gotestsum

gotestsum is a testing framework for Go.

Enabling XML Output

Since go test does not support XML output directly, you can use gotestsum to convert the native output to JUnit XML. First install it with

go install gotest.tools/gotestsum@latest

Then run your tests with

gotestsum --junitfile gotestsum_test.xml

Test Suite Naming

gotestsum produces JUnit XML with the name and classname fields set by the function name and classnames being tested. For example, this function in the module example/hello

func TestHelloName(t *testing.T) {
    name := "Gladys"
    want := regexp.MustCompile(`\b`+name+`\b`)
    msg, err := Hello("Gladysx")
    if !want.MatchString(msg) || err != nil {
        t.Fatalf(`Hello("Gladys") = %q, %v, want match for %#q, nil`, msg, err, want)
    }
}

produces XML that looks like this:

<testsuites tests="1" failures="1" errors="0" time="0.555454">
    <testsuite tests="1" failures="1" time="0.363000" name="example/hello" timestamp="2024-08-06T14:25:47-07:00">
        <properties>
            <property name="go.version" value="go1.22.5 darwin/arm64"></property>
        </properties>
        <testcase classname="example/hello" name="TestHelloName" time="0.000000">
            <failure message="Failed" type="">=== RUN   TestHelloName&#xA;
                hello_test.go:17: Hello(&#34;Gladys&#34;) = &#34;
                Hail, Gladysx! Well met!&#34;, &lt;nil&gt;, want 
                match for `\bGladys\b`, nil&#xA;--- FAIL: TestHelloName (0.00s)
                </failure>
        </testcase>
    </testsuite>
</testsuites>
