[FIXED] after Maven job build success, Jenkins displayed failure with failed to parse POM

Issue

Background info:

1. I have a simple maven project on Mac using eclipse, doing ui testing.

2. setup jenkins server on localhost:8080 (with latest jenkins version)

3. configure Root POM as where the pom.xml is located locally(/Users/username/eclipse-workspace/ui-test/pom.xml)
4. It can build successfully with maven locally
5. also build successfully on Jenkins

However, after the jenkins shows BUILD SUCCESS, it "Waiting for Jenkins to finish collecting data" then displays:

"ERROR: Failed to parse POMs java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: /Users/username/.jenkins/workspace/UI-Automation-Job/Users/username/eclipse-workspace/ui-test/pom.xml"

I'd appreciate your help. Thanks.

Solution

From the error:

/Users/username/eclipse-workspace/ui-test/pom.xml is not inside /Users/username/.jenkins/workspace/UI-Automation-Job/Users/username/eclipse-workspace/ui-test/;

We can learn Jenkins file to find your pom.xml, Please go through your job configuration and find out where did you input this string /Users/username/eclipse-workspace/ui-test/pom.xml

Check below most possible places: Root POM and Archive files, Recommend to use relative path, but absolute path.

Jenkins will create a folder on Jenkins Slave(on which you job executing) to place your project source code, stuff generated during job running, etc.

If you use relative path, Jenkins will automatically use Job's workspace folder as parent folder.
