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

Issue

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.

Solution

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.
