Jenkinsfile: publish test results even if test step fails

In my Jenkinsfile I have a stage Test where I run a npm test command step as well as a junit step to archive test results.

stage('Test') {
  steps {
    sh 'npm run test-ci'
    junit 'test-results.xml'
  }
}

How can I use try/finally correctly to run the junit step even if the sh 'npm run test-ci' step fails?

Solution

  • You want to use the post stage, https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/syntax/#post.

    pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
      stage('Test') {
        steps {
          sh 'npm run test-ci'
        }
      }
      post { 
        always { 
          junit 'test-results.xml'   
        }
    }
}
