Allure report path value in Jenkins - Post-build action can't be an environment variable

[ibalosh]

Context

Jenkins version: 2.150.2
Allure plugin version: 2.27.0
Allure commandline version: 2.9.0

Problem description

My Jenkins configuration has two environment variables:

• ALLURE_RESULTS_FOLDER - pointing to for example /home/tests/gen/allure-results/job_name
• ALLURE_REPORT_FOLDER - pointing to for example /home/tests/allure_report/job_name

Each job runs multiple tests and creates unique folder for results and generated report.
Report and Result folders are retrieved from Jenkins global environment variables list.

How the job setup would look like in jenkins can be found on screenshot.

The problem is that when I use environment variables for Restults and Report, I can see on the machine where Jenkins runs that results and report are created correctly in specific folders. The problem is that the artifact is not packed correctly, so when I try to view report in Jenkins it doesn't work (seems archived report is empty). It seems environment variable is ignored on archiving the generated report.

If I don't use environment variable ALLURE_REPORT_FOLDER , but enter something like: /home/tests/allure_report/job_name in field Report Path , then artifact is created correctly and I can view report through Jenkins.

seems like duplicate of jenkinsci/allure-plugin#219

@ibalosh feel free to submit a pull request with fixes, it should be like a few lines of code

[ibalosh]

ok, will check it out, could you point me to Jenkins plugin, is it https://github.com/jenkinsci/allure-plugin/tree/master/src/main/java/ru/yandex/qatools/allure/jenkins ?

[baev]

The issue is still there with v2.28.1

Is this issue fixed or not? @baev, thanks for your help

[158068672]

Hi @ibalosh,
have you solved this issue by any other way?

[ibalosh]

hey @158068672 ,

no :( I took a look back then at the code, but I could not figure out where the issue is.
I had to set folder for each job in jenkins without use of environment variables to work around the issue

[158068672]

@ibalosh I use my own python script to do the post-build allure report step to walk around this issue. The only insufficient is I need to open the generated html myself instead of viewing it in Jenkins. Hope it help.

[ibalosh]

thats a good idea, thanks @158068672 !
