JunitReporter: Report results in jUnit XML format

In testthat: Unit Testing for R

Report results in jUnit XML format

Description

This reporter includes detailed results about each test and summaries, written to a file (or stdout) in jUnit XML format. This can be read by the Jenkins Continuous Integration System to report on a dashboard etc. Requires the xml2 package.

To fit into the jUnit structure, context() becomes the ⁠<testsuite>⁠ name as well as the base of the ⁠<testcase> classname⁠. The test_that() name becomes the rest of the ⁠<testcase> classname⁠. The deparsed expect_that() call becomes the ⁠<testcase>⁠ name. On failure, the message goes into the ⁠<failure>⁠ node message argument (first line only) and into its text content (full message). Execution time and some other details are also recorded.
