Unable to publish results using performance plugin for jenkins

[zakka_jacob]

Hi All,

I was trying to run a plain vanilaa jmeter script through jenkins. I am unable to find the report section in any of the versions of the performance plugin. At the  psot build step, we are unable to find the "Add new report" section which has the drop down of jmeter,jemtercsv,junit,jmeter summarizer,wrk.

I tried downloading older versions of the plugin but do not see the "Add new report" option available in the post build configuration. We even tried restarting jenkins, configure the build andreconfigure build, but with no luck. Please find the snapshots of the job that i have configured. It is named My_Jenkins_Job.

The pain point right now is that my build fails with the below message:

C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\apache-jmeter-3.1\apache-jmeter-3.1\bin>jmeter -n  -t  C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Self_Service_NewSite_Launch\Self_Service_NewSite_Launch\Selfservice_API\Script\Self_Service_Perftest.jmx

Cannot detect file type because of error: Failed to copy C:\Users\Administrator\.jenkins\jobs\${ITEM_FULLNAME}\builds\35\temp\jenkins.jtl to C:\Users\Administrator\.jenkins\jobs\Selfservice_API_Tests\builds\35\temp\jenkins.jtl

Build step 'Publish Performance test result report' changed build result to FAILURE

Finished: FAILURE

When i browse through the build folder i find an empt jtl file as well. The new version of the plugin has very limited documentation of the usage as it is used for blazemeter,tarus etc;

I am also attaching the job config in the attachment section

Your help would be appreciated

As for the drop-down, the newer plugin versions now auto-detect the file format.

The error message suggests that the plugin fails to find the jtl file (I guess that ITEM_FULLNAME is not defined in that context).
Also, it's not necessary to specify the full path, but a relative path (in the Workspace) like temp/jenkins.jtl or **/jenkins.jtl should do.

The JMeter output suggests there should be 4 samples (2 of which failed), so perhaps check the JMeter script if it actually writes to jenkins.jtl
