How to Publish Test Results in Azure DevOps

Question

I have created the below YAML file with the PublishTestResults task to display the mocha test results in Azure DevOps portal

# Node.js
# Build a general Node.js project with npm.
# Add steps that analyze code, save build artifacts, deploy, and more:
# https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/devops/pipelines/languages/javascript

trigger:
- master

pool:
  vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'

steps:
- task: NodeTool@0
  inputs:
    versionSpec: '10.14.1'
  displayName: 'Install Node.js'

- script: |
    npm install
    mocha test --reporter mocha-junit-reporter
    npm test
  displayName: 'npm install and test'

- task: PublishTestResults@2
  condition: succeededOrFailed()
  inputs:
    testRunner: JUnit
    testResultsFiles: '**/TEST-RESULTS.xml'

- task: ArchiveFiles@2
  displayName: 'Archive $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)'
  inputs:
    rootFolderOrFile: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)'
    includeRootFolder: false
    archiveFile: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/node.zip'

- task: PublishBuildArtifacts@1
  displayName: 'Publish Artifact: drop'

but whenever I run the build I am getting the following warning

"No test result files matching **/TEST-RESULTS.xml were found."

The main motive is to display the mocha test results separately in a dashboard or a test tab. So that we don't have to check the test task in build process to see the test results.

And when you run those tests locally, do you think it does create test result files named TEST-RESULTS.xml? — jonrsharpe
Hi @vigneshramesh, The PublishTestResults task default search path is $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory), in the next task, we could see that you archive the Root folder $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory), could you please check the node.zip file and ensure that it contain the file TEST-RESULTS.xml? Please check it and then kindly share the result here. — Vito Liu
Hi @vigneshramesh, Just checking in to see whether this issue is still blocking you now? Any update for this issue? — Vito Liu

I encountered same issue, After trying bunch of things could solve it as below.

Step 1. Update package.json

Include in scripts section:

"test": "cross-env CI=true react-scripts test --env=jsdom
--testPathIgnorePatterns=assets --reporters=default --reporters=jest-junit"

Include below in jest config or jest section in package.json

"jest-junit": {
    "suiteNameTemplate": "{filepath}",
    "outputDirectory": ".",
    "outputName": "junit.xml"
}

Run npm run test locally and see if junit.xml is created.

Step 2. In Azure Pipeline YAML file

Include an Npm task with custom command as below

- task: Npm@1
  displayName: 'Run Tests'
  inputs:
    command: 'custom'
    workingDir: "folder where your package.json exists"
    customCommand: 'test'

Task to publish Results

- task: PublishTestResults@2
  displayName: 'Publish Unit Test Results'
  condition: succeededOrFailed()
  inputs:
      testResultsFormat: 'JUnit'
      testResultsFiles: '**/junit.xml'
      mergeTestResults: true
      failTaskOnFailedTests: true
      testRunTitle: 'React App Test'
