Getting valid format xml

Question

I am creating an xml file using python which is giving out the following output.

<?xml version="1.0" ?> <testsuites> <testsuite> <name>ABC</name> <id>9022e01f-8b0c-4a47-86de-b41192116149</id> <tests>2048</tests> <failures>0</failures> <log> </log> <testcase> <Name>HomePage</Name> <Pass>420</Pass> <Fail>0</Fail> <Log> </Log>

Desired output is this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <testsuites> <testsuite name="ABC" tests="%%%%%%%" failures="%%%%%%%%" failed="%%%%%%%" id="39fd646d-526a-c4f4-10bb-05366a09b2ea" log=""> <testcase name="TTTTTTTTTTTT" log="+ SSSSSSSS TTTTTTTTTTTT&#xD;&#xA;" />

This is the code I am using

root = ET.Element("testsuites") doc = ET.SubElement(root, "testsuite") ET.SubElement(doc, "name").text = "ABC" ET.SubElement(doc, "id").text = str(uuid.uuid4()) ET.SubElement(doc, "tests").text = f"{total_tests}" ET.SubElement(doc, "failures").text = f"{failed}" ET.SubElement(doc, "log").text = " " tree = ET.ElementTree(root) doc2 = ET.SubElement(doc, "testcase") for na, tot, pa, fa in zip(tcname, tctotal, tcpasses, tcfails): ET.SubElement(doc2, "Name").text = f"{na}" #ET.SubElement(doc2, "Total Tests").text = f"{tot}" ET.SubElement(doc2, "Pass").text = f"{pa}" ET.SubElement(doc2, "Fail").text = f"{fa}" ET.SubElement(doc2, "Log").text = " " xmlstr = minidom.parseString(ET.tostring(root)).toprettyxml(indent=" ") with open("Test.xml", "w", encoding='utf-8') as f: f.write(xmlstr)

How can I get the desired format?

If you don't want sub-elements, don't use SubElement...

The SubElement convenience function accepts a dict of attributes.

import uuid from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET root = ET.Element("testsuites") suite = ET.SubElement( root, "testsuite", { "name": "ABC", "id": str(uuid.uuid4()), "tests": "123", "failures": "456", "log": "", }, ) case = ET.SubElement( suite, "testcase", { "name": "ttt", "log": "lll", }, ) print(ET.tostring(root, "unicode"))

outputs (prettified here)

<testsuites> <testsuite name="ABC" id="6eaa04eb-b915-43ba-b949-7be1f0af9d4a" tests="123" failures="456" log=""> <testcase name="ttt" log="lll"/> </testsuite> </testsuites>
