This patch gets JUnit reporter to output more detailed information for
test steps (subtests).
## Issue with previous implementation
In the previous implementation, the test hierarchy was represented using
several XML tags like the following:
- `<testsuites>` corresponds to the entire test (one execution of `deno
test` has exactly one `<testsuites>` tag)
- `<testsuite>` corresponds to one file, such as `main_test.ts`
- `<testcase>` corresponds to one `Deno.test(...)`
- `<property>` corresponds to one `t.step(...)`
This structure describes the test layers but one problem is that
`<property>` tag is used for any use cases so some tools that can ingest
a JUnit XML file might not be able to interpret `<property>` as
subtests.
## How other tools address it
Some of the testing frameworks in the ecosystem address this issue by
fitting subtests into the `<testcase>` layer. For instance, take a look
at the following Go test file:
```go
package main_test
import "testing"
func TestMain(t *testing.T) {
t.Run("child 1", func(t *testing.T) {
// OK
})
t.Run("child 2", func(t *testing.T) {
// Error
t.Fatal("error")
})
}
```
Running [gotestsum], we can get the output like this:
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<testsuites tests="3" failures="2" errors="0" time="1.013694">
<testsuite tests="3" failures="2" time="0.510000" name="example/gosumtest" timestamp="2024-03-11T12:26:39+09:00">
<properties>
<property name="go.version" value="go1.22.1 darwin/arm64"></property>
</properties>
<testcase classname="example/gosumtest" name="TestMain/child_2" time="0.000000">
<failure message="Failed" type="">=== RUN TestMain/child_2
 main_test.go:12: error
--- FAIL: TestMain/child_2 (0.00s)
</failure>
</testcase>
<testcase classname="example/gosumtest" name="TestMain" time="0.000000">
<failure message="Failed" type="">=== RUN TestMain
--- FAIL: TestMain (0.00s)
</failure>
</testcase>
<testcase classname="example/gosumtest" name="TestMain/child_1" time="0.000000"></testcase>
</testsuite>
</testsuites>
```
This output shows that nested test cases are squashed into the
`<testcase>` layer by treating them as the same layer as their parent,
`TestMain`. We can still distinguish nested ones by their `name`
attributes that look like `TestMain/<subtest_name>`.
As described in #22795, [vitest] solves the issue in the same way as
[gotestsum].
One downside of this would be that one test failure that happens in a
nested test case will end up being counted multiple times, because not
only the subtest but also its wrapping container(s) are considered to be
failures. In fact, in the [gotestsum] output above, `TestMain/child_2`
failed (which is totally expected) while its parent, `TestMain`, was
also counted as failure. As
https://github.com/denoland/deno/pull/20273#discussion_r1307558757
pointed out, there is a test runner that offers flexibility to prevent
this, but I personally don't think the "duplicate failure count" issue
is a big deal.
## How to fix the issue in this patch
This patch fixes the issue with the same approach as [gotestsum] and
[vitest].
More specifically, nested test cases are put into the `<testcase>` level
and their names are now represented as squashed test names concatenated
by `>` (e.g. `parent 2 > child 1 > grandchild 1`). This change also
allows us to put a detailed error message as `<failure>` tag within the
`<testcase>` tag, which should be handled nicely by third-party tools
supporting JUnit XML.
## Extra fix
Also, file paths embedded into XML outputs are changed from absolute
path to relative path, which is helpful when running the test suites in
several different environments like CI.
Resolves #22795

Some `deno_std` tests were failing to print output that was resolved
after the last test finished. In addition, output printed before tests
began would sometimes appear above the "running X tests ..." line, and
sometimes below it depending on timing.
We now guarantee that all output is flushed before and after tests run,
making the output consistent.
Pre-test and post-test output are captured in `------ pre-test output
------` and `------ post-test output ------` blocks to differentiate
them from the regular output blocks.
Here's an example of a test (that is much noisier than normal, but an
example of what the output will look like):
```
Check ./load_unload.ts
------- pre-test output -------
load
----- output end -----
running 1 test from ./load_unload.ts
test ...
------- output -------
test
----- output end -----
test ... ok ([WILDCARD])
------- post-test output -------
unload
----- output end -----
```
Step 1 of the Rustification of sanitizers, which unblocks the faster
timers.
This replaces the resource sanitizer with a Rust one, using the new APIs
in deno_core.
This commit adds a "dot" reporter to "deno test" subcommand,
that can be activated using "--dot" flag.
It provides a concise output using:
- "." for passing test
- "," for ignored test
- "!" for failing test
User output is silenced and not printed to the console.
In non-TTY environments each result is printed on a separate line.
