Using Gradle 1.7 with Jenkins and when a build fails due to a test failure, the link to the test report is malformed

When using Gradle 1.7 inside a Jenkins CI server, Jenkins emails the Gradle 1.7 console output to report and build failure due to a unit test failure, however the link contained in the console output is malformed. For example, this is what appears in the console/email:

file://<http://my_server:8079/job/my_project/ws/my_project/build/reports/tests/index.html>

I’m not clear why it’s including the “file://” reference, but I don’t believe that is something Jenkins is adding and would seem to be improperly output by Gradle.

Here’s an example of the Gradle console output shown in the email:

16:04:23.476 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter]
 16:04:23.477 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
16:04:23.477 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter]
 16:04:23.477 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] * What went wrong:
16:04:23.477 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] Execution failed for task ':unitTest'.
16:04:23.478 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] > There were failing tests. See the report at: file://<http://my_server:8079/job/my_project/ws/my_project/build/reports/tests/index.html>
16:04:23.479 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter]

What does your raw console log for the job look like for this build within Jenkins?

http://my_server:8079/job/my_project/failing_build_number/consoleText

That will let you know for sure whether it is Gradle or Jenkins creating that output.

I rather suspect that jenkins is rewriting the file path in the email as it recognizes that it is a file in the workspace being referenced and it just isn’t checking for “file://” prepending the path.

You’re right, it appears to be a Jenkins issue not interpreting the console output correctly.
