mdapi:deploy and source:deploy need test results file output

See original GitHub issue

My continuous integration process performs a check only deployment to a sandbox and runs all the unit tests. This ensures the code is deployable, and the tests passing before we allow code to be merged into master.

What are you trying to do Generate a junit compatible test results file from a deployment that my CI tool can consume.

Describe the solution you’d like

force:mdapi:deploy ... --testresultsfile test_results.xml --testresultsformat junit
force:source:deploy ... --testresultsfile test_results.xml --testresultsformat junit

Describe alternatives you’ve considered I believe I could use the json format of the deploy command, and write a script to read out the test results into a junit file. If I did this, we would lose the progress updates, and my script would also have to read and print out the other build results for human consumption.

+1 on this. The ability to print a JUnit file in source:deploy is huge for Out of the Box CI/CD test parsing.
