Extension says xml_tests_report is not enabled even after it is enabled about vscode-ceedling-test-adapter

Hope this can help : I had something similar and was also using gcov plugin. My gcov was configured with :

:gcov:
  :xml_report: FALSE

Changing this to :

:gcov:
  :xml_report: TRUE

Fixed the issue in my case. Maybe you can remove gcov to check ? I guess gcov default value is FALSE ?

I got this to work. The trick is to add a section for the xml_test_report plugin that defines the location of the xml report artifact.

:xml_tests_report:
  :artifact_filename: report_xunit.xml

You need that in addition to listing xml_tests_report in the list of enabled plugins.

I didn't have to do anything in the section for the :gcov: plugin. I'm not sure how that it got it working for you.

Thank you for contributing and posting a solution. The code which print the given error message is pretty simple.

Lines 284 to 293 in 4283fdf

	try {
	if (!ymlProjectData[':plugins'][':enabled'].includes('xml_tests_report')) {
	throw 'Xml report plugin not enabled';
	}
	} catch (e) {
	return `The required Ceedling plugin 'xml_tests_report' is not enabled. ` +
	`You have to edit your 'project.xml' file to enable the plugin.\n` +

I don't understand how adding a :xml_tests_report: section in project.yml fixed anything but I'm happy you found a workaround.
