Selenium 2/Webdriver + python + jenkins. How can I generate xml output for hudson for test reports?

Question

I have python unittest tests using Selenium 2 and I can run it fine on my computer but now I want to use it with Jenkins. In the "execute shell", I call my script that runs all my Selenium tests but even though I get an Error or Fail for the tests, Jenkins says "Finished: SUCCESS" in the console output and thinks it passed in the console output.

1) Why does it think it passed? How can I let Jenkins detect it actually failed?

2) How can I generate an XML report of the test results so that it is compatible with JUnit and Jenkins? (testrunner?)

Thanks!

@lazy1 It's just python2.7 start-tests.py. Inside that I have suite definitions, then if __name__=='__main__', ......then unittest.TextTestRunner().run(suite()). — JiL

Hard to tell. My guess will be that failure in the test does not result in non-zero value returned from the script. Maybe another command after the python start-tests.py that does not fail? — Miki Tebeka

For 2 you can use nosetests --with-xunit.
