Allure plugin doesnt generate report when running parallel execution in jenkins

I have trying to generate reports using allure plugin when running tests in parallel

When looking at the report output, I see nothing getting populated

Provide console output if related. Use --verbose mode for more details.

# paste output here

Provide test source code if related

exports.config = {
    tests: './specs/*_test.js',
    output: './output',

@auto-qa-git if you look in the screenshots that you posted, you can see your problem there but let me guide you through this:

• Allure is a wonderful and most commonly used reporter out there. This doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have quirks.
• One of the quirks is that the test results needs to be stored in a folder called ‘allure-results’. If this is not done, then allure will revert to storing the results in a temporary folder which you can also see in the screenshot you added of the allure serve command output.

Solution:

codecept.conf.js

allure plugin config:

    plugins: {
        allure: {
            enabled: true,
            outputDir: './output/allure/allure-results', // notice the path used here pointing to allure-results
        },

In your jenkins allure plugin config the path needs to be the same as above: “output/allure/allure-results”

I used a groovy file for my jenkins pipeline so here’s how my allure reports are generated:

    post {
        always {
            generateAllureReport(env.SUITE)
        }
        success {
            slackSend channel: env.NOTIFICATIONS_CHANNEL ?: '#some-slack-channel',
                      color: 'good',
                      message: getNotificationMessage('Success')
        }
        failure {
            slackSend channel: env.NOTIFICATIONS_CHANNEL ?: '#some-slack-channel',
                      color: 'danger',
                      message: getNotificationMessage('Failed')
        }
    }
}

def getNotificationMessage(buildStatus) {
    return "${env.JOB_NAME} - #${env.BUILD_NUMBER} ${buildStatus} after " +
        "${currentBuild.durationString.replace(' and counting', '')} (<${env.RUN_DISPLAY_URL}|Open>)"
}

def generateAllureReport(suite) {
    if(suite) {
        return script {
                    allure([
                        includeProperties: false,
                        jdk: '',
                        properties: [],
                        reportBuildPolicy: 'ALWAYS',
                        results: [[path: 'output/allure/allure-results']]
                    ])
                }
    }
}

Try this out and let me know if you need more help with this.

@GSasu Hi, thank you so much for your explanation. Earlier I tried this and it worked: I am using allure on local. No Jenkins at the moment. However, when I change to outputDir: ‘./output/allure/allure-results’ I am having the same issue as before. It is a faulty report (showing 0 Test Cases etc… even though several test cases did run). And I still see this line in the console: Is it only in codecept.conf.js that I have to specify the directory? And again - I am running my tests and using allure on local. I would go with what’s working now but I am having another problem which might be related: The issue that I am having is that when I run the test with parallel execution on say chrome and firefox, I get the results of only one. I do not get the report showing all test case results with the browser for each. I am aiming to have a report similar to this:

Could you help with this please? Thank you.
