness::JUnit;
    my $harness = TAP::Harness::JUnit->new({
        xmlfile => 'output.xml',
        ...
    });
    $harness->runtests(@tests);

DESCRIPTION

The only difference between this module and TAP::Harness is that this adds mandatory 'xmlfile' argument, that causes the output to be formatted into XML in format similar to one that is produced by JUnit testing framework.

METHODS

This modules inherits all functions from TAP::Harness.

new

These options are added (compared to TAP::Harness):

xmlfile

Name of the file XML output will be saved to.

SEE ALSO

JUnit XML schema was obtained from http://jra1mw.cvs.cern.ch:8180/cgi-bin/jra1mw.cgi/org.glite.testing.unit/config/JUnitXSchema.xsd?view=markup.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This module was partly inspired by Michael Peters' TAP::Harness::Archive.

BUGS

Test return value is ignored. This is actually not a bug, TAP::Parser doesn't present the fact and TAP specification does not require that anyway.

Note that this may be a problem when running Test::More tests with no_plan, since it will add a plan matching the number of tests actually run even in case the test dies. No not do that -- always write a plan! In case it's not possible, pass merge argument when creating a TAP::Harness::JUnit instance, and the harness will detect such failures by matching certain comments.

Test durations are always set to 0 seconds.

The comments that are above the ok or not ok are considered the output of the test. This, though being more logical, is against TAP specification.

XML::Simple is used to generate the output. It is suboptimal and involves some hacks.
