Upload Test Results

Send test results to Harness to enable flaky detection and test tracking

PREREQUISITES

To use hcli commands for uploading test results, you must set the environment variable CI_ENABLE_HCLI_FOR_TESTS=true in your pipeline. Go to Environment variables to configure environment variables.

Upload Test Results

Uploading test results to Harness enables flaky test detection, test history tracking, and visibility in the Tests tab. This is the foundation for all test management features.

Supported Formats

Format	Languages
JUnit XML	Java, Python, Go, Node.js, and most languages

Pipeline Examples

Python

- run:
    script: |-
      # Install dependencies
      pip install pytest

      # Run tests with JUnit output
      hcli htx -- pytest tests/ --junitxml=test-results.xml -v

      # Upload to Harness
      hcli test-reports upload test-results.xml

Java/Gradle

- step:
    type: Run
    name: Run Tests
    spec:
      shell: Sh
      command: |
        hcli htx -- ./gradlew clean test
        hcli test-reports upload "build/test-results/test/*.xml"

Go

- run:
    script: |-
      # Install JUnit reporter
      go install github.com/jstemmer/go-junit-report/v2@latest

      # Run tests and convert output to JUnit XML
      hcli htx -- go test -v ./... 2>&1 | go-junit-report > report.xml

      # Upload to Harness
      hcli test-reports upload report.xml

.NET

- run:
    script: |-
      # Run tests with TRX output (converts to JUnit)
      dotnet test --logger "junit;LogFilePath=test-results.xml"

      # Upload to Harness
      hcli test-reports upload test-results.xml

View Results

After the stage uploading tests completes:

1. Open the pipeline execution

2. Click the Tests tab

You'll see:

Column	Description
Test Name	Fully qualified test name
Status	Pass, Fail, or Skip
Duration	How long the test took
FLAKY badge	Appears if the test has inconsistent results

Use Filter → Flaky to show only flaky tests.

Command Reference

hcli test-reports upload <file-or-glob>

Parameter	Example	Description
File path	test-results.xml	Single file
Glob pattern	"**/test-results/*.xml"	Multiple files (use quotes)

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
Tests not appearing	Verify the file path is correct and the XML format is valid
Glob not matching	Use quotes around patterns: "build/**/*.xml"
Upload fails silently	Add --verbose flag to see detailed output

Next Steps

Once test results are uploading:

• View flaky tests detected automatically

• Enable quarantine to unblock deployments

• Add code coverage tracking
