After upgrading to Xcode 16.4, the navigation arrow icon in the Report Navigator is no longer appearing for failed test cases within XCResult bundles. This icon, which allows developers to directly navigate to the specific line of code that caused a test failure, is now missing. This significantly hinders the debugging process for test automation engineers.

Details: Xcode Version: 16.4 (issue started after upgrade) Test Framework: XCTest Test Environment: iOS simulators Execution Method: The tests are executed on a Jenkins CI/CD server XCResult Analysis: The generated .xcresult bundle is downloaded from the Jenkins server and opened locally on a Mac also running Xcode 16.4.

Observed Behavior: The navigation arrow icon is missing, and there is no direct way to jump to the failure line from the report.

This issue appears to be a regression introduced in Xcode 16.4, as the navigation arrow was consistently present in previous versions. Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.

Hello!

The test report has received an overhaul as of Xcode 15. When you open your result bundle in your workspace, you'll be able to find the jump buttons to navigate to the source code in the test case details screen. To get to the test case details screen, you can double click on the corresponding failed test on the Summary screen, or by double clicking into the test in the Tests Outline screen. On either the activities tab or the runs tab, the jump button will appear when you hover over the callstack row. You can also navigate to the source by clicking on the View Source button in the header of the test case details screen.

See the WWDC23 video Fix Failures Faster for a tour of the test report - https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10175/
