Most test rules in Bazel output the results in a junit.xml format. The only change needed for this is:

    fixed_args = [
        "--test-report $XML_OUTPUT_FILE",
        "--output junit",
    ]

But this uses the same test suite name for every test, which doesn't look great in most CI systems that parse junit.xml files. So it also passes the test target as the suite name, which also required me to modify the go code to accept a suite name.

Summary of Changes

Hello @vinnybod, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the Bazel integration for container-structure-test by enabling the output of test results in junit.xml format. The primary motivation is to improve compatibility with CI systems by allowing the JUnit test suite name to be dynamically set based on the Bazel test target, rather than a generic default. This involved modifications to the Bazel rule definition, the Go application's command-line interface to accept a new suite name parameter, and updates to the internal Go logic for processing and outputting JUnit XML. Additionally, the PR includes an update to the Bazel test version and improved documentation for local development and testing.

Highlights

  • Bazel Rule for JUnit XML Output: The Bazel rule for container_structure_test now includes arguments to generate test results in junit.xml format, dynamically setting the suite name based on the Bazel test target.
  • Configurable JUnit Suite Name: The core Go application now supports a new command-line flag --junit-suite-name for the test command, allowing users to explicitly define the JUnit test suite name.
  • Go Application Logic Updates: Internal Go functions responsible for processing and outputting test results have been updated to accept and utilize the specified JUnit suite name, ensuring it's correctly reflected in the generated XML.
  • Improved Local Testing Documentation: Documentation has been added to bazel/test/README.md providing clear instructions on how to test local changes to the container-structure-test binary within the Bazel testing environment.
  • Bazel Version Update: The Bazel version used for testing has been updated from 6.1.1 to 7.6.0.

Code Review

This pull request successfully adds support for generating junit.xml output from Bazel tests. The changes include passing necessary flags from the Bazel rule, adding a new command-line flag --junit-suite-name to the Go application to customize the test suite name, and plumbing this new option through to the output generation logic. The implementation looks solid. I've added a few comments regarding documentation portability, a minor formatting issue, and an opportunity to improve test coverage for the new functionality.

Neat!

We'll have to do a two step release dance here, since we didn't hook up a way for the Go binaries to be built as part of the release
