This document explains how to configure GoogleTest to output JUnit XML reports that can be uploaded to Trunk for analysis. ## Setup steps Work through the steps below in order. Once you've finished the last one, you'll be ready to move on to [configure uploads in CI](../ci-providers/). Generate a compatible test report} /> Configure the report file path or glob} /> Disable retries for better detection accuracy} /> Test uploads locally} /> ## Generating Reports Before you can integrate with Trunk, you need to generate a Trunk-compatible report. For GoogleTest, the built in XML reporter will work. You can use the [`--gtest_output=xml`](https://google.github.io/googletest/advanced.html#generating-an-xml-report) argument when you run your built test project: ```shell theme={null} ./build/run_test --gtest_output=xml ``` ### Report File Path By default, the JUnit report will be written to a `test_detail.xml` file. You can specify a custom directory and filename with: ```bash theme={null} --gtest_output=xml: ``` For example, the following argument writes a JUnit report to `./junit.xml`: ```bash theme={null} --gtest_output=xml:junit.xml ``` ### Disable Retries You need to disable automatic retries if you previously enabled them. Retries compromise the accurate detection of flaky tests. Omit the[ ](https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/how-to/cache.html)[`--gtest_repeat`](https://google.github.io/googletest/advanced.html#repeating-the-tests) argument if you've previously configured your CI with these options to disable retries. ## Try It Locally ### The Validate Command ```bash Linux (x64) theme={null} SKU="trunk-analytics-cli-x86_64-unknown-linux.tar.gz" curl -fL --retry 3 \ "https://github.com/trunk-io/analytics-cli/releases/latest/download/${SKU}" \ | tar -xz chmod +x trunk-analytics-cli ./trunk-analytics-cli validate --junit-paths "./junit.xml" ``` ```bash Linux (arm64) theme={null} SKU="trunk-analytics-cli-aarch64-unknown-linux.tar.gz" curl -fL --retry 3 \ "https://github.com/trunk-io/analytics-cli/releases/latest/download/${SKU}" \ | tar -xz chmod +x trunk-analytics-cli ./trunk-analytics-cli validate --junit-paths "./junit.xml" ``` ```bash macOS (arm64) theme={null} SKU="trunk-analytics-cli-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz" curl -fL --retry 3 \ "https://github.com/trunk-io/analytics-cli/releases/latest/download/${SKU}" \ | tar -xz chmod +x trunk-analytics-cli ./trunk-analytics-cli validate --junit-paths "./junit.xml" ``` ```bash macOS (x64) theme={null} SKU="trunk-analytics-cli-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz" curl -fL --retry 3 \ "https://github.com/trunk-io/analytics-cli/releases/latest/download/${SKU}" \ | tar -xz chmod +x trunk-analytics-cli ./trunk-analytics-cli validate --junit-paths "./junit.xml" ``` ### Test Upload Before modifying your CI jobs to automatically upload test results to Trunk, try uploading a single test run manually. You make an upload to Trunk using the following command: ```sh theme={null} ./trunk-analytics-cli upload --junit-paths "./junit.xml" \ --org-url-slug \ --token ``` ## Next Steps Configure your CI to upload test runs to Trunk.
