Can you share the newman command which you have used to execute. My guess is you have used newman run <collectionname> -r <htmlname.html> for the default reports archive directory and lack of write permissions to the folder is what causing the issue. – Vamsi Ravi

I had a similar issue. For me the Windows Batch command was failing at some point. Apparently it is still trying to generate the HTML report but then it fails.

When the Windows Batch command is running correctly (result = 0) the HTML report is generated correctly.

Maybe you can try to simplify the Windows Batch command and try if the report will generate and copy to the Jenkins server.
