Support `[[ATTACHMENT|path/to/file]]`?

Please support the Attachment pattern:

<system-out>
....
[[ATTACHMENT|/absolute/path/to/some/file]]
....
</system-out>

(see Jenkins or MSDN Forums)

any links generated would have to be in cooperation of the webserver hosting the junit html

The simplest way is to make href or src of a link in report be exactly equal to ATTACHMENT value (URLencoded, though). And that attachment value could be relative path to report file. Relative path works well for both local path and Web scenario. It is the junit2html user’s duty to make the attachment available for the web server on that path.

So, that algorithm is such:

• [test author] writes a file to the path relative to the XML report. E.g. logs/test-11111.log and shots/shot-01.png.
• [test author] writes [[ATTACHMENT|logs/test-11111.log]] to the test’s stdout. Now we have it in our report.
• [junit2html user] calls junit2html to make HTML report from XML.
• [junit2html] sees [[ATTACHMENT|.....]] and checks file’s MIME type.
• • if MIME type is image/* the <img src= is used.
• • if MIME type is video/* the <video src= is used.
• • if MIME type is something other <a href= is used.
• [junit2html user] copies converted HTML report and all the files around it (with logs/test-11111.log included) to some location served by HTTP server, like /www/reports/my-great-product/unique-test-id.
• [HTTP server] serves HTML report from (lets say) https://reports.local
• • The url of the example report then will be https://reports.local/my-great-product/unique-test-id/report.html (or even index.html, but that is easily achieved outside of junit2html)
• • There are <img src="shots/shot-01.png"> and <a href="logs/test-11111.log"/>logs/test-11111.log</a> in the report. They still works cause they’re relative to the report’s file.

Other scenarios could be achieved by the [test author] as (s)he knows how the report server works and change [[ATTACHMENT|....]] text accordingly.

Hi @BenjaminLaschkar This seems to be a feature of a jenkins plugin rather than part of the junit spec.

I don’t think I will include this into junit2html.
