colcon-test-result
Extension for colcon to provide information about the test results.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes-with-conditions. Install if you use colcon for multi-package builds and need test result reporting integrated into the build system. Verify first that it works with your colcon-core version, since the package has been dormant since 2019 and may not support recent colcon changes. If you need active maintenance or modern Python support, consider whether a newer or actively maintained alternative exists.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires colcon-core to be installed and functional; this is a plugin that extends colcon, not a standalone tool.
- Low install friction; depends only on colcon-core.
- Maintenance is dormant—last release was 2019-10-01 and no commits since 2024-11-25, so expect no active bug fixes or feature updates.

What it is and what it does
colcon-test-result is a plugin for the colcon build system that adds test result reporting capabilities. It extends colcon-core to capture, organize, and display information about test outcomes when you run builds. Once installed, it integrates automatically into colcon's workflow and provides structured access to test results.
The package is in Alpha status and has been dormant since its last release in October 2019. It carries low install friction—only colcon-core as a runtime dependency—and uses a permissive Apache 2.0 license. However, the lack of recent maintenance means it may not work reliably with current versions of colcon or modern Python environments without verification.
Use it for
- Display test results as part of a colcon build pipeline to see which tests passed or failed.
- Integrate test outcome data into CI/CD workflows that use colcon for multi-package builds.
- Analyze test results across multiple packages in a colcon workspace.
- Generate test reports from colcon builds for documentation or debugging.
