jenkins error FATAL: Unable to find build script at C:\selenium tests for moveon\moveon4tests1\build.xml

Question

I am using Jenkins and Ant to run my selenium tests. It works fine when I run them on my local machine. Now I have a Jenkins server which is on a different location and I have to run my tests on that server. when I tried to run the tests on that server Its is failing because it couldn't find the build.xml file. can you please let me know how can I change the home directory path?

Answer 1

Are you using "Invoke Ant" in your Jenkins job configuration for the build step that executes your Ant build ? If so, the build file location is hidden away in the Advanced section - it's an annoying quirk of Jenkins.
