How To Specify Test Name Parsing

There are 2 options for parsing test names: 1. The delimiter used to split test list names 2. Putting the test list names in the classname or the name of the testcase.

Split On

Expecto uses . by default to split test list names:

My Test List.My Nested Test List.My Test Case

But it can be configured to use /. By default, the test logger will split that test name on ., but you can specify any string to be the delimiter.

Specify the delimiter using SplitOn:

1: 

dotnet test --logger:"junit;SplitOn=."

Name Format

Junit reports have 2 fields in testcase:

1: 

<testcase classname="Test Result Builder tests.Split Class Name tests" name="AllLists-No Nesting" time="0.028" />

classname will populate the Suite column in Gitlab's test reports, while name will be the test name. When the test is not in a list, both values will be the name of the test. When a test is contained in a single list, then the classname will be the list name and the name will be the test name.

When a test is in multiple lists, like this:

1: 
2: 
3: 
4: 
5: 
6: 
7: 
8: 

open Expecto
let tests =
    testList "Root List" [
        testList "More tests" [
            testCase "A test" <| fun _ -> ()
        ]
        testCase "Another test" <| fun _ -> ()
    ]

The logger will need to decide where to put More tests - is that part of the test name, or part of the suite name? This is configurable by the NameFormat argument, with options of RootList or AllLists.

RootList will put only the root list as the Suite name:

1: 

<testcase classname="Root List" name="More Tests.A test" time="0.028" />

AllLists will put all lists in the Suite name:

1: 

<testcase classname="Root List.More Tests" name="A test" time="0.028" />
