Junit Viewer is a very simple yet powerful way of viewing your xunit results
Reads a file or folder (and all sub folders) of XML results Hence you don't need to run this on separate files
Has it's own API Now you can embed it in your own test runners in order to save the results in a quick and nice viewer
Single Page Results You don't need to have a whole folder of files in order to view your results (trke all other junit viewers)
Shows HTML output This tool will show HTML in your test messages, meaning it is a great test snapshot tool to show images
Using Express to start a server Means you can just hit refresh and you have your latest tests instead of re-running Junit Viewer
Search It comes with a search box so you can search your suites and tests and test messages but also properties, it uses matching similar to Sublime e.g 'HW' would match against 'HelloWorld' (so would 'hw') and you can also search using regex e.g. 'h(.*)' would match against 'HelloWorld' or you can use a glob search e.g. '*world' would match against 'hello world'
Skeleton It uses Skeleton so it is pretty, responsive and quick
Quick It uses mustache and has no jquery as such it is quicker than any other junit test viewer
Independent It is independent of any testing tool, so it can work with anything which can produce junit results
Contracted View It provides a contracted default view for all suits at startup
npm install junit-viewer -g
If you just want to log to the terminal
junit-viewer --results=file_or_folder_location
By default it will just set the results folder to the current directory so you could just run
junit-viewer
If you want to save it to a file
junit-viewer --results=file_or_folder_location --save=file_location.html
If you want to start a server
junit-viewer --results=file_or_folder_location --port=port_number
By default it is minified but if you don't want it minified
junit-viewer --results=file_or_folder_location --minify=false
By default it displays expanded view of suits
junit-viewer --results=file_or_folder_location --contracted
npm install --save-dev junit-viewer
var jv = require('junit-viewer')
var parsedData = jv.parse('fileOrFolderLocation')
// var parsedData = jv.parseXML('xml data')
var renderedData = jv.render(parsedData)
var parsedAndRenderedData = jv.junit_viewer('fileOrFolderLocation')
Using Junit Viewer's very own unit tests (using a single file result)
Using Junit Viewer's very own unit tests (using a folder of results)
You can also run junit_viewer in the browser. To make this work, you need to bundle the junit_viewer API using a suitable tool.
In this example, I am using browserify but webpack etc. should work just fine as well.
Create a file for setting up the bundle:
bundle_setup.js
var viewer = require('./junit_viewer');
window.JUnitViewer = viewer;
Install some dependancies:
npm install -g browserify
npm install brfs --save
Make the bundle:
browserify bundle_setup.js -o junit-viewer-bundle.js -t brfs
Now you can use the bundle in HTML. In this example, I am putting the rendered output into an iframe. Replace with the content of the xml for the test output:
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
<title>JUnit test results</title>
<script src="junit-viewer-bundle.js"></script>
<style>
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
margin: 0;
}
html,
body,
#results {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<iframe id="results"></iframe>
<script>
try {
var xmlResults = "<!--XMLString-->";
var parsedResults = JUnitViewer.parseXML(xmlResults);
var renderedData = JUnitViewer.render(parsedResults);
document.getElementById('results').contentWindow.document.write(renderedData);
} catch (e) {
alert('Error: ' + e.toString() + ' - ' + e.stack);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
If you wish to contribute then you can either create an issue or fork it and create a PR
When developing all you need to do is
npm i
And to run the tests
npm test
The testing strategy is an integration test and not a conventional unit test
