Description

In a Maven project with the setting "<reuseForks>false</reuseForks>" and TestNg, the file testng-result.xml gets overwritten by the last test.

I somehow understand why it is difficult to avoid this by design of fork, but a workaround solution, as suggested by SUREFIRE-1018 or SUREFIRE-446, is to use the individual TEST-[className].xml files.

However, if I use a Jenkins plugin like testng, I cannot make him ingest these files, as they do not have the same structure as testng-result.xml. This is a bug of testng, rather than the Jenkins plugin testng. Couldn't we make testng-result-[className].xml, for each test, with the testng-result.xml structure? Otherwise, the Jenkins plugin https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/testng-plugin is completely not usable.

Thank you.
