Solution

  • TAP::Formatter::JUnit has tap2junit command that convert TAP format text into JUnit XML. All you have to do is to create a filter that can read your test result and convert it to TAP format, just like:

    custom2tap.pl

    #!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my @t;
while (my $line = <STDIN>) {
    $line =~ s/\R//;

    if (my ($msg, $result) = $line =~ /^(.*?)\s*(PASSED|FAILED)$/) {
        if ($result eq 'PASSED') {
            push @t, ['ok' => $msg];
        }
        elsif ($result eq 'FAILED') {
            push @t, ['not ok' => $msg];
        }
    }

}

die "No test" if @t == 0;
printf "1..%d\n", scalar @t;

for my $i (0 .. $#t) {
    printf "%s %d - %s\n", $t[$i]->[0], $i + 1, $t[$i]->[1];
}

1;

    Save your test result as customtest.txt then run cat customtest.txt | perl custom2tap.pl | tap2junit -, you can have following output:

    <testsuites>
  <testsuite failures="1" errors="0" name="-" tests="3">
    <testcase name="1 - abc.msg">
      <failure message="not ok 1 - abc.msg"
               type="TestFailed"><![CDATA[not ok 1 - abc.msg]]></failure>
    </testcase>
    <testcase name="2 - aa.msg"></testcase>
    <testcase name="3 - bb.msg"></testcase>
    <system-out><![CDATA[1..3
not ok 1 - abc.msg
ok 2 - aa.msg
ok 3 - bb.msg
]]></system-out>
    <system-err></system-err>
  </testsuite>
</testsuites>

    Windows

    Install Strawberry Perl, so that you can use cpan command.

    Install TAP::Formatter::JUnit from command prompt:

    > cpan -i TAP::Formatter::JUnit

    Run type customtest.txt | perl custom2tap.pl | tap2junit -
