How do I actually configure and use the plugin

[els-pnw]

I have installed the plugin, as available from the Jenkins plugin page (instead of building from source). In installing 0.5 of the report portal plugin and restarting Jenkins I am unclear where to go next. The only place I see an option for configuring or using the plugin is from the post-build actions. Here I have configured:

Rest endpoint: http://reportportal_example:8080/ui/#api Project: test_project

When I click check connection I get a successful message; however, when I run the build ('build now') the job will fail and no results are posted. The Readme.md file is a bit lacking here, can you provide any additional details on where to go next.

What do you see in logs of your job build?

Hey DzmitryHumianiuk,

I am able to configure the report portal plugin but can you help me out in using it.

[DzmitryHumianiuk]

@ShivaPotlapelli https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqzFfVV0OvM first 30 seconds. nothing changed from that time.

can you show job configurations? is this plug can work in pipeline?

[DzmitryHumianiuk]

plugin is pretty outdated. we might think of killing it.

[katcaola]

@DzmitryHumianiuk Would you write another plugin that is more up to date? What reasons are there for deprecating it?

[DzmitryHumianiuk]

@katcaola there is no such a plans.

The reason it has super low priority is simple: it doesn't bring much of benefits.

In a meanwhile, users realizes that they don't need it at all, since they check results right in ReportPortal. And don't need this step in the middle, to see results at Jenkins page. If feel like you are missing it, because you still have a habit to see results at Jenkins pages first.

When you go deeper with RP usage, you check results only in RP, skipping Jenkins pages. Cause you need Jenkins only to execute the job.

The next level of adaptation will be understanding that you you want to call Jenkins actions from ReportPortal screen. That is the moment when such type of requests appears https://github.com/reportportal/reportportal/issues/143

that's why we focusing on features in RP, rather then on Jenkins plugin.

@DzmitryHumianiuk Does this mean you don't need to install the jenkins plugin, if you want to send results/logs from a jenkins build to RP?

[DzmitryHumianiuk]

@katcaola yes, it is. there is no need in any jenkins plugin.

RP adapter connects to test cases (testing engine, like junit, testNG, nunit, etc.) And there is no any difference where you execute results, at local env, remote env, or with jenkins.

RP adapter will send data directly into RP server.

[katcaola]

@DzmitryHumianiuk Are there any READMEs or examples of the RP adapter that I can read about? Thanks :smiley:

[DzmitryHumianiuk]
