Herve Boutemy commented on SUREFIRE-537:
----------------------------------------
py.test seem to have implemented the feature in the XML report they produce by
using message attribute to skipped element (like error or failure): see
http://lists.idyll.org/pipermail/testing-in-python/2011-March/003930.html
this message does not seem to be supported by JENKINS, for example, see
https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-8713
but add such message attribute to actual "skipped" element generated by
Surefire should not cause any harm
> Reason for the Ignored/Skipped testcases is not reported

> Key: SUREFIRE-537
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-537
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Junit 4.x support, Maven Surefire Report Plugin, xml
> generation
> Affects Versions: 2.4.3
> Environment: Windows XP, junit 4.4
> Reporter: Rakesh Arora
> Assignee: Kristian Rosenvold
>
> Tests that are skipped with a @Ignore("Test doesn't work") annotation only
> appear in the report as an increment in the "Skipped" column. Name of the
> skipped testcases is also reported. However, the reason (i.e. "Test doesn't
> work") is not reported.
> Quick look at the source code, it seems that it is not implemented:
> In class: org.apache.maven.plugins.surefire.report.TestSuiteXmlParser
> {code:java} else if ( "skipped".equals( qName ) )
> {
> testCase.addFailure( "skipped", "skipped" ); // TODO extract
> real reasons
> currentSuite.setNumberOfSkipped( 1 +
> currentSuite.getNumberOfSkipped() );
> }{code}
