Gitlab CI - Publish Failed Test Results to Pages

Question

I'm creating a simple java project using Gradle which generates a test report (i.e. BDD Cucumber, JUnit, etc.). This project is deployed to Gitlab where the project is built as part of the Gitlab CI process.

My JUnit reports are generated in the folder build/reports/tests/test/ relative to the project path (as an index.html and some CSS files, etc.).

How do I configure my .gitlab-ci.yml to publish the content of build/reports/tests/test/ to the Gitlab Pages even after my test cases fail?

This is what I have in my .gitlab-ci.yml: (My repo can be found HERE)

Version 1: Doesn't publish anything to pages

image: java:8-jdk

stages:
  - test

before_script:
  - export GRADLE_USER_HOME=`pwd`/.gradle

test:
  stage: test
  script:
    - mkdir public
    - ./gradlew test

  artifacts:
    paths:
      - build/reports/tests/test/
  only:
  - master

after_script:
  - mv build/reports/tests/test/* public

---

Version 2: Doesn't execute the deploy stage since test has failed.

image: java:8-jdk

stages:
  - test
  - deploy

before_script:
  - export GRADLE_USER_HOME=`pwd`/.gradle

test:
  stage: test
  script:
    - ./gradlew test

  artifacts:
    paths:
      - build/reports/tests/test/

 pages:
   stage: deploy
   dependencies:
     - test
   script:
   - mkdir public
   - mv build/reports/tests/test/* public
   artifacts:
     paths:
      - public

  only:
  - master

Answer 1

I solved the issue by adding the when: always at the end of my pages stage. It now executes the stage regardless of exit code from the dependent stage.
