Jenkins tests reports analyzer integration with catch

Question

I've recently started working with Jenkins to automatically build my c++ project and run my tests (I'm using catch.cpp).

I wanted some sort of a table of test run time and status and that led me to the "Test Results Analyzer" Plugin for Jenkins.

I have my builds run like this:

And you can see they actually run in the console output:

finally, my test results analyzer plugin shows nothing:

It looks like the plugin does not recognize that these are my tests. Which is reasonable since I've only told jenkins to execute these commands and i don't think it's smart enough to understand these are the tests to report. But i could not find how to tell "Test Reports Analyzer" what are the tests it needs to report.

My question is how do i get a table of tests like in the Plugins webpage:

Tests Reports Analyzer

Solution:

Jenkins needs a Junit format xml file of the test results.

specifically, in Catch.cpp this is achieved by the "-r junit" command line option.

after this i needed to configure jenkins to "Publish JUnit test result report" post-build action and git it a path to the output xml file i create with my "make test" command.
