Jenkins fails to find SureFire Reports - jenkins

How do i make jenkins locate this testng-results.xml?
Thanks,

Look into Jenkins Console Output, it should report where the build is running (so called WORKSPACE) and where TestNG Results Plugin attempts to locate the results file:
The path to the TestNG results file must be relative to the WORKSPACE and have the syntax of Ant FileSet
If you're uncertain regarding how to properly build the path to the test artifacts - post the full paths to WORKSPACE and the testng-results.xml / emailable-report.html and we will help you to come up with the correct definitions.
In the meantime you could use wildcard paths like:
**/testng-results.xml
so Jenkins will scan its WORKSPACE recursively looking for the testng-results.xml file in all available locations
Your install command also looks suspicious, normally you should not be putting your test artifacts to the Maven repository so you might want to use mvn test or mvn verify instead.

Jenkins - Selenium : Trying to get access to testng failed.xml.? Where will this file be located when scripts are ran through jenkins

Currently it consumes so much time to rerun the filed test cases from Jenkins in My LOCAL MACHINE.And most of the test would pass locally .
Is there anything I can do to cut short the time ?
TestNG generates all of the artifacts viz.,
Html reports
Emailable report
JUnit styled xml reports
TestNG XML reports
testng-failed.xml
by default in the output directory of your project. If its not defined, TestNG defaults to test-output folder.
When tests are run via build tools such as maven wherein you leverage the surefire plugin, then this output directory gets configured to point to target/surefire-reports directory.
So your testng-failed.xml if it gets generated, will be available in your $WORKSPACE\target\surefire-reports directory (Here $WORKSPACE represents your Jenkins job's workspace)

How to define POM location in Jenkins that is installed on a remote PC

I have jenkins installed on a remote machine. How can I point my POM location in Jenkins. If I give the POM.xml location as C:\Automation\pom.xml I am getting the error no such file exists.
Started by user anonymous
Building in workspace C:\Users\Administrator\.jenkins\workspace\RegressionTestJob
Parsing POMs
ERROR: No such file C:\Automation\pom.xml
Perhaps you need to specify the correct POM file path in the project configuration?

Your pom should be in your workspace, like how you would build your project in an IDE e.g. eclipse and when you build your project Jenkins will find the pom on its own in the workspace and build the project
Incase you still wish to specify the location you can use the -f option
mvn -f PomFile.xml
Hope it helps :)

Jenkins TestNG plugin does not fetch results from the test-results.xml file

In my project workspace, the test-results.xml file exists inside the target\surefire-reports\testng-results.xml directory. But Jenkins fails to read the XML file and gives below error on console.
TestNG Reports Processing: START
Looking for TestNG results report in workspace using pattern: **\target\surefire-reports\testng-results.xml
Did not find any matching files.
To ensure the file isn't too old, I had checked that the test-results.xml (and other files) belong to the latest test run. The Jenkins server is running on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
I'm running my tests in this manner: My project root directory has a run_tests.sh script which looks like this:
#!/bin/bash
if [ "$1" = "" ]; then
echo "Please provide a valid suite XML file name."
else
mvn clean
mvn compile
mvn clean test -Dsurefire.suiteXmlFiles="$1"
fi
I just pass the suite XML file name as a parameter to this script in Jenkins (execute shell).
Please help.
I found the solution for this.
Go to Configure of your Job
in General Tab, you may find
Advanced Button, Click on this
Check the check box of "Use custom
workspace", under this you see the Directory text box, here you copy
your Selenium Workspace Folder, for example mine is
"E:\eclipse\eclipse-workspace\WebDriveTest\"
Scroll down the page
under the Post-build Actions, Publish TestNG Results, TestNG XML
report pattern : give like this
"**/target/surefire-reports/testng-results.xml" (check this path in
the same workspace).
I hope this will help you!.
You should be using / instead of \ (since you mentioned that your Jenkins is running on a UNIX box)
Krishnan, in the testng-users Google Group, pointed out that it could be an issue with my Jenkins project workspace, and it was the same.
I changed the default workspace in my Jenkins project.
So I've added the path "$HOME/myWorkspace/myProject/" in my Jenkins project workspace, and "**/target/surefire-reports/testng-results.xml" in my TestNG setting in the same Jenkins project, and it works!
Thank you Krishan for your help.
Please see my answer in another post here, it should be very clear.
In short, it is caused by the current directory was changed to the default Jenkins workspace, you need set your custom workspace in the Job's Config.
I agree with Krishnan Mahadevan usage of '\' instead of '/' while providing the path for TestNG Report also solved my problem.
Extremely important thing to note here:
When providing path for Root POM in the build section '\' is used
C:\Users\harsh\eclipse-workspace\ProjTwo3\pom.xml
When providing path for TestNG XML report pattern in Publish TestNG Result section
'/' is used
C:/Users/harsh/eclipse-workspace/ProjTwo3/target/surefire-reports/testng-results.xml

Jenkins TestNG plugin not displaying the results

I am using the Ant to build my project and run the testng tests. I am using jenkins to call the Ant targets to run the TestNG tests. Also have installed the TestNG plugin on jenkins running on same machine where my project is.
On completion of the Jenkins job, I am getting following and TestNG results are not generated.
C:\Users\Administrator.jenkins\jobs\Intel EAMP Automation\workspace>exit 0
TestNG Reports Processing: START
Looking for TestNG results report in workspace using pattern: test-output/testng-results.xml
Did not find any matching files.
Finished: SUCCESS
My project folder is at location: E:\Project Folder\Framework\Project
which also has build.xml and testng.xml file along with the test-output folder(containing testng-results.xml file).
Please suggest how to configure jenkins to show the TestNG results...
As explain here, you have to use forward slash instead of back slash on Windows.

Getting output from remote hudson builds

I have recently added several Hudson agent machines to a working controller.
Some of the builds have result files (Doxygen output, Boost unit test results, cppcheck) which are published using the relevant plugins.
If these builds run on the controller, the output files are published successfully, but if they run on an agent, the build fails because the files cannot be found.
The plugins seem to be looking for the output files on the controller, when of course, they are on the agent.
Is there a way to fix this?
Plugins used:
- Jenkins Cppcheck Plug-in V1.2
- Doxygen Plugin V0.9
- HTML Publisher plugin V0.6
Edit:
Tried archiving suggestion, but I can't get it to work. cppcheck.xml is archived correctly and exists in the relative directory ../lastSuccessful/archive/cppcheck.xml
Hudson log:
Archiving artifacts
[Cppcheck] Starting the cppcheck analysis.
[Cppcheck] No cppcheck test report file(s) were found with the pattern
'../lastSuccessful/archive/cppcheck.xml' relative to
'/home/hudson/.hudson/jobs/1.11-IntegrationDebug/workspace'.
Did you enter a pattern relative to the correct directory?
Did you generate the XML report(s) for Cppcheck?
[Cppcheck] Parsing throws exceptions. No cppcheck test report file(s) were
found with the pattern '../lastSuccessful/archive/cppcheck.xml' relative to
'/home/hudson/.hudson/jobs/1.11-IntegrationDebug/workspace'.
Workaround: copy artifacts into your workspace and publish from there.
