Skip test => "JUnit test output folder did not exist"

[tifroz]

I come from the iOS world, and I can't make sense of this JUnit error. It looks like the plugin generates Android test output in one folder, and tries to parse the test output from a different folder?

Here is the output from running skip test from a freshly cloned skip-web repository

➜ skip-web git:(main) ANDROID_SERIAL=[REDACTED] skip test
[✓] Build Project (6.5s)
[✓] Test project (47.41s)
[✗] JUnit test output folder did not exist at: /private/tmp/skip-web/.build/plugins/outputs/skip-web/SkipWebTests/destination/skipstone/SkipWeb/.build/SkipWeb/test-results/testDebugUnitTest
[✗] Skip 1.7.2 test failed with 1 error
See https://skip.dev/docs/faq and https://forums.skip.dev for help
See output log for error details: /tmp/skip-test-2026-02-22T19:45:42Z.txt
Error: 2 errors
➜ skip-web git:(main)

The folder /private/tmp/skip-web/.build/plugins/outputs/skip-web/SkipWebTests/destination/skipstone/SkipWeb/.build/SkipWeb/ exists, but it does not have the requested test-results sub-folder.

It looks like the test output file was generated in another folder (...build/SkipWeb/outputs/...)?

ls /private/tmp/skip-web/.build/plugins/outputs/skip-web/SkipWebTests/destination/skipstone/SkipWeb/.build/SkipWeb/outputs/androidTest-results/connected/debug

SM-S721U - 16
test-result.pb
TEST-SM-S721U - 16-_SkipWeb-.xml

I must have a misconfiguration somewhere?!?? have no idea where to start

Can you try re-running? That error is often just an intermittent hiccup (whose source we have yet to track down).

I have run the command multiple times with consistent results.

• I initially experienced the problem while running skip v1.7.0 & upgraded to skip v1.7.2 with the same results
• Same when running against emulator Vs physical device
• Same from different checkouts of skip-web

Hmm. skip test is passing locally for me, and also passes in CI (https://github.com/skiptools/skip-web/actions)

Could you post the output of skip test -v so we can examine the full log output?

I ran it on the device (yields JUnit error in "device-skip-test") + naked (no device, no emulator) with no errors in naked-skip-test.txt
