jenkins html publisher: directory exists but failed copying to

Question

I\'ve tried the answer on Jenkins-Job fails but it didn\'t helped me.

Has anyone any different answer? Jenkins is installed on Ubuntu 12.04 under tomcat. I have conf

Answer 1

If you ruled out disk space and permissions, then the problem is probably configuration.

The error comes because the HTML publisher plugin copied 0 files. It could just be that your input configuration was incorrect.

Can you check your worskpace (/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/jenkins/jobs/Data_Ingestion_Tool/workspace/DataIngestionTool/target/site/jacoco) and check that the files you want to copy are under that path ?

If not, what do you have under /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/jenkins/jobs/Data_Ingestion_Tool/builds/2013-08-19_12-28-39/ ?

Answer 2

In my case misconfiguration of HTML publisher caused the problem

publishHTML([
  allowMissing: false,
  alwaysLinkToLastBuild: false,
  includes: '**/*.png',     <---------------------- this line
  keepAll: true,
  reportDir: 'reports/',
  reportFiles: 'broker_portal_uat_index.html',
  reportName: 'HTML Report',
  reportTitles: 'FH BP'
 ])

Once I changed it includes to includes: '**/*' the problem was gone
