Test status not getting updated on Jira-Zaphyr when running test from Zapi-Jenkins

Question

I have Jira including their plugin Zephyr and ZAPI. I am running my code from Jenkins as shown in the video. My code is in Java+TestNG and I have not added a Junit Plugin for Jenkins. My tests runs fine but console output shows:

Build result is SUCCESS null Problem parsing JUnit test Results. Error parsing surefire reports. Please ensure "Publish JUnit test result report is added" as a post build action Build step 'Publish test result to Zephyr for JIRA' marked build as failure Finished: FAILURE

On Jira it still shows Unexecuted.

Answer 1

The reason your Jenkins build is getting marked as failure is clearly specified in error report which is you haven't added JUnit plugin as post build action. Zephyr plugin uses testcases published by JUnit plugin to execute testcases on Jira.

Add plugin "Publish JUnit test result report" as post-build action and it should work.
