nodejs test suite integration with xunit reporter

Hey,

I'm using your service to run a test suite with nodejs and I want to integrate the tests report in a better way. I can enable the xunit reporter at the moment I run the tests, so the question is: Is there a way to create a notification using the xunit output? I'm looking for something better than an email saying "success" or "failure".

Thanks!

   I'm checking the code for mocha reporters and it should be extremely easy to create a custom reporter for appveyor to show the test directly in the tests tab.

   Example: https://github.com/visionmedia/mocha/blob/master/lib/reporters/xuni...

   What do you think?

   Hi Facundo,

   Yeah, I think it's doable. First, we have Build Worker REST API for pushing test results in a real-time. Take a look how it's made in xUnit: https://github.com/xunit/xunit/blob/master/src/xunit.console/Visito...
   xUnit reporter from Mocha looks very similar!

   Second, there is another way to push results in XML format: http://www.appveyor.com/docs/running-tests#test-results

   Let me know if you have any questions.

   For now I'm doing the following:

   1. Run mocha and generate a json report.
      
   2. I have created an PS script to parse the json report and call the command Add-AppveyorTest "Test A" -Outcome Passed -Duration 1000 # in milliseconds with the correct information per test executed.

   Should I embed the script into the appveyor.yml? because I didn't see an example calling a .ps file hooking the after_test property

   Thanks!

   Yay, it works!

   If you have any comments, please let me know :D

   Cool, thanks for the update!

   I can only add that if you have more than 100 tests a better way to push them to a build console could be calling REST API directly and in batches: http://www.appveyor.com/docs/build-worker-api#add-tests
