How to force gtest write report to xml from Init

For some reason, I can't start gtest tests from commandline, so I can't pass any arguments to it. I want to run InitGoogleTest already with a parameter defined in code. Somewhere on the Internet I found a solution like this:

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
char *option[] = { "test.exe", //it doesn't have meaning, just dummy
                   "--gtest_output=xml:filename" };
int argc1 = 2;
  ::testing::InitGoogleTest(&argc1, option);
  return RUN_ALL_TESTS();
}

This solution didn't produce any errors but didn't create any xml with report either. Can anyone suggest how to force gtest to write xml from Init?

You can override the output flag by adding

::testing::GTEST_FLAG(output) = "xml:filename";

before the call to InitGoogleTest. You can read more on it at Google Test docs.
