Why is a job artifact not being added in the pipeline? - sonarqube

UPDATE: added when:always under artifacts fixed the issue, since the unit tests were failing, so the coverage folder was not created as an artifact
When unit tests are run, a coverage folder is created. I want to save that coverage folder as an artifact in the pipeline so that sonarqube can access the reports in that folder to give an accurate coverage report. When I push up any code, I'm not seeing the coverage folder being saved as an artifact after the unit tests are run in the pre-build stage, so it is not being passed along to sonarqube in the build stage.
This is the yml file:
stages:
- Pre-Build
- Build
- etc.
Unit Tests:
stage: Pre-Build
allow_failure: true
script:
- npm ci
- npm run test
artifacts:
paths:
- coverage
when: always
SonarQube:
stage: Build
needs: ['Unit Tests']
except:
refs:
- tags

try add slash in dir-path
Unit Tests:
stage: Pre-Build
allow_failure: true
script:
- npm ci
- npm run test
artifacts:
paths:
- coverage/
when: always

How to merge artifacts across jobs for the same stage in Gitlab CI?

In Gitlab CI artifacts are segregated based on the jobs which generated them and hence when downloading, you can only download it on a per-job basis.
Is there a way to download all the artifacts, or pass on the artifacts to some other stage and upload from there? Basically some way to merge all the artifacts of a stage.
A possible scenario where it can be needed: Let's say in a stage deploy, I am deploying my project on 10 different servers, using 10 different parallel jobs. Each of these generates some artifacts. However, there is no way to download them all from the UI.
So does anyone know of a workaround? I am not looking for API based solution, but instead UI based or editing the CI yaml file to make it work.
You can create a "final" (package) stage in your pipeline which combines all the artifacts together, using the artifacts syntax.
For example:
stages:
- build
- package
.artifacts_template:
artifacts:
name: linux-artifact
paths:
- "*.txt"
expire_in: 5 minutes
build:linux-1:
extends: .artifacts_template
stage: build
script:
- touch hello-world-linux-1.txt
build:linux-2:
extends: .artifacts_template
stage: build
script:
- touch hello-world-linux-2.txt
build:linux-3:
extends: .artifacts_template
stage: build
script:
- touch hello-world-linux-3.txt
package:
stage: package
script:
- echo "packaging everything here"
needs:
- build:linux-1
- build:linux-2
- build:linux-3
artifacts:
name: all-artifacts
paths:
- "*.txt"

Gitlab CI include is not triggering

Expecting:CI need to trigger build and test then it should scan for dependencies vulnerability
Current Behaviour CI trigger but only run build and test not running Dependency-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml
stages:

- test
build:
stage: build
script:
- echo "Building"
test:
stage: test

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Security/Dependency-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml
You can try moving it to the top of the file. Works for me.
Can you toss the error in your post? Are you getting something like this if you use the CI linter? https://gitlab.com/amishpanda/cheatsheet/-/ci/lint
Found errors in your .gitlab-ci.yml:

