How to call properly xUnit on Jenkins under Linux - unit-testing

Question

I followed the answer of Alastair Harrison for the following question
but Jenkins gives me a lengthy output of errors.
The relevant part of my code goes as follows:
stage('Testing'){
steps{
dir('chidotu'){
dir('build'){
dir('tests'){
sh 'ctest -D ExperimentalTest --no-compress-output'
}
}
}
}
}
post {
always {
// Archive the CTest xml output
archiveArtifacts (
artifacts: 'chidotu/build/tests/Testing/**/*.xml',//In this path a xml file is generated
fingerprint: true
)
xunit (
testTimeMargin: '3000',
thresholdMode: 1,
thresholds: [
skipped(failureThreshold: '0'),
failed(failureThreshold: '0')
],
tools: [CTest(
pattern: 'chidotu/build/tests/Testing/**/*.xml',
deleteOutputFiles: true,
failIfNotNew: false,
skipNoTestFiles: true,
stopProcessingIfError: true
)]
)
// Clear the source and build dirs before next run
deleteDir()
}
When Jenkins executes the pipeline, I get:
100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 20
Total Test time (real) = 1.68 sec
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // dir
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // dir
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // dir
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // stage
[Pipeline] stage
[Pipeline] { (Declarative: Post Actions)
[Pipeline] archiveArtifacts// this comes from the line concerning to: archiveArtifacts (
Archiving artifacts
Recording fingerprints
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // stage
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // node

As far as I understand. Jenkins is mounted in a linux server, I don't know if the solution goes in that direction.

Answer 1

Seems to be that you just don't have xUnit Plugin installed. So, you need to install this plugin and the pipeline should be running correctly.
