Complete the code to publish JUnit test reports in a Jenkins pipeline.

Jenkins

post {
  always {
    junit '[1]'
  }
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using source code file paths instead of report XML files.

Forgetting to include the wildcard for XML files.

The junit step in Jenkins expects the path to the XML test report files. The pattern **/target/surefire-reports/*.xml matches the default location of JUnit reports generated by Maven.

Complete the code to archive JUnit test reports as artifacts after the build.

Jenkins

steps {
  archiveArtifacts artifacts: '[1]', allowEmptyArchive: true
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Archiving HTML reports instead of XML files.

Using incorrect file paths that do not exist.

The archiveArtifacts step archives files as build artifacts. To archive JUnit reports, use the XML files in the surefire-reports directory.

Fix the error in the Jenkins pipeline snippet to correctly publish JUnit test reports.

Jenkins

post {
  always {
    junit '[1]'
  }
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Ctarget/surefire-reports/*.xml

D**/target/surefire-reports/*.xml

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using HTML or TXT files instead of XML for JUnit reports.

Not using the recursive glob pattern when reports are in subfolders.

The junit step requires XML report files. Using HTML or TXT files will cause errors. The pattern **/target/surefire-reports/*.xml ensures all XML reports in any subdirectory are included.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to define a Jenkins pipeline stage that runs tests and publishes JUnit reports.

Jenkins

stage('Test') {
  steps {
    sh '[1]'
    junit '[2]'
  }
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Amvn test

B**/target/surefire-reports/*.xml

Cnpm test

Dbuild/test-results/test/*.xml

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using the wrong test command for Maven projects.

Publishing reports from incorrect file paths.

The sh 'mvn test' command runs the tests using Maven. The junit step then publishes the XML reports generated in the surefire-reports folder.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a Jenkins pipeline snippet that runs tests, archives reports, and publishes JUnit results.

Jenkins

stage('Test') {
  steps {
    sh '[1]'
    archiveArtifacts artifacts: '[2]', allowEmptyArchive: true
    junit '[3]'
  }
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Amvn test

B**/target/surefire-reports/*.xml

Dnpm test

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using different paths for archiving and publishing reports.

Running tests with the wrong command.

This pipeline stage runs tests with Maven, archives the XML reports as artifacts, and publishes the JUnit test results from the surefire-reports directory.
