Hello everyone!
Thank you for creating this space and I’m glad to be a part of the Jenkins community.

I have the question regarding to post action fails in the Jenkins pipeline while storing html and junit reports. Generally, I have built a custom image in Docker based on the jenkins/jenkins official image and I’ve attached the extract of it that may be concerning to the reason of occurring errors:

WORKDIR /myapp
RUN mkdir /myapp/newman
COPY postman_collections/trello-rest-api-testing.json postman_collections/trello-rest-api-testing.json
COPY postman_collections/trello-rest-api-testing.json /newman/trello-rest-api-testing.json

I’ve tried varieties of settings post action in order to solve the problem but still encounter them.

This is how my post action looks like:

post {
    always {
      publishHTML(target: [allowMissing: false, alwaysLinkToLastBuild: false, includes: '**/*.png', keepAll: true, reportDir: '/var/jenkins_home/workspace/TrelloAPI_Newman_Pipeline/newman', reportFiles: 'htmlreport.html', reportName: 'HTML Report', reportTitles: '', useWrapperFileDirectly: true])      
      step(checksName: '', $class: 'JUnitResultArchiver', testResults: '/var/jenkins_home/workspace/TrelloAPI_Newman_Pipeline/newman/report.xml')
      mail(subject: 'Build Notification - ${currentBuild.currentResult}', body: 'The body', to: 'my_email@gmail.com')
    }
  }

There is how error message looks like:

[Pipeline] { (Declarative: Post Actions)
[Pipeline] publishHTML

ERROR: No test report files were found. Configuration error?
Finished: FAILURE

The reports named “trello-rest-api-testing-2024-01-27-09-10-05-462-0.html” and “newman-run-report-2024-01-27-09-10-05-464-0.xml” are stored in this directory: /var/jenkins_home/workspace/TrelloAPI_Newman_Pipeline/newman/
While the following directory doen’t exists: /var/jenkins_home/jobs/TrelloAPI_Newman_Pipeline/builds/111/htmlreports/

What I can do to solve that?
I’d be appreciated for any advice or tips that help me to figure this out.
Thanks in advance.

Use relative paths rather than absolute paths. The directory name for the workspace used by a Jenkins job depends on the agent that runs the job and other conditions at the time the job is started. When you use an absolute path, you are assuming the job always uses the same directory and always uses the controller. Both those assumptions will be invalid at some time.

Something like:

reportDir: 'newman'

Thank you so much @MarkEWaite for reply and editing my post.
I’ve tried using relative paths the same as you mentioned above, but the issue still occurring in publish HTML block.

I wonder what the reason of copying reports as I understood correctly from this directory

‘/var/jenkins_home/workspace/TrelloAPI_Newman_Pipeline@2/newman’
to ‘/var/jenkins_home/jobs/TrelloAPI_Newman_Pipeline/builds/119/htmlreports/HTML_20Report’

while former directory contains just a few reportes and latter directory doesn’t even exist (the number of builds, for example builds/119 is the last existed directory from the absolute path).

But maybe all those things may not making any sense because I missed out one significant thing in my pipeline and now it may be clearer to figure out the correct directory.
I mean, in general I’m persuing to run the Postman collection via Newman CLI runner and this how my shell command looks like after last change:

sh ‘’’
# Run the Newman command
newman run “https://api.postman.com/collections/id_of_collection?access_key=$POSTMAN_API_KEY” --env-var “Key=$KEY” --env-var “Token=$TOKEN” -d “Data/data_typys_to_test.json” --reporters cli,htmlextra,junit --reporter-htmlextra-export Reports/HTMLextra_report.html --reporter-junit-export Reports/report.xml ‘’’

After I added the highlighted command options, I can see the generated reports in the Reports directory.
So, right now I need to figure out what the appropriate directory to mention there to not occur the error notification.

Another thing is Recording junit report’s failure.
I’ve tried to find an appropriate snippet for JUntt report, and just one that I found was - junit: Archive JUnit-formatted test results, but it just generates me this output: junit “newman/report.xml” that causes additional error messages or I’ve just used it wrongly.

I assume, that if I figure out the right directory for reports then those errors should go.
