Jenkins & JUnit : Path to XML impossible to set

Question

The question may sound silly, but I haven't found how to configure the XML report path in the Post-build Junit task after an hour of manipulations. I generate the JUnit test report (the XML file) here :

C:\Program Files\Jenkins\jobs\UPWSP\workspace\up\UPWSP\current\06-Java Unit Testing\junit\TESTS-TestSuites.xml

And the job using the XML has its worskpace at this path :

C:\Program Files\Jenkins\jobs\UPWSP - Tests JUnit\workspace\

The JUnit report post-build task seems to take only relatives path and I already tried with

../../UPWSP/up/UPWSP/current/06-Java Unit Testing/junit/TESTS-TestSuites.xml

**../../UPWSP/up/UPWSP/current/06-Java Unit Testing/junit/TESTS-TestSuites.xml

It always tells me '..' is not a valid path, and an absolute path won't work either. Any idea of how I should use it?

Answer 1

AFAIK, the path for the JUnit XML file has to be a sub-directory of your project. It should not be outside the job's workspace. Once you have created a directory inside workspace, say for example, junit-test, then the following should work as expected when specified in Test report XMLs section: junit-test\TESTS-TestSuites.xml

Answer 2

You can use wildcards like **/target/surefire-reports/*.xml or, in your case, **/junit/*.xml
