The JUnit Report macro displays a summary of JUnit test results from a directory accessible by the Confluence server. JUnit is a unit testing framework which allows programmers to ensure that individual units of Java source code are functioning correctly.For security reasons JUnit test result files can only be imported from a specified location in the Confluence server's file system.  We recommend administrators create a folder in their Confluence home directory, add the system property confluence.junit.report.directory and specify the location for JUnit test result files to be imported from. JUnit Test result files cannot be imported from the server until this system property is set.The JUnit Report macro appears as shown in the screenshot below.

Wiki markup examples

Loading JUnit reports from a local drive:

{junitreport:directory=file:///C:/TEMP/}


Loading JUnit reports from a network drive:

{junitreport:url=http://*host*/*path*}


Loading JUnit reports from a Confluence site:

{junitreport:url=http://yourConfluenceInstance.com/download/attachments/<page id>/file.xml}


Loading JUnit reports from a Confluence site that requires authentication:

If your Confluence site is not accessible by anonymous users, specify login credentials with the os_username and os_password URL parameters (as part of the macro's url parameter). In this case, we are specifying a username of 'admin' and a password of 'secret'.

{junitreport:url=http://yourConfluenceInstance.com/download/attachments/<page id>/file.xml?os_username=admin&os_password=secret}
