Error Parsing Generic Test Execution Report: "expected testExecutions but got testsuites"

Versions

  • SonarQube Server: * Enterprise Edition v2025.2 (105476)
  • CI/CD Environment: Azure DevOps

What I’m Trying to Achieve

I’m trying to import test results from a JUnit-style report into SonarQube using the Generic Test Data format during the CI analysis process. The test report is generated and available at:

/home/vsts/work/1/s/packages/core/report/junit-test-report.xml

The Problem

SonarQube fails during analysis with the following error:

##[error]15:04:29.944 ERROR Error during parsing of generic test execution report '/home/vsts/work/1/s/packages/core/report/junit-test-report.xml'. Look at the SonarQube documentation to know the expected XML format.
org.sonar.api.utils.MessageException: Error during parsing of generic test execution report '/home/vsts/work/1/s/packages/core/report/junit-test-report.xml'. Look at the SonarQube documentation to know the expected XML format.
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unknown XML node, expected "testExecutions" but got "testsuites" at line 2

Package.json config

Here is the package.json config that I’m using:

  "jest": {
    "testResultsProcessor": "jest-sonar-reporter"
  },
  "jest-junit": {
    "outputDirectory": "./report",
    "outputName": "junit-test-report.xml"
  },

What I’ve Tried

  • Verified the report is being generated correctly with <testsuites> as the root XML tag (standard JUnit format)
  • Checked SonarQube documentation for Generic Test Data
  • Ensured the report file is being passed to the scanner using:
sonar.testExecutionReportPaths=packages/core/report/junit-test-report.xml

Questions

  1. Is there a recommended tool or script to convert standard JUnit XML reports to SonarQube’s Generic Test Data format?
  2. Alternatively, should I be using a different report path property or sensor/plugin if my report uses <testsuites> (JUnit format)?
  3. Are there any community-supported integrations that can help with this kind of transformation?

Hi,

What language is the coverage for?
