Also encountering the same issue:

        steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
    - name: Set up JDK 21
      uses: actions/setup-java@v3
      with:
        java-version: '21'
        distribution: 'temurin'
        cache: maven
    - name: Server Integration Tests
      run: mvn --errors --debug verify <REDACTED>
    - name: Report Test Results
      if: success() || failure()
      uses: scacap/action-surefire-report@v1
      with:
        report_paths: target/failsafe-reports/*.xml

Maven Plugin version:
<maven.plugins.version>3.0.0</maven.plugins.version>

Same error as previous

Ah, this is due to it picking up the summary file (failsafe-summary.xml) which appears in the failsafe-reports directory!

report_paths: **/failsafe-reports/*.xml

Changing to **/failsafe-reports/TEST-*.xml should fix this.

While this is a misconfiguration, I do feel like it's a bit of a footgun and should probably be addressed more gracefully in the code, at the very least report the file that caused the error in the output.

This should work for you too @dejan-stojadinovic dejan-stojadinovic

@dejan-stojadinovic @robbie-cronometer thank you for reporting the issue. Unfortunately we don't have the capacity to look into this at the moment, but I'll try to find a fix next month.

If you already have an idea on how to fix or improve the error visibility, feel free to raise a pull request.

I too facing this issue while parsing the testng-results.xml , it says Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'testsuite'), @ghaiszaher any workaround for now ?

[ghaiszaher]

@dejan-stojadinovic @robbie-cronometer @rahulshrivastava-eaton this should be fixed with v1.7.3. Please reopen if you still face the issue.
