I'm glad you are liking green! Tell your friends about it ;-)

I have never used subunit before. Is it this project on launchpad?

There is already an html option, but that's not really structured. Just marked up. And honestly I didn't end up using the html output option and it's a pain to maintain, so I was considering removing it.

Perhaps a json output option in its place would make sense. That may be better than trying to directly interface with every possible expected input. Then people could present the data however they wanted.

Yes. And python-subunit on PyPI.

I'm not sure if junit-xml or subunit has more support, but I suspect the former ;)

You can (easily) downconvert subunit to junit XML -- and it's fairly easy to generate subunit if you have similar support for reporters as trial does (I haven't checked, is there?) Regardless, if you have subunit support you'd be able to use green in Jenkins.

@Julian Green does not have a plugin interface like trial reporters, and I have no plans to add one at the moment.

I do still think it would be good to add features to green such as subunit support, though. Real life just keeps delaying me from getting to it. Patches welcome if someone beats me to it!

@meejah Green now has a -j/--junit-report feature contributed in #204. I'm going to close this issue guessing that this fills your need, but feel free to open the issue back up if it doesn't and explain why. Edit: That feature shipped in 2.15.0, just released.
