pylint-junit
pylint reporter for junit format.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you run pylint in a CI system that consumes JUnit reports (Jenkins, Azure DevOps, etc.) and need valid XML output even when pylint finds no issues. The package is dormant but stable, has no known vulnerabilities, and solves a specific integration problem. Not necessary if your CI already handles pylint's native output or you use a different reporting format.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel.
- Dormant maintenance (last release 2025-01-21, no commits since then) but no active issues flagged; suitable for stable, narrow use.

What it is and what it does
pylint_junit is a pylint plugin that converts pylint's linting output into JUnit XML format, a standard report format understood by CI systems. It wraps pylint and junit-xml to produce valid XML even when pylint finds no issues—a scenario that caused problems in earlier tools. Each pylint message becomes a separate test case failure in the JUnit report, allowing CI systems to report multiple issues per file rather than collapsing them into a single failure.
You install it alongside pylint, then either configure it in .pylintrc or pass it as a formatter flag on the command line. It's designed for teams integrating pylint into Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or similar CI pipelines that consume JUnit reports for test and quality metrics.
Use it for
- Integrate pylint linting results into Jenkins pipelines that parse JUnit XML reports
- Report pylint violations as separate test failures in Azure DevOps CI builds
- Generate CI-consumable quality reports from pylint without post-processing
- Track code quality metrics across multiple files in CI dashboards that expect JUnit format
