flake8-junit-report

What it is and what it does

flake8-junit-report is a command-line tool that reads flake8 linting output and converts it to JUnit XML format. This allows CI servers (like Jenkins) to parse and display flake8 violations as test failures, integrating code quality checks into standard test reporting workflows.

The package has no runtime dependencies and operates as a simple converter: you run flake8 with output redirected to a file, then pass that file to the flake8_junit command to generate an XML report. However, the project is abandoned—last updated in May 2016—and its Python version support (2.6–3.4) is entirely obsolete. Whether it functions on modern Python or recent flake8 versions is unknown.

Use it for:

• Integrate flake8 linting results into Jenkins or other JUnit-compatible CI systems for unified test reporting.
• Convert flake8 output to XML for downstream processing by CI tools that expect JUnit format.
• Display code style violations alongside unit test failures in CI dashboards.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Converts flake8 linting output to JUnit XML format for CI server integration and test reporting.

No. The package is abandoned (last release May 2016, last commit October 2022) and targets obsolete Python versions (2.6–3.4). Compatibility with modern Python and current flake8 is unverified. High install friction and lack of maintenance make this unsuitable for new projects; consider alternatives or integrate flake8 reporting directly into your CI pipeline.

Install

flake8-junit-report on PyPI

pip install flake8-junit-report

uv add flake8-junit-report

poetry add flake8-junit-report

Installing flake8-junit-report

Before you install

High install friction with no runtime dependencies. Package is abandoned as of 2022 with no updates since 2016; last commit was October 2022. Classifiers claim support for Python 2.6–3.4, which are all end-of-life versions.

Quickstart

pip install flake8-junit-report
flake8 --output-file flake8.txt
flake8_junit flake8.txt flake8_junit.xml

Package targets Python 2.6–3.4; compatibility with modern Python versions is unverified.

Verify before relying

• Whether the package actually works on Python versions beyond 3.4 despite classifier claims.
• Current state of the flake8 integration—whether it remains compatible with recent flake8 releases.
• Whether high install friction is due to missing wheels or other packaging issues.
