After changing the home directory of Jenkins from /var/lib/jenkins/ to /home/jenkins, htmlpublisher plugin is archiving to the old directory and not the updated path /home/jenkins
Update 06/06, 17:58 PST:
complete removal and re-installing does NOT work
[JENKINS-51757] After chaging the home directory of Jenkins, htmlpublisher plugin is archiving to the old directory and not the new path /home/jenkins
r2b2_nz , I'm an OS noob and made it a symlink from /home/jenkins to /var/lib/jenkins. Do you know how I can get htmlpublisher-plugin to not archive the .html file to the original /var/lib/jenkins/*/.html file ? I tried making it a hard link, but that obviously doesn't work for directories, so I'm a little stuck.
Update:
- the .html report does exist in both places, but the icon that links to the htmlreport does not show on the left panel. How can I make it link correctly ?

Got quite similar issue - windows jenkins node, but jenkins folder is on D: drive
Job is publishing two things, first works fine, the other fails.
writeFile file: 'changes.html', text: SummaryChangesLog publishHTML([allowMissing: false, alwaysLinkToLastBuild: true, keepAll: true, reportDir: env.WORKSPACE, reportFiles: "changes.html", reportName: 'Summary Changes', reportTitles: ''])
above does publish single file and does not fail, while does not work too:
[Pipeline] publishHTML 00:21:16 - 31 Oct [htmlpublisher] Archiving HTML reports... 00:21:16 - 31 Oct [htmlpublisher] Archiving at BUILD level d:\jenkins\workspace\Interfaces\interfaces_21dev_ukcam to C:\Jenkins\jobs\Interfaces\jobs\interfaces_21dev_ukcam\builds\17\htmlreports\Summary_20Changes
the c drive path is not existing and its pretty odd, there is no jobs folder in jenkins at all, it looks like path mangled with url
the other publish does the folder and it fails
publishHTML([allowMissing: false, alwaysLinkToLastBuild: true, keepAll: true, reportDir: TestsLocation, reportFiles: "Results.html", reportName: 'Test Results', reportTitles: ''])
where TestsLocation is set to
\\\\companyftp\\Week\\Interfaces21dev-Test-Results
with outcome:

added a comment - Ok, after longer investigation it is not related - just error output is messing up
this error actually means that source location is empty.

added a comment - It is solved, thanks 
Thanks rkim12 for raising the issue. However I'm a little confused - from reading your description it appears that you have moved Jenkins from /var/lib/jenkins to /home/jenkins and the screenshot you have provided seems to show it writing to the correct /home/jenkins location? Are you able to clarify the issue you are seeing? (I assume /home/jenkins is not just a symlink to /var/lib/jenkins as that would obviously make the results available at "both" locations)
