Using JUnit reports

JUnit XML files are test-related files that can also be used by specialized build server plugins and other tools that can work with this format, such as xunit-viewer (https://lukejpreston.github.io/xunit-viewer/).

By default, JUnit XML files are not generated when running tests. Since we are dealing with a smart test framework, we can turn on this generation by using the Karate outputJunitXml(true) option in the Runner method:

Results = Runner.path("classpath:reporting")
   .outputCucumberJson(true)
   .reportDir("target/myReport")
   .outputHtmlReport(false)
   .outputJunitXml(true)
   .parallel(2);

This option adds another XML file for every test, as seen here:

Each file contains all the information about the specific test runs. We can visualize this quickly by using a web tool...
