I got fed up with loading a command line MS Test output data (.trx file) into visual studio in order to see the the failed tests and their messages so with the help of a colleague we came up with a simple XSL transformation that turns the output of the MS test session into a piece of text or html. We use the text version to print out a summary, and the html version to show the errors (if any :-)
In order to incorporate it into the command line desktop build I used nxslt2 from xmllab.net. Which takes the trx file, the xsl stylesheet and the output on its command line e.g.
nxslt2.exe testrun.trx trxformatter.xsl -o testrun.results.htm
The summary stylesheet just outputs how many test found, passed and failed, and the name of the trx file if any did fail (so you can interrogate easily in vs if you want).
1: <xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >
2: <xsl:output method="text" />
3: <xsl:template match="/">
4: Test Results Summary : Codebase: <xsl:value-of select="Tests/TestRun/tests/value/codeBase"/>
5: <xsl:if test="(Tests/TestRun/result/executedTestCount - Tests/TestRun/result/passedTestCount) > 0">
6: Summary : Failed <xsl:value-of select="Tests/TestRun/result/executedTestCount - Tests/TestRun/result/passedTestCount"/> (Executed [<xsl:value-of select="Tests/TestRun/result/executedTestCount"/>], Found [<xsl:value-of select="Tests/TestRun/result/totalTestCount"/>], Passed [<xsl:value-of select="Tests/TestRun/result/passedTestCount"/>])
7: Results : <xsl:value-of select="Tests/TestRun/runConfig/runDeploymentRoot"/>.trx
8: </xsl:if> <xsl:if test="(Tests/TestRun/result/executedTestCount - Tests/TestRun/result/passedTestCount) = 0">
9: Summary : Passed (Executed [<xsl:value-of select="Tests/TestRun/result/executedTestCount"/>], Found [<xsl:value-of select="Tests/TestRun/result/totalTestCount"/>], Passed [<xsl:value-of select="Tests/TestRun/result/passedTestCount"/>])
10: </xsl:if>
11: 12: </xsl:template>
13: </xsl:stylesheet>
and outputs a summary similar to :
0">Summary : Failed (Executed [99 ], Found [100 ], Passed [99 ])
0">Results : (name of test results file) .trx
Summary : Passed (Executed [99 ], Found [100 ], Passed [97])
The error details stylesheet :
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"

I'm aware that you can optimise the xsl but it works for me as is.
Really nice, i need just the same. Thanks
ReplyDeleteLooks cool, but the link for nxslt2 download is broken. i have not been able to locate the proper file yet. you may want to see if you can update the link.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
