RFC: XML with and without <testsuites> tag

[atodorov]

Hello,
in Kiwi TCMS we are seeing failures parsing different XML files. The main difference is that some of them contain <testsuites> tag while others don't, see:
kiwitcms/junit.xml-plugin#9

What would be a good way to discover the varying formats so we can adjust our parsing tools?

Sorry for not seeing this earlier. This library is just a wrapper over an xml file for easy processing. What I can think of is something similar to the last comment in the thread you posted:

if xml._tag == "testsuites":
  cases = [case for cases in xml for case in cases]
else:
  cases = list(xml)

But I'm open to suggestions.
