ansible.builtin.junit – write playbook output to a JUnit file.

Note

This callback plugin is part of ansible-core and included in all Ansible installations. In most cases, you can use the short plugin name junit even without specifying the collections: keyword. However, we recommend you use the FQCN for easy linking to the plugin documentation and to avoid conflicting with other collections that may have the same callback plugin name.

Synopsis

  • This callback writes playbook output to a JUnit formatted XML file.

  • Tasks show up in the report as follows: ‘ok’: pass ‘failed’ with ‘EXPECTED FAILURE’ in the task name: pass ‘failed’ with ‘TOGGLE RESULT’ in the task name: pass ‘ok’ with ‘TOGGLE RESULT’ in the task name: failure ‘failed’ due to an exception: error ‘failed’ for other reasons: failure ‘skipped’: skipped

Requirements
