I am using a Phing build script with Jenkins and would like to run it end to end on a job and capture all the reports. The problem is it stop building on a failed build step. Is there a way or a plugin that would continue the job even on failures?
Thanks
I don't know a lot about Phing but, since it's based on Ant, if the build step you are executing has a "failonerror" attribute you should be able to set it to false so that the entire build doesn't fail if the step returns an error.
Yes, use try, catch block in you pipeline scripts
example:
try {
// do some stuff that potentially fails
} catch (error) {
// do stuff if try fails
} finally {
// when you need some clean up to do
}
Or alternatively if you use sh commands to run these tests, consider running your sh scripts with the "|| true" suffix, this tells the linux sh script to exit with a result code of 0, even if your real command exited with an exit code.
example:
stage('Test') {
def testScript = ""
def testProjects = findFiles(glob: 'test/**/project.json')
if (!fileExists('reports/xml')) {
if (!fileExists('reports')) {
sh "mkdir reports"
}
sh "mkdir reports/xml"
}
for(prj in testProjects) {
println "Test project located, running tests: " + prj.path
def matcher = prj.path =~ 'test\\/(.+)\\/project.json'
testScript += "dotnet test --no-build '${prj.path}' -xml 'reports/xml/${matcher[0][1]}.Results.xml' || true\n"
}
sh testScript
