Build failed due to failed JUnit tests

The junitLogPublisher task supports a "mayFailPattern" attribute. We move the test classes that may fail in a suite called AllTestsMayFail.java and then include the "AllTestsMayFail" as the pattern when the JUnit results are published for that suite. This will allow tests to fail in that suite and not affect the overall build status.

Hi,

I have renamed the test suite class to: SmokeAllmayFailPattern.java and
the build.xml includes:
<junitLogPublisher
filePath="${dir.junit}/TEST-com.tietoenator.terup.agile.test.SmokeAllmayFailPattern.xml"
buildResultUUID="${buildResultUUID}"
repositoryAddress="${repositoryAddress}" userId="***" password="****"
mayFailPattern="true"/>

However, the build still fails.

Did I missed something?

It seems like your may fail pattern should be "SmokeAllmayFailPattern".

That is exactly what I have - see my previous post.

Or am I blind to see some simple difference?

I see this in your post...

mayFailPattern="true"/>

It should contain the pattern that should be ignored. It's the test suite name that the pattern is being compared against not the name of the log file. The JUnitLogPublisherTask can support publishing an entire directory of log files so it will allow any test suite it finds that matches the pattern to fail. The Javadoc for this task that is located in \jazz\buildsystem\buildtoolkit\task-javadoc\index.html explains how this parameter as well as the others are expected to be used.

I see now.

Thanks,
