Has anyone any different answer? Jenkins is installed on Ubuntu 12.04 under tomcat. I have configured it to make a build with CVS repository. When i am trying to make a new build it fails due to the below error.

Am i missing any user permissions?

I've tried giving full read-write access to

/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/jenkins/jobs/Data_Ingestion_Tool/builds/

folder but it still doesn't help :(

i don't know how to give permissions to a logged in jenkins user. Can anybody help me in resolving this issue? Thanks in advance!

If you ruled out disk space and permissions, then the problem is probably configuration.

The error comes because the HTML publisher plugin copied 0 files. It could just be that your input configuration was incorrect.

Can you check your worskpace (/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/jenkins/jobs/Data_Ingestion_Tool/workspace/DataIngestionTool/target/site/jacoco) and check that the files you want to copy are under that path ?

If not, what do you have under /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/jenkins/jobs/Data_Ingestion_Tool/builds/2013-08-19_12-28-39/ ?

In my case misconfiguration of HTML publisher caused the problem

publishHTML([
  allowMissing: false,
  alwaysLinkToLastBuild: false,
  includes: '**/*.png',     <---------------------- this line
  keepAll: true,
  reportDir: 'reports/',
  reportFiles: 'broker_portal_uat_index.html',
  reportName: 'HTML Report',
  reportTitles: 'FH BP'
 ])

Once I changed it includes to includes: '**/*' the problem was gone

Hi - this issue has been around and not touched for a year or more. In an effort to try and focus on issues which are still present, I am resolving these issues for now.

If you feel that the issue is still present, please feel free to re-open / comment. I'll be closing off any issues that haven't had any re-opening or comments by the end of the month.

Thanks for reporting these issues - hopefully you are still using HTML Publisher and its working for you but, if not, let me know so that I can focus on issues that are causing you problems today
