Go

We'll use gotestsum to generate the JUnit XML reports. gotestsum runs tests using go test --json and produces formatted test output, including support for the JUnit XML format.

1. Update your CI workflow to install gotestsum, create a directory for the JUnit XML files, and then use gotestsum to run the test suite.

This example project uses Github Actions for CI, so we're updating our CI script in the .github/workflows/ directory, and we're using GitHub Actions syntax.

First, we add a step to the CI workflow to install gotestsum. Then, before running the test suite, we create a directory for the JUnit XML files. And finally, we replace go test with the corresponding gotestsum command. The diff of these changes looks like this:
