Append object to end of list

Question

Im using python with junit_xml to parse a logfile to produce a xml output. My logfile looks like this:

/path/to/app1,app1,success,my@email.com,app1_log.log
/path/to/app2,app2,fail,my@email.com,app1_log.log

I am able to do append multiple TestCase objects to test_cases with the following code:

test_cases = [TestCase('app1), TestCase('app2')]

What i need is to go through the logfile line by line and add testresult[0] to the testcases object.

from junit_xml import TestSuite, TestCase

test_cases=[]

lines = open('testresults.log').readlines()

for line in lines:
    testresult = string.split(string.strip(line), ',')
    test_cases.append(TestCase(testresult[0])
ts = TestSuite("my test suite", test_cases)

The lineparsing part works fine, but i cant seem to add multiple TestCase objects to the test_case list.

Changing your code to the following, seems to work:

from junit_xml import TestSuite, TestCase

test_cases=[]

lines = open('testresults.log').readlines()

for line in lines:
    testresult = line.split(",")
    test_cases.append(testresult[0])

print test_cases

$ python script.py ['/path/to/app1', '/path/to/app2']
