#27844 — Publish unittest results from test discovery

So I've started using unittest, and I love it. I use testdiscovery (python -m unittest discover) so that I can distribute my tests and don't have to manage them all manually. I wanted to start publishing my test results to xml, though. I found xmlrunner by googling around, but it requires me to add an if __name__ == '__main__' block to my code, which isn't executed by unittest discover. Is there a way to get unittest disover to work with xmlrunner, or to some other way to solve this without restructuring all my test code?

Steady on there! It's only been about an hour and a half since you last 
asked this exact same question, almost word-for-word identical. The more 
specialised the question, the longer it may take for somebody who knows 
the answer to reply. For something like this, I would wait at least a 
couple of days before replying to your original post. (Don't just re-post 
the question in a new thread, keep the response in a single thread.)

I have no idea about xmlrunner and unittest discovery, sorry.

I entirely agree with Steven's comments.  I'd put a question like this 
on a specialised list.  How about gmane.comp.python.testing.general ? 
Sorry I've no idea what it's called elsewhere.

I don't see where you could specify a test runner on the commandline, but 
you can reuse the discovery code in your own scripts. For the following 
example I basically copied unittest.__main__.py:

$ cat discover.py 
#!/usr/bin/env python
import xmlrunner

__unittest = True

from unittest.main import main, TestProgram, USAGE_AS_MAIN
TestProgram.USAGE = USAGE_AS_MAIN

main(module=None, testRunner=xmlrunner.XMLTestRunner(output='test-reports'))
$ cat test_alpha.py 
import unittest

class T(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_alpha(self):
        pass
    def test_beta(self):
        self.assertEquals(["a", "b", "c"], ["a", "B", "c"])
$ ./discover.py discover
