Warnings

[jchapelle]

Would it be possible to display warnings message and their source component ?

There's ample talk about whether JUnit reporting structure (the XML schema) supports warnings at all.
Seems that JUnit has been designed to take a strict stance on every test resulting either a pass or error; with an additional one state that comes from the test running environment:
fail = a technical "test running issue" caused the test not to result in actually reliable information
error = test itself failed
pass = test itself passed

What would be a good method for showing warnings? I think it's worth considering. Probably as in other
talks about this, one thing to be careful about is that warnings would not break existing test
setups - otherwise it's gonna be a perhaps (too many) red blips in quality dashboards.

Thanks for the feddback
