[TIP] skipped testcases not reported in JUnit XML

[holger krekel]

Hi Pere,

thanks for reporting.  If i understand it right you ask for
a message attribute for the skip element in junitxml output.
I just implemented it and you can install a development snapshot via

    pip install -i http://pypi.testrun.org -U pytest

(py.test --version should give you 2.0.3.dev3).

Please let me know if this works for you.  I am still a bit
unsure about the JunitXML standards out there - for one, Jenkins
(formerly Hudson) does not seem to recognize skip-messages.

best,
holger
