Jenkins / JENKINS-50524 robotframework plugin throws exception on parsing output.xml Issue Type: Bug Assignee: jpiironen Components: robot-plugin Created: 2018-04-02 20:33 Priority: Major Reporter: Jessica Zhang When a build fails, pybot will never be called because it's not necessary since the build failed. Because of this, there isn't a need to process robotframework reports since the output directory will never exist. So the idea is to not do anything upon a build failure. Here is the unnecessary exception: Robot results publisher started... -Parsing output xml: Failed! /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/XXXXX/workspace/my_robot_results does not exist. at org.apache.tools.ant.types.AbstractFileSet.getDirectoryScanner(AbstractFileSet.java:483) at org.apache.tools.ant.types.AbstractFileSet.getDirectoryScanner(AbstractFileSet.java:460) at hudson.plugins.robot.RobotParser$RobotParserCallable.invoke(RobotParser.java:65) at hudson.plugins.robot.RobotParser$RobotParserCallable.invoke(RobotParser.java:51) at hudson.FilePath.act(FilePath.java:920) at hudson.FilePath.act(FilePath.java:893) at hudson.plugins.robot.RobotParser.parse(RobotParser.java:46) at hudson.plugins.robot.RobotPublisher.parse(RobotPublisher.java:218) at hudson.plugins.robot.RobotPublisher.perform(RobotPublisher.java:241) at hudson.tasks.BuildStepMonitor$1.perform(BuildStepMonitor.java:20) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractBuildExecution.perform(AbstractBuild.java:745) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractBuildExecution.performAllBuildSteps(AbstractBuild.java:709) at hudson.model.Build$BuildExecution.post2(Build.java:182) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractBuildExecution.post(AbstractBuild.java:658) at hudson.model.Run.execute(Run.java:1734) at hudson.model.FreeStyleBuild.run(FreeStyleBuild.java:43) at hudson.model.ResourceController.execute(ResourceController.java:88) at hudson.model.Executor.run(Executor.java:231) Build step 'Publish Robot Framework test results' changed build result to FAILURE Finished: FAILURE It would be great to have an option to mark the build as failed or success whether or not the output_dir exists... So a check box in settings that says something along the lines of.... "Don't mark build as failed if output_dir doesn't exist. Add Comment

After seeing the output parsing exception, I tried running command "rebot output.xml". The log.html and report.html looked fine. Due to this exception, Robot results/test summary are not shown on Jenkins. Could this exception be handled more gracefully?

What makes matter worse is that, due to this exception, Robot results/test summary are not shown on Jenkins. Could this exception be handled more gracefully?

Re: robotframework plugin throws exception on parsing output.xml

After seeing Despite the output parsing exception, log and report html files generated from the build looked normal. I tried running also manually ran command "rebot output.xml". Both log.html and report.html files generated after running the command looked fine as well . I am not sure why this exception is thrown. What makes matter worse is that, due to this exception, Robot results/test summary are not published or shown on Jenkins build page . Could this exception be handled more gracefully?

Re: robotframework plugin throws exception on parsing output.xml

Hi, Is this issue still relevant for you? It seems that the xml is somehow corrupt in a way that robot's parser library can handle, but the stax parser used by the plugin can not.
