A guide for generating Trunk-compatible test reports for PHPUnit

You can automatically detect and manage flaky tests in your PHP projects by integrating with Trunk. This document explains how to configure PHPUnit to output JUnit XML reports that can be uploaded to Trunk for analysis.
Trunk detects flaky tests by analyzing test reports automatically uploaded from your CI jobs. You can do this by generating Trunk-compatible XML reports from your test runs.
To generate XML reports, append --log-junit junit.xml to your phpunit test command:
The JUnit report is written to the location specified by --log-junit. In the example above, the test results will be written to ./junit.xml.
You need to disable automatic retries if you previously enabled them. Retries compromise the accurate detection of flaky tests.
PHPUnit doesn't support retries out of the box, but if you implemented retries, remember to disable them.
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:
Configure your CI to upload test runs to Trunk. Find the guides for your CI framework below:
By the end of this guide, you should achieve the following before proceeding to the next steps to configure your CI provider.
After correctly generating reports following the above steps, you'll be ready to move on to the next steps to configure uploads in CI.
You can validate your test reports using the Trunk CLI. If you don't have it installed already, you can install and run the validate command like this:
This will not upload anything to Trunk. To improve detection accuracy, you should address all errors and warnings before proceeding to the next steps.
