[apple] 2 test result files with different names. Can't assign a fix file name (eg. TestResult.xml)

[nayanbhagowaty]

Not able to generate a fix file name test result. I might be missing something in apple. Works fine in android. Command i use is
xharness apple test --app=myApp.app --output-directory=./temp --target=ios-simulator-64

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "generate a fix file name test result"?

Can you share output of the XHarness command?

Hi @premun,
Below is my output in the temp folder when I run the apple test command above. Last 2 files are duplicate. What I want is a single test result file (great if, user defined filename) that my build server can uniquely identify.

Can you please run the command with --debug and share the command line output (stdout/err) of the command?

[nayanbhagowaty]

Need to be appended in the same command?
xharness apple test --app=myApp.app --output-directory=./temp --target=ios-simulator-64 --debug
fail: Unknown arguments: --debug

[premun]

Ah, apologies, it's -v not --debug

[nayanbhagowaty]

Here's the log
iostestoutput_.log

[premun]

I am not sure why it creates two of those. I suppose you have cleaned the folder between different runs?

I can see that in our builds, we do this:

# Rename test result XML so that AzDO reporter recognizes it
test_results=$(ls "$output_directory"/xunit-*.xml)
if [ -f "$test_results" ]; then
    echo "Found test results in $test_results. Renaming to testResults.xml to prepare for Helix upload"

    # Prepare test results for Helix to pick up
    mv "$test_results" "$output_directory/testResults.xml"
fi

[nayanbhagowaty]

Yes. it is a clean build on an empty directory. I will do the same & continue investigating then.
Thanks for having a look.
