Get Started in 3 Steps

  1. 1Install the JUnit formatter gem: `gem install rspec_junit_formatter`
  2. 2Run RSpec with JUnit output: `rspec --format RspecJunitFormatter --out test-results/rspec.xml`
  3. 3Add the TestGlance GitHub Action to your CI workflow

Reporter Configuration

rspec --format RspecJunitFormatter --out test-results/rspec.xml

Install first: gem install rspec_junit_formatter

GitHub Actions Workflow

# .github/workflows/test.yml
name: Tests
on: [push, pull_request]

FAQ

How do I generate JUnit XML from RSpec?

Install the rspec_junit_formatter gem and pass it as a formatter: `rspec --format RspecJunitFormatter --out test-results/rspec.xml`. You can use multiple formatters simultaneously.

Does TestGlance work with parallel_tests?

Yes. When using parallel_tests, each process writes its own JUnit XML file. Configure a glob pattern in the TestGlance action to pick up all result files.

Can I track RSpec shared example results?

Yes. Shared examples appear as individual test cases in the JUnit XML output, so TestGlance tracks each inclusion point independently.
