How can I generate an HTML report for Junit results?
I found the above answers quite useful but not really general purpose, they all need some other major build system like Ant or Maven.
I wanted to generate a report in a simple one-shot command that I could call from anything (from a build, test or just myself) so I have created junit2html which can be found here: https://github.com/inorton/junit2html
You can install it by doing:
pip install junit2html
If you could use Ant then you would just use the JUnitReport task as detailed here: http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/junitreport.html, but you mentioned in your question that you're not supposed to use Ant.I believe that task merely transforms the XML report into HTML so it would be feasible to use any XSLT processor to generate a similar report.
Alternatively, you could switch to using TestNG ( http://testng.org/doc/index.html ) which is very similar to JUnit but has a default HTML report as well as several other cool features.
