Native checkstyle xml output

[Gavin Swanson]

I'm currently using a perl script to get the results in xml format. The option for native xml output would be nice.

I think vera++ already has a option for that:

-xmlreport produce report in the XML format

please reopen if I've missed something!

Well I guess what I'm actually looking for in that case is checkstyle style xml output. It's actually pretty close probably won't be a bunch of work. Is there anything now that relies on the particulars of the vera xml output? Vera is missing the xml header and some info about severity.

vera++: <vera> <file name="./file.cpp"> <report rule="L004" line="14">![CDATA[line is longer than 100 characters]]</report> <report rule="T012" line="74">![CDATA[negation operator used in its short form]]</report> <report rule="T019" line="159">![CDATA[full block {} expected in the control structure]]</report> <report rule="T019" line="162">![CDATA[full block {} expected in the control structure]]</report> <report rule="L004" line="335">![CDATA[line is longer than 100 characters]]</report> <report rule="L004" line="336">![CDATA[line is longer than 100 characters]]</report> <report rule="L004" line="372">![CDATA[line is longer than 100 characters]]</report> <report rule="T019" line="378">![CDATA[full block {} expected in the control structure]]</report> <report rule="T012" line="387">![CDATA[negation operator used in its short form]]</report> </file> </vera>

checkstyle: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <checkstyle version="5.0"> <file name="./file.cpp"> <error line="14" severity="warning" message="line is longer than 100 characters" source="L004"/> <error line="74" severity="warning" message="negation operator used in its short form" source="T012"/> <error line="159" severity="warning" message="full block {} expected in the control structure" source="T019"/> <error line="162" severity="warning" message="full block {} expected in the control structure" source="T019"/> <error line="335" severity="warning" message="line is longer than 100 characters" source="L004"/> <error line="336" severity="warning" message="line is longer than 100 characters" source="L004"/> <error line="372" severity="warning" message="line is longer than 100 characters" source="L004"/> <error line="378" severity="warning" message="full block {} expected in the control structure" source="T019"/> <error line="387" severity="warning" message="negation operator used in its short form" source="T012"/> </file> </checkstyle>

ok so I guess the ticket should be about producing a checkstyle compatible xml output. A new option should by added to implement that feature.

The lack of header with --xml-report is definitely a bug.

add checkstyle report - fix #5
