Upload TestResults.xml as part of the build in Appveyor
From https://gitter.im/nunit/nunit?at=621d255c6b91242320103054 it was suggested that we should also upload the test results of the builds (as artifacts).
@batzen also had the following comment
Appveyor supports uploading test results. Have a look at https://github.com/fluentribbon/Fluent.Ribbon/blob/develop/appveyor.yml
Interesting... the reason given for needing it is the reverse of when we might want it ourselves. That is, we generally only need to see the result if there is a failure, in which case it's visible in the log. I assume that's why nobody ever bothered to upload them before. But @Archana-N wants to see the full output for a test run with no failures (since we only publish a release if there are no failures). We can do this of course, but it's an interesting difference in viewpoint. :-)
This is an interesting one. I'm curious what in our test results they would look for to evaluate whether or not to use NUnit in their organization.
I wonder as well. The most they would get is a list of passing tests... potentially a long list. As a "floating" coach / consultant, I ran into a lot of companies with similar rituals.
Ward Cunningham tells a story of one company with a medical application using FIT for it's tests. They wanted a report that listed the names of all the tests with PASSED or FAILED next to them. They got it and were happy. Somebody could easily create a ResultWriter extension to produce that sort of thing from our output, of course.
I've seen the same request from some organizations, they want the report as a kind of confirmation, or documentation really, to management that tests have been run and are passed. Name of the tests are sort of the important thing, as far as I understood it.
@nunit/engine-team Closed based on discussion. If anyone feels we should keep it, please let me know, but hopefully be prepared to implement it. :-)
