junit report granularity

[ajaggapa]

Below is my junit report. It shows duration for test (It) along with BeforeAll & JustAfterEach.
I am looking to have a junit report with more granularity which shows time taken for BeforeAll, AfterAll, AfterEach.. etc
Is there any way to get such report ?

hey @ajaggapa the junit report format is quite limited and there is not a formal junit spec that desribes how to add additional metadata.

I recommend generating Ginkgo's json output using --json-report and using that instead of or alongisde the junit output. Each spec in the JSON file includes a SpecEvents entry that looks like this (this is from one of Ginkgo's integration tests):

As you can see it includes timestamps for each event and durations (in µs) for the Node (End) events. You can easily write some code to load this up and collect the durations as needed.

Thanks @onsi for your response.
Yeah, Json looks better. I will try with it instead.
