Hello! I’m new here. Great work with kotest and thank you for all the work! I have a question, if anyone is available to answer it: I want to generate HTML reports from XML reports (built with Junit XML listener), with Gradle. I can’t seem to find a way to do it without any extra Gradle plugin. Is anyone aware of a listener (similar to what JUnit XML) that will allow me to run this after executing the entire kotest test suite? Thank you!

how does junit do it?

[Hugo Martins]

I'm not sure, to be honest. As far as I could understand from skimming some Gradle pointed out from SO, it seems Gradle generates the HTML report based on the results it holds from running the test suite. I tried serving the XML results generated by Kotest to Gradle to generate the HTML but to no avail. This is why I was considering generating the HTML via a listener...

[sam]

I think yeah we should add our own HTML generator

[sam]

that can work directly from Kotest output

[sam]

This will be better anyway, because it can understand nested tests and timeouts and all the goodies that gradle doesn't understand

[Hugo Martins]

Do you see this being implement as a listener?

[sam]

yes

[sam]

or an extension

[sam]

either or

[sam]

I guess a listener is the simplest way

[Hugo Martins]

Yeah, I was thinking that a listener might be easier. I can try submitting a PR for this if you'd like sometime. I assume that you have a lot on your plate and this won't be a priority.

[sam]

Yes that would be great. Even if you start with something basic and simple we can iterate on it.

[Hugo Martins]

Okay, thank your for your time! Do you want me to submit a feature request for this to be tracked?

[sam]

please

[Hugo Martins]

Thanks again! 👍
