Is it possible to run the XSLT file through SHELL script

Question

I have the below XSLT file and I just want to run it through SHELL script.

 <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()" />
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="test-method[@status = 'FAIL']"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Sample XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test-result>
    <test-method status="PASS" name="beforeTestSetup" is-config="true" duration-ms="705" started-at="2018-08-16T21:39:59Z" finished-at="2018-08-16T21:39:59Z">
        <params>
            <param index="0">
                <value>
                    <![CDATA[org.testng.TestRunner@31c2affc]]>
                </value>
            </param>
        </params>   
    </test-method>
    <test-method status="FAIL" name="beforeTestSetup" is-config="true" duration-ms="805" started-at="2018-08-16T21:39:59Z" finished-at="2018-08-16T21:39:59Z">
        <params>
            <param index="0">
                <value>
                    <![CDATA[org.testng.TestRunner@31c2affc]]>
                </value>
            </param>
        </params>   
    </test-method>
    <test-method status="PASS" name="TEST" is-config="true" duration-ms="905" started-at="2018-08-16T21:39:59Z" finished-at="2018-08-16T21:39:59Z">
        <params>
            <param index="0">
                <value>
                    <![CDATA[org.testng.TestRunner@31c2affc]]>
                </value>
            </param>
        </params>   
    </test-method>      
</test-result>

I just want to run the above xslt against the sample XML through SHELL script and I want to use it in the JENKINS shell script editor.

Is there any way to achieve this?

You need an XSLT processor to apply an XSLT style file to an XML input file.

We use xsltproc for this and the shell command is

xsltproc [other_options] --output output.xml style.xslt input.xml

See the xsltproc manual page for the other_options. In a nutshell:

SYNOPSIS
       xsltproc [[-V | --version] [-v | --verbose] [{-o | --output} {FILE | DIRECTORY}] |
                --timing | --repeat | --debug | --novalid | --noout | --maxdepth VALUE | --html |
                --encoding ENCODING  | --param PARAMNAME PARAMVALUE  |
                --stringparam PARAMNAME PARAMVALUE  | --nonet | --path "PATH(S)" | --load-trace |
                --catalogs | --xinclude | [--profile | --norman] | --dumpextensions | --nowrite |
                --nomkdir | --writesubtree PATH | --nodtdattr] [STYLESHEET] {XML-FILE | -}
