Using gtest in jenkins

Question

I successfully run my unit test with google test in Jenkins, but I don\'t know how to show the .xml file generated by gtest. It is said that gtest satisfies the JUnit format

Answer 1

Fraser's answer is good and you need some extra processing to convert the gtest XML to proper JTest format.

First you ask gtest to output the result to XML using:

mygtestapp --gtest_output=xml:gtestresults.xml

Then in a script you need to add extra elements to properly flag skipped tests as such. Jenkin's JTest processor requires that a skipped test contains the element and not just setting status to "notrun":

awk '{ if ($1 == ""; else print $0;}' gtestresults.xml > gtestresults-skipped.xml
mv gtestresults.xml gtestresults.off

If running this on a windows batch file, put the awk action inside a file to avoid problems with the quotes. awk.progfile:

{ if ($1 == ""; else print $0;}

And create add in your bat file:

awk -f awk.progfile gtestresults.xml > gtestresults-skipped.xml

Lastly you point the JTest processor as a Post-Build step to read the converted XML:

# Publish JUnit Test Result Report
Test Report XMLs: gtestresults-skipped.xml
