NUnit-report does not mark build as error - jenkins

Within my freestyle Jenkins-job I´m executing unit-tests via the "execute Windows batch-command"-step:
call "C:\Program Files (x86)\NUnit.org\nunit-console\nunit3-console.exe" MyAssembly.dll
call SomeOtherProcess
As there are tests that fail, I´d expected the build to fail as well. However the test-publishing-step for NUnit markes the build as unstable:
Build step 'Publish NUnit test result report' changed build result to UNSTABLE
If I´d remove the SomeOtherProcess-line from my batch-script, everything works fine and the errors produced by nunit are reported as error in the build-process.
I read a similar issue for the JUnit-test-reporter (Jenkins JUnit Plugin reports a build as unstable even if test fails). Obviously that reporter does not even support failing the build. I´m not sure if the same applies to the NUnit-reporter as well.

The plugin set the result to UNSTABLE because the option, by default, failedTestsFailBuild is set to false.
You can control the behavior applies of NUnit, setting failedTestsFailBuild to true. When you call from a scripted or declarative pipeline.
The issue is the GUI doesn't reflect all the options available for this plugin. There is a PR opened to include this option inside the freestyle pipeline, you can vote up or ask the status of this PR.
To change to an error you need to catch the unstable result and set it to failure using a plugin or a scripted or declarative pipeline.

Jenkins - Builds always unstable when some test failed even though it must fail

I am using the Junit plugin for the tests report. My problem is most of the builds will mark as unstable which should be failed. Is there any way to mark the build as failed when having more than one test failed?
Example1:
Example2:
Example3:
As of now, there is no directly configurable threshold option for the JUnit plugin in Jenkins (Here is the open feature request). However, you can add an if condition after reporting the test results and set the build status.
def junitTestSummary = junit testResults: "**/*.xml"
// junitTestSummary.[failCount, totalCount, skipCount, passCount]
if(junitTestSummary.failCount>0){
error("Failing the pipeline. Because, there are ${junitTestSummary.failCount} tests failed")
}

JMeter & Jenkins - passing jmeter parameters to downstream build

The Setup - A jenkins job using jenkins parameters testApp and testEnv. The Execution Batch looks like this:
C:\jmeter\apache-jmeter-3.2\bin\jmeter.bat -n -t
C:\JMeter\Scripts\API_scripts\%testApp%.jmx -Jtestenv=%testEnv% -JtestApp=%testApp% -JtestBrowser=NA -l
C:\AUTO_Results\jtl\%testApp%_%testEnv%.jtl
Post-build Actions
Console output (build lob) parsing with a global rule so that the Failures that are logged in the Jenkins Console window will consider the JMeter script failing. (discussed Jenkins shows JMeter script failure even though the script actually passed)
Triggered parameterized build - this is a separate jmeter script that updates a wiki page with either PASS/FAIL and uploads the JMeter report.
The Issue - How do I get the downstream Triggered build to use the parameters from the upstream script? I set the Parameter = Current build parameters but it's not applying those. Also, I wont know the value of the testResult parameter until the upstream build finishes. I tried adding %testResult%=PASS to the 'Predefined parameters' box
As per Parameterized Trigger Plugin page:
The parameters section can contain a combination of one or more of the following:
a set of predefined properties
properties from a properties file read from the workspace of the triggering build
the parameters of the current build
Subversion revision: makes sure the triggered projects are built with the same revision(s) of the triggering build. You still have to make sure those projects are actually configured to checkout the right Subversion URLs.
Restrict matrix execution to a subset: allows you to specify the same combination filter expression as you use in the matrix project configuration and further restricts the subset of the downstream matrix builds to be run.
So you basically need to copy over the parameters you would like to have in the "downstream" job from the current one.
As a workaround to current performance plugin limitations you can consider running JMeter using Taurus tool as a wrapper, it has flexible and powerful pass/fail criteria subsystem which will basically return to Jenkins non-zero exit code triggering build failure in case of issue in the test. If everything goes well Taurus exit code will be 0 which is considered successful by Jenkins. Check out How to Run Taurus with the Jenkins Performance Plugin article for more details.

groovy script for using MSTEST jenkins plugin to generate test report

I am using Jenkins MSBUILD plugin in a Freestyle project which is just fine. I have to specify the location of .TRX file and the test report gets generated.
Now I want to use groovy command so I can take advantage of Jenkins pipeline. can someone help me with batch/groovy command to use .TRX as a input and generate test report in Jenkins UI? I tried below but no success.
mstest.exe /publishresultsfile:"C:\Path_to_file\TestResult.TRX"
Below error occurs
Invalid switch "/publishresultsfile".

How can I publish NUnit test results using Jenkins Pipeline?

Trying to use the nifty Jenkins Pipeline, I had problems finding out how to publish NUnit test results.
I am able to run the tests by specifying the following command in the pipeline script:
stage 'Test'
bat '"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\NUnit 2.6.4\\bin\\nunit-console-x86.exe" "ProjectName\\bin\\Release\\UnitTests.net.dll"'
But how to make Jenkins "publish" the test results is not obvious. The Snippet Generator only suggests junit, and that does not seem to work.
I used nunit plugin version 0.21 and was able to publish results using
stage("PublishTestReport"){
nunit testResultsPattern: 'TestResult.xml'
}
(TestResult.xml is at the root of jenkins workspace in this above example)
Investigating the NUnit plugin for Jenkins led me on to this issue, where I found the solution:
step([$class: 'NUnitPublisher', testResultsPattern: 'TestResult.xml', debug: false,
keepJUnitReports: true, skipJUnitArchiver:false, failIfNoResults: true])
Adding this to the pipeline script worked for me!
However, it seemed the following should also work (but at the present, apparently, it does not): Using the Snippet Generator, select this:
step: General Build Step
Publish NUnit test result report
This generates the following in the Pipeline script:
step <object of type hudson.plugins.nunit.NUnitPublisher>
This fails!

Jenkins - Build Status

I've created one Jenkins job to execution 5 test cases and it works, but not in terms of build creation.
Build status is coming as SUCCESS even if there is any failure test
cases during execution.
For instance, 2 test cases out of 5 got failed during my recent run, but the build status has become SUCCESS!!!
Please help me in correcting this.....
Note: I'm using Jenkins 1.617 & ANT 1.9.4 for the integration.
If you are executing junits in jenkins, default status is unstable for jenkins job and success for maven/ant build.
If you are using an ant build add the below property to junit task to make the build failed failureproperty="test.failed". If you want to fail the build even if one junit fails, add property haltonfailure="yes"
If you are using maven add the argument -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=false
