What is minitest?
minitest is a testing framework for Ruby.
Enabling XML Output
minitest can be configured to produce JUnit XML output by installing the minitest Ruby gem.
1gem install minitest
Then require and enable the minitest gem in your test code like this:
1# mixer.rb2require 'minitest/autorun'3require 'minitest/reporters'4Minitest::Reporters.use! Minitest::Reporters::JUnitReporter.new('ruby/minitest/results', write_files: true)56class ColorMixerTest < Minitest::Test7 def test_red_and_blue8 mixer = ColorMixer.new9 assert mixer.mix('red', 'blue') == 'purple'10 end11end
Run it with bundle exec ruby ruby/minitest/mixer.rb and it will produce output that looks like this:
1<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>2<testsuites>3 <testsuite name="ColorMixerTest" filepath="ruby/minitest/mixer.rb" skipped="0" failures="0" errors="0" tests="3" assertions="3" time="1.7999904230237007e-05">4 <testcase name="test_red_and_yellow"5 lineno="12"6 classname="ColorMixerTest"7 assertions="1"8 time="1.0999967344105244e-05"9 file="ruby/minitest/mixer.rb">10 </testcase>11 </testsuite>12</testsuites>13
Test Suite naming
The output file can be configured where you require minitest and use the JUnitReporter. The first argument to the constructor sets the output file.
1Minitest::Reporters.use! Minitest::Reporters::JUnitReporter2 .new('ruby/minitest/results', write_files: true)
Handling Retries
minitest has an optional gem, minitest-optional_retry to automatically retry tests.
Other Configuration
See an example of using minitest in a GitHub action here.
