The HTML Publisher Plugin is generating an incorrect URL for the published HTML reports. Instead of using the actual file name from the Index page[s] pattern, it creates a directory with a modified name, leading to broken links.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Install Jenkins: Install and configure a Jenkins instance.
- Install HTML Publisher Plugin: Install the HTML Publisher Plugin from the Jenkins Plugin Manager.
- Create a Job: Create a new freestyle job in Jenkins.
- Configure Build Steps: Add build steps to generate HTML reports (e.g., run a test suite that produces HTML output). Ensure the generated reports are placed in a directory named "report" within the build artifacts. In this example, the report file is named "byteblower_20250123_054647.html" and is located in job/<job name>/<build_no>/artifact/report/byteblower_20250123_054647.html.
- Configure HTML Publisher:
- In the "Publish HTML reports" section, configure the following:
- HTML directory to archive: report/
- Index page[s]: byteblower_*.html
- Index page title[s] (Optional): Byteblower Report
- Report title: Byteblower Report
- In the "Publish HTML reports" section, configure the following:
- Run the Job: Trigger the job to run.
- Verify Results:
- Go to the job's build page and navigate to the "Published Reports" section.
- Observe the generated URL for the HTML report. It should be in the format: http://<jenkins-server>/job/<job-name>/<build-number>/report/
- However, the url generated by the plugin is "http://localhost:8080/job/<job-name>/<build number>/Byteblower_20Report/"
Question: Why is the string "Byteblower_20Report" appended? is this configurable?
We are trying to perform automation, so need to check whether this is a bug or an expected behavior.
