Robot framework: How to merge two xunit xml report files?

1.My robot file after running generates 4 files basically. output.xml, xunit.xml,report.html and log.html 2. After rerun,I want to merge the rerun generated report files with the old ones and obtain a new file. later,Xunit xmls are used to update qtest testcases.

I am not able to merge Xunit xmls using "--merge" command

Error:

[ ERROR ] Reading XML source '../../../xunit.xml' failed: Incompatible XML element 'testsuite'. Please help in resolving this issue

You need to first merge the output xml files and then create an xunit file out of those.

To achieve this there is a tool called rebot that is installed alongside with Robot Framework. After you have run your Robot Framework tests and have multiple different output.xml files you may run the following command:

Let's assume you have output1.xml and output2.xml.

rebot -R --xunit mergedxunit.xml output*.xml

Running that command will create a new mergedxunit.xml file containing all the test cases run in both output1.xml and output2.xml in xunit format. Note that if you remove the -R flag, new output tests will replace identical tests in the combined file.

Here is the rebot.py code file including information about all the different accepted parameters: https://github.com/robotframework/robotframework/blob/master/src/robot/rebot.py
