Description

In 2.9.2 version of pytest for unexpectedly passed tests there was skipped tag with message in JUnit XML report like this:

<testsuite errors="0" failures="0" name="pytest" skips="1" tests="1" time="6.368">
    <testcase classname="test_example" file="test_example.py" line="127" name="test_example" time="0.22827982902526855">
        <skipped message="xfail-marked test passes unexpectedly">None</skipped>
        <system-out>
        </system-out>
    </testcase>
</testsuite>

But since version 3.0.0 skipped tag has gone:

<testsuite errors="0" failures="0" name="pytest" skips="1" tests="1" time="6.368">
    <testcase classname="test_example" file="test_example.py" line="127" name="test_example" time="0.22827982902526855">
        <system-out>
        </system-out>
    </testcase>
</testsuite>

So for now there is no way to distinguish passed and unexpectedly passed tests.

Research direction

Reproduce the example with pytest 2.9.2 and 3.0.0, focusing on an xfail-marked test that passes unexpectedly and its JUnit XML output. Compare the generated testcase elements; done when the report distinguishes unexpectedly passed tests with the skipped tag and message described in the issue.
