Hey! We recently tried the test splitting technique, and wanted to split them by timing-data. This does not seem to work with our setup. I’ll try to provide as much info as possible below. - Test split works fine if we use any other technique than `split-by=timings` - Test results are uploaded correctly - We use test suites (“[github.com/stretchr/testify/suite](http://github.com/stretchr/testify/suite)”), and I suspect is the output of the test results that is causing problems. I tried to see similar topics and people seem to have issues with “nested” tests. Thanks for the help 🙂 ```auto go list ./... | circleci tests run --command "xargs gotestsum --junitfile test-results/server.xml --format testname --" --split-by=timings --timings-type=file - store_test_results: path: test-results ``` ---

The issue is that we get this error : `No timing found for ....` ---

- Do you get that error on every file / test and on every run? - Do the test results you’re saving include filenames? IIRC, a lot of problems with test splitting on timing relates to not having the filename in the junit style output. I would double-check that everything lines up with the exact format mentioned [here](https://circleci.com/docs/parallelism-faster-jobs/#junit-xml-reports). - Semi-related: could also see if adjusting `--timings-type` changes the situation? ([Test splitting and parallelism - CircleCI](https://circleci.com/docs/parallelism-faster-jobs/)) ---

Looks like there is package name but not the file name. I’ll try to fix that. **Semi-related: could also see if adjusting `--timings-type` changes the situation?** I tried already all of them, without success 😕 Thank you Louis ---

So yeah I have search the internet to see how to include the `file` attribute that is indeed missing, but no luck. I am running the exact same command as is in the documentation (I tried with `gotestsum` and also just normal go test) Do you have some idea ? ---

Not sure. This GH issue has some stuff that might be worth trying: > > > Hi, > > CircleCI allows to split tests by timings using a JUnit XML report. Unfo…rtunately it requires \`testcase\` to have an \`file\` attribute in order to properly work as detailed in this \[CircleCI forum question\](https://discuss.circleci.com/t/split-by-timings-on-elixir-project-fails-to-find-stored-timings-possibly-missing-file-names-in-junit-xml/34813). I have confirmed it by manipulating the JUnit XML report output of \`gotestsum\`. I understand that \`file\` is not part of the JUnit XSD but it would really help if it could be added to the output if the user wanted it. What are your thoughts?
