I know how to run tests via a Jenkins job and how to output custom XML results in JUnit specification which are then loaded/visualized by a post-build step to get this nice fancy trend graph.
Now I have a lot of these simple testresults xmls, that are old. They are also produced by a different process, not a Jenkins job. I only want to use Jenkins to visualize them and get the graphical representation. From here I know that Jenkins is hardcoded to reject xml files that are older than 1000ms: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.hudson.user/30138
It will then tell me this: "Test reports were found but none of them are new. Did tests run?"
However, is there no way to do it? Never thought this would be a problem.
Cheers
EDIT: Cool idea, thank you. I am on windows but did a 'touch' equivalent like so:
import os
for f in files:
# 'touch' equivalent like in unix
temp = open(f, "w")
temp.write("")
temp.close()
Jenkins shows me the graph now, however instead of interpreting the XMLs content, it just tells me that I have 350 failures (since I have 350 test result log files) and this error message for each failure:
"Stacktrace
Test report file C:\Documents and Settings\myUsername.jenkins\jobs\testjob\test-reports\TEST-TestScript-20130528125706.xml was length 0"
What does that have to mean ...
