result = xmlrunner.XMLTestRunner(file(my_dir+rname,"w"))
result.run(suite)

# some code above --- ok

def suite():

my_dir="path"

result = xmlrunner.XMLTestRunner(file(my_dir+rname,"w")).run(suite)

I copied the code.
Now the error is getting as "AttributeError ( 'function' object has no attribute 'addTest' )"

uups, overseen.

# code before ok

def createSuite():
    suite = unittest.TestSuite();
    suite.addTest(xmlreport('open_the_emulator_and_launch_the_securechatapp'))
    suite.addTest(xmlreport('phone_number_validations'))
    suite.addTest(xmlreport('putting_invalid_otp_code'))
    suite.addTest(xmlreport('getting_otp_code_through_phone_call'))
    return suite

suite = createSuite()

# code after ok

The code ran successfully but blank xml report got generated in the given path.
Like html report, i want to generate xml report for all the suite as in the below image.

http://marcelog.github.io/articles/cth_surefire_example.png

I am able to generate html report for the following suites:
  suite.addTest(xmlreport('open_the_emulator_and_launch_the_securechatapp'))
  suite.addTest(xmlreport('phone_number_validations'))
  suite.addTest(xmlreport('putting_invalid_otp_code'))
  suite.addTest(xmlreport('getting_otp_code_through_phone_call'))

Please help me on this

I have written the following script But blank xml file is getting generated in the specified path.
Please tell me if anything is wrong in the code.

do not use this with SikuliX

what version of XMLTestRunner are you using?
(look into the .py file)

this worked for me:

import unittest
import XMLTestRunner

class myTest(unittest.TestCase):

    def test1(self):
        assert True

suite = unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromTestCase(myTest)

XMLTestRunner.XMLTestRunner(file("/Users/rhocke/testOut.txt", "w")).run(suite)

# content of testOut.txt

<testsuite errors="0" failures="0" name="unittest.suite.TestSuite" tests="1" time="0.001">
  <testcase classname="__main__.myTest" name="test1" time="0.0000"></testcase>
  <system-out><![CDATA[]]></system-out>
  <system-err><![CDATA[]]></system-err>
</testsuite>

Thanks Raiman , it worked for me as well. I didn't changed any code.
The only concern was the xml report was not viewable on Safari browser. I was able to see the blank page.
Any reason why it's happening.

I put the above XML into a test.xml and when opening with Safari, it shows the content of the file correctly as XML tree.

My by default browser was safari for xml file.But when o tried to open using firefox , it shows the content of the file correctly as XML tree.
