HTML Report for JUNIT by ANT

Question

How can I generate HTML reports from JUnit using Ant when there are test failures?

The reports are generated when there are no failures.

Also, how can we define our own XSLT for the report generation?

build.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="Ant Example" default="all" basedir=".">
    <property name="project_name" value="junitSamples" />

        <mkdir dir="${reports}" />
        <mkdir dir="${reports}/raw/" />
        <mkdir dir="${reports}/html/" />
    </target>

    <target name="compile" depends="init">
        <javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}" description="compile the source code ">

                </fileset>
            </classpath>
        </javac>
    </target>

    <target name="clean">
        <delete dir="build" />
        <delete dir="${reports}" />
    </target>

    <target name="run-tests" depends="compile">

                    <include name="**/*.jar" />
                </fileset>
            </classpath>

            <batchtest fork="yes" todir="${reports}/raw/">

                </fileset>
            </batchtest>
        </junit>
    </target>

    <target name="test" depends="run-tests">
        <junitreport todir="${reports}">
            <fileset dir="${reports}/raw/">
                <include name="TEST-*.xml" />
            </fileset>
            <report format="noframes" todir="${reports}\html\" />
        </junitreport>
    </target>

    <target name="all" depends="clean, test" />
</project>

To specify your own stylesheets, use the "styledir" attribute:

<report styledir="${resources}/junit" format="..." todir="..." />

As noted, you must use the "junit-noframes.xsl" stylesheet name.
