Test Report Generation with Junit

Question

I want to do logging and Test Report Generation with Junit. Logging to a txt file i can achieve using the java logger. To achieve the reporting part, As of Junit 4 there is no such feature. I have heard with Junit 5 it should be possible to generate the test report. Could someone throw some light in to this with their experience of report generation with Junit?

Answer 1

As I mentioned in How to create an HTML report for JUnit 5 tests?, the JUnit Platform Gradle Plugin and ConsoleLauncher already generate JUnit 4 style XML reports.

This is done by the XmlReportWriter which is used by the XmlReportsWritingListener. The latter is simply an implementation of TestExecutionListener.

So, if you want to generate custom reports, you can simply implement your own TestExecutionListener and take inspiration from the XmlReportWriter and XmlReportsWritingListener.
