Support for junit output was removed in v8/v8@bd019bd

[refack]

Who do we talk to to get this back. JUnit is the lingua franca of Jenkins...

@nodejs/v8-update

[hashseed]

I wasn't aware this was used. Is there no alternative? It's hard to maintain features we don't test upstream.

[refack]

Ironically I wanted to port it to node-core's test.py, since ATM we output TAP and transform it to JUnit...

From what I see in that file you also dropped TAP so the only machine readable output format is your proprietary JSON?
https://github.com/v8/v8/blob/master/tools/testrunner/testproc/progress.py#L249

An alternative could be to write a transformer for that, but IMHO restoring those dropped 95 lines would be the lowest hanging fruit. (For which you get CI test coverage from us ;)

[refack]

No expected resolution?

[hashseed]

@tmrts we should consider readding junit support.

[tmrts]

@hashseed agreed, I'll readd it this week.

Thanks for the details @targos @refack!

[refack]

@tmrts, thanks for your consideration!

[refack]

ping? any news of this?

[refack]

BTW you can rename this xUnit as the format has been adopted by multiple tools for several runtimes - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XUnit#Test_result_formatter

[mmarchini]

Is there anything left to be done here?

[targos]

Either someone tries to upstream the revert: c58cd35#diff-f93464a48a2b9281080b555fac1081b1852154552800cbc6a2440ad1e3629033
Or we accept to float it forever and close this issue.

As I understand it the only impact is that we don't get the test results in a format that we'd like. We still run/get results and have coped for 1 1/2 years. I figure we just close. @targos make sense to you?
