Summary

Adds native JUnit XML reporting for anta nrfu via a new junit command.

This is a reduced-scope version of the previous JUnit reporter work in #1237. The implementation keeps the change local to the reporter/CLI path and avoids changing the core ANTA result model. For repeated testcase names within the same device testsuite, the JUnit reporter appends a short stable hash derived from existing TestResult data so GitLab and other JUnit consumers do not collapse distinct test invocations.

Closes #789.
Supersedes #1237.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added the experimental anta nrfu junit command to save network test results as a JUnit XML report. The command supports NRFU options, returns the test result exit code, and displays an experimental-feature warning when run.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance on using JUnit reports, experimental features, and known reporting limitations.
  • Important
    • The command and report format are experimental and may change between releases. Review the documented limitations before relying on reports in automated workflows.

📝 Walkthrough

The PR adds an experimental JUnit reporter that serializes NRFU results as XML. It adds the anta nrfu junit command, tests for report generation and CLI behavior, and documentation for the experimental API and its limitations.

Changes: JUnit reporting

Layer / File(s) Summary
JUnit XML generation
anta/experimental/reporter/*, tests/units/experimental/reporter/*
JUnitReporter groups results by device and writes JUnit XML suites and testcases. It records result statuses, disambiguates duplicate testcase names, sanitizes XML-invalid characters, and logs and re-raises write errors. Tests cover report structure, status counts, duplicate names, XML characters, and write failures.
NRFU CLI integration
anta/experimental/*, anta/cli/nrfu/__init__.py, tests/units/experimental/cli/*, tests/units/experimental/test_imports.py, tests/units/cli/nrfu/test_commands.py
The NRFU command group registers junit. The command warns that the feature is experimental, runs NRFU tests, saves a report, and exits with the test result code. Tests cover success, write errors, help, dry runs, import order, and warning output.
Experimental reporting documentation
docs/cli/nrfu.md, docs/experimental/*, docs/reports/anta.md, docs/scripts/generate_doc_snippets.py, docs/snippets/*, zensical.toml, .pre-commit-config.yaml
The documentation describes CLI and Python usage, compatibility status, and known limitations. The generated help snippets and navigation include the command and experimental pages. The pre-commit hook checks snippets for experimental CLI files.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 99ad1

The experimental report remains mergeable with awareness that some CI consumers may collapse repeated testcases and that reports containing unset results have inconsistent totals. The documentation advises checking ANTA’s JSON output for CI results.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 27dac

The inspected reporting path reuses existing execution settings and exit-status handling, and escapes result-derived XML values. Remaining risks concern experimental report correctness and interrupted file writes. Downstream CI reliance is not established, so the report should not be treated as an authoritative security gate.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The inspected new sink is a local file selected by the CLI caller or Python embedding application. Device names and result diagnostics influence report contents, not its destination. File creation and overwrite operate with the invoking process's filesystem authority; this path introduces no separate credential or privilege acquisition step.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The command delegates execution to the existing runner helper and exit decisions to the unfiltered ResultManager. Consequently, omitting statuses through the report's hide filter does not itself change process exit status. Existing ignore-status and ignore-error options still govern exit behavior.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — The reporting limitations affect downstream interpretation rather than rewriting authoritative ANTA results. Experimental labeling and the documented JSON comparison provide operational counterevidence against treating this XML interface as a guaranteed CI gate, but do not technically prevent consumers from doing so.

Explanation

The description explains the feature, scope, linked issues, duplicate-test handling, and validation commands. It does not include the repository checklist, but the main required change and test information are present.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #789 requests JUnit XML reports for ANTA and integration with JUnit consumers. The experimental JUnitReporter writes device suites and testcases with status elements, counts, descriptions, and duplicate-name handling. The experimental anta nrfu junit command exposes the report. Focused tests cover report content, XML escaping, duplicate names, write failures, and CLI behavior.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes remain connected to Issue #789. The experimental CLI and reporter implementation provide the requested feature. Documentation, help snippets, command registration, import coverage, pre-commit matching, and focused tests support the feature or its experimental status. No unrelated change is demonstrated.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 34 functions across 20 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Make duplicate JUnit testcase names unique within each suite.

When ResultManager contains two same-device TestResult instances with identical _get_testcase_identity_hash inputs, _get_testcase_name appends the same hash to both. The reporter emits two <testcase> elements with identical classname and name, even when result or messages differ. Track occurrences in _build_testsuite and append a deterministic per-suite suffix after the hash, such as (1) and (2).

Filter AntaTestStatus.UNSET before building JUnit suites.

ResultManager can retain UNSET results, including results added before test execution. The CLI passes these results to JUnitReporter.generate without filtering. _build_testsuite emits each UNSET result and counts it in the suite, while the root tests attribute excludes it. This makes JUnit totals inconsistent. Filter UNSET results before grouping them into suites because JUnit has no UNSET state.
