Fail Jenkins build when xUnit tests do not pass - jenkins

I have Jenkins building my C# .NET Core api project. I added some xUnit tests and included a powershell script inside of my Jenkins build with the "dotnet test" command to execute the tests.
That all works well and the tests are run and i can see the output in the Jenkins console.
The problem is that if i have failing tests nothing happens - jenkins goes merrily along and finished up the build process and reports it as a success.
How can i get it to fail the build?
Is there a response from the 'dotnet test' command?
I know there are xUnit Jenkins plugins but they all seem to revolve around "display the results of xUnit tests". Which is not really what i am after. I want to ACT on the results of the tests, not just see them in fancy html.

You should check for the return code from dotnet test command. It returns 0 if all tests were successful and 1 if any of the tests failed. Unfortunately it's not documented but was confirmed in this issue

Generate JUnit / TestNg like reports manually in Jenkins

I have test cases as executables ( windows exe ) and I am running all the test cases (exe) in Jenkins. Each test case produce output text file and at the end of the testcase, there is a formatted string like "TestCaseName PASSED/FAILED".
I can see from the build status if all the test cases were successful or not but if any of them fails, the build also says it fails. I want to use Jenkins Test Results Analyser or any other plugin to show as a table to see in which build which test case failed. The Jenkins Test Results Analyser works fine with jUnit or TestNg test reports. I was to thinking to generate manually such reports as post build step or if there is any other tool available?

Jenkins build is getting succeed even though Response Assertion fails

I am using Jmeter for API's functional testing. For this, have added Response Assertion.
Even though it's failing but Jenkin's build appeared as Succeed.
Is there any way to mark Jenkin build as Failed when our Assertions are failed?
Please help out on this, let me know if any more info is required.
It depends on how do you launch JMeter in Jenkins, if it's just a command-line non-GUI execution like jmeter -n -t test.jmx -l result.jtl then it doesn't produce any error exit status code and this is something Jenkins checks.
The options are in:
Migrating to JMeter Maven Plugin which provides jmeter-check-results goal
Migrating to Taurus which provides Pass/Fail Criteria subsystem
And finally you can add a JSR223 Listener to your Test Plan and force JMeter to exit by adding the next code in the "Script" area:
if (!prev.isSuccessful()) {
System.exit(1)
}

NUnit-report does not mark build as error

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.

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!

YSlow Phantomjs and Jenkins jobs failing, but analysis successful

I'm going through the tutorial on YSlow and Phantom js in Jenkins here: http://yslow.org/phantomjs/
Everything appears to be working great except the Jenkins builds are failing. I think this is due to the violations that YSlow is finding (6 for the particular site I am measuring). I'd rather have the build be successful (or unstable) vs. failed though
Is that possible with this or will I have to resort to something like the postgroovy or text finder plugin?
This is the console output:
phantomjs.exe yslow.js -i grade -t 50 --format junit http://www.somesite.com 1>yslow.xml
D:\Apps\Jenkins\workspace\YSlow_Test>exit 6
Build step 'Execute Windows batch command' marked build as failure
Thanks
Any non-zero exit code at the end of your Execute Windows batch command build step will result in build step being marked as failure.
To have the build step marked as success, you need an exit code of 0. I don't know anything about "yslow" or "phantomjs" and why they are giving you exit code of non-zero, but from "batch" side of things, you need only write exit 0 at the end of your build step if you want to overwrite the exit code of your phantomjs command.
You can then use Text Finder plugin to parse the console log and mark build as unstable when certain conditions are met.
Reading over this answer, Configuring yslow on Jenkins looks like you need TAP plugin to have the functionality of unit testing marking the build as unstable automatically
