Problem

I've cloned this repo and am using it in GitLab due to its CI/CD options (clone: https://gitlab.com/CarlosSMA/flask-base).

While doing the process, I've noticed that the tests done in the manage.py file don't export artifact logs in JUnit, and thus the GitLab pipeline can't show what tests were made, and their respective status and duration.

For now, I've implemented the xmlrunner lib in the test() function, however this doesn't seem to be the best solution, and I'd like to avoid using news libs.

Temporary fix

The following code is available on the feat-tests branch:

• requirements.txt

[...]
urllib3==1.25.8
webassets==0.12.1
Werkzeug==0.15.5
WTForms==2.2.1
xmlrunner==1.7.7

• manage.py

@manager.command
def test():
    """Run the unit tests."""
    import unittest
    import xmlrunner
    
    test_results = xmlrunner.XMLTestRunner(output="tests-reports", outsuffix='log',).run(unittest.TestLoader().discover("tests"))

• .gitlab-ci.yml
