[FIXED] Jenkins Job fails when pytest test fails

Issue

Just wanted to explore pytest and integrating it into Jenkins. My sample pytest test cases are

def a(x):
    return x+1

def test_answer():
    assert a(2) == 3

def test_answer2():
    assert a(0) == 2

I then generated a standalone pytest script which I run in Jenkins, generating an xml to be parsed for results.

As test_answer2 fails, the Jenkins job also fails. I'm assuming this is because the exit code returned is non-zero. How would I go around this, i.e the Jenkins job doesn't even if 1 or more tests do indeed fail. Thanks

Solution

If you are calling this test execution in a batch file or shell script or directly using the command execution in Jenkins. You can follow the below way:

Windows:

<your test execution calls>

exit 0

Linux:

set +e

<your test execution calls>

set -e

This will ignore the error if at all it is called with in the batch scripts and the Jenkins will show status as successful.
