xcresulttool metrics export failed

Error message

xcresulttool metrics export failed

What it means

RuntimeError raised when `xcrun xcresulttool get test-results metrics --path <bundle> --compact` exits non-zero in extract_xctest_metrics.py. The message is the tool's stripped stderr, or the generic 'xcresulttool metrics export failed' when stderr is empty.

Solutions

1. Read the stderr text embedded in the RuntimeError to identify the xcresulttool complaint.
2. Ensure the .xcresult comes from tests that use XCTest metrics (measure blocks) — plain unit tests produce no metrics.
3. Regenerate the bundle with `xcodebuild test` on the currently selected Xcode.
4. Check `xcrun xcresulttool help get test-results` lists `metrics` for your Xcode version.

import subprocess

def metrics_available(bundle: str) -> bool:
    r = subprocess.run(
        ["xcrun", "xcresulttool", "get", "test-results", "metrics", "--path", bundle, "--compact"],
        capture_output=True, text=True,
    )
    return r.returncode == 0

try:
        extract_metrics(result_path)
except RuntimeError as e:
    if "xcresulttool" in str(e):
        log.warning("no metrics in %s; skipping (only performance tests produce metrics)", result_path)
    else:
        raise

When it happens

Trigger: Running the metrics extraction against an .xcresult that contains no metrics payloads (tests ran without performance measurement); a corrupt or non-metrics bundle; an Xcode whose xcresulttool lacks the metrics subcommand.

Common situations: CI running the script on every test result although only XCTest performance tests (measure {}) produce metrics; Xcode downgrade/upgrade changing the metrics export format.
