I'm building QA environment where test cases can be managed in TestLink and automated tests can be executed using Jenkins.

I have followed instructions in 'Jenkins TestLink Plug-in Tutorial' to execute automated tests.

http://tupilabs.com/books/jenkins-testlink-plugin-tutorial/en/

Jenkins successfully exectuted 'Test Current time' test case and its status is marked as 'Passed' in TestLink

When 'Test Current time' fails, it results in build failure (see Jenkins console output below) and failure is not reported to TestLink.