SonarCloud code coverage remains 0.0 in GitHub Actions build

I have setup CI for a .NET Core solution using GitHub Actions. When code is pushed to the master branche, the solution is build, the unit tests are run and code analysis is run with SonarCloud.
The code analysis step is actually performed by sonarcloud-github-action.
The quality gate in SonarCloud does not pass because the coverage percentage is 0.0% (for both new as existing code). I'm generating code coverage reports using Coverlet. The coverage.opencover.xml file is succesfully generated after test execution for each unit test project.
In the sonar-project.properties file I'm referencing these files as follows:
sonar.cs.opencover.reportsPaths=**\coverage.opencover.xml
But apparently the code coverage reports are recognized but not processed by the SonarCloud scanner.
In the log of my GitHub Actions workflow, I do see these warnings:
INFO: Parsing the OpenCover report <path>/coverage.opencover.xml
INFO: Adding this code coverage report to the cache for later reuse: <path>/coverage.opencover.xml
...
WARN: Missing blame information for the following files:
WARN: * <path>/coverage.opencover.xml
WARN: This may lead to missing/broken features in SonarQube
In trying to solve the 'Missing blame information' warning, I added the coverage files to the exclusions in my SonarCloud project: **/coverage.opencover.xml but that didn't solve the issue. The warning still appears and code coverage is still 0.0%.
Any hints to get this going?
[edit]:
My workflow in GitHub Actions looks like this:
name: .NET Core
on: [push]
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout#v1
- name: Setup .NET Core
uses: actions/setup-dotnet#v1
with:
dotnet-version: 2.2.108
- name: Build with dotnet
run: dotnet build src/<solution>.sln --configuration Release
- name: Unit Tests
run: dotnet test src/<solution>.sln /p:CollectCoverage=true /p:CoverletOutputFormat=opencover
- name: SonarCloud Scan
uses: sonarsource/sonarcloud-github-action#master
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
SONAR_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}
`
I had a similar problem getting the coverage of a Typescript project to work. Without your sonar logs I just can guess but the problem was that the paths inside the lcov.info where absolute path from github something like SF:/home/runner/work/YoutRepoName.. and Sonar was starting a Docker container and set the workdir to /github/workdir and therefore could not locate the files from the lcov.info.
Check your logs if you find something like
2019-11-28T15:36:34.9243068Z WARN: Could not resolve 2 file paths in [/github/workspace/test/unit/coverage/lcov.info], first unresolved path: /home/runner/work/jobreporter/jobreporter/dispatcher/index.ts
2019-11-28T15:36:34.9243445Z INFO: Sensor SonarJS Coverage [javascript] (done) | time=8ms
So for the time being i had to replace all folder namens in the locv.info with /github/workdir.
In my case i used
- name: 'Run npm lint and test'
shell: bash
run: |
pushd .
npm ci
npm run lint:ci
npm run test --if-present
sed -i 's+/home/runner/work/jobreporter/jobreporter+/github/workspace+g' test/unit/coverage/lcov.info
sed -i 's+/home/runner/work/jobreporter/jobreporter+/github/workspace+g' eslint-report.json
After that the coverage was reported correctly.
Maybe that helps

I had the same problem with a Node build, where the paths in the lcov.info are not the same as the one in the Github Action docker container.
To work around it, I do my builds not by setting up Node directly in the worker, but by using a Docker Action, so that my paths stay the same in all Actions. If you dig in the logs, you can see precisely how the docker actions are run, and the available environment.
For reference, my actions look like this
- name: 'yarn install'
uses: docker://node:10.16.3-buster
with:
args: yarn install
env:
NPM_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}
CI: true
The downside is that my builds are a bit slower, but all my actions are run in Docker, which I find cleaner.
To get past this error you need to run your tests with the --blame parameter.
Here is my GitHub action for building and pushing to SonarCloud.
name: Build and run tests

push:
branches: [ master ]
pull_request:

Gitlab pipeline test stage to fail AND create artifacts anyway

I have a gitlab pipeline running on a windows machine with Windows 7 and powershell 4.0.
The .yaml has the typical 3 stages: build, test and deploy.
For the second stage I want to perform some simple tests that generate a log file which should be available after the test stage finishes.
Here the script section from the test:
script:
- '$exitCode = (start-process C:\app_versions\app_20181211\bin\app.exe -PassThru -Wait).ExitCode'
- 'cat .\TestLogs\BasicFunctionsTestPlan.log'
- 'exit $exitCode'
artifacts:
paths:
- .\TestLogs
expire_in: 1 year
Here I had one problem, after the test run has finished the stage finishes always successfully even if the test themselves failed. Then I had to force the script exit with an error code in case the application tells me that the tests failed.
This caused the second problem: the artifacts link do not get created even they are available (my test produce it anyway).
Probably if I knew how to tell gitlab that the test failed in a more clean way, the artifacts would be available anyway.
I agree that the log file is not an artifact but I would like to keep that file in order to check how the tests have performed, maybe there is a better way to save this file.
Thanks in advance for your help!
EDIT:
Looks like there were more people having the same issue here, maybe it helps understanding better the problem.
I had the same question, but it's easily solved:
You can use artifacts:when to upload artifacts on job failure or despite the
failure.
artifacts:when
source: Gitlab CI yaml reference: artifacts:when
Introduced in GitLab 8.9 and GitLab Runner v1.3.0.
artifacts:when is used to upload artifacts on job failure or despite the
failure.
artifacts:when can be set to one of the following values:
on_success - upload artifacts only when the job succeeds. This is
the default.
on_failure - upload artifacts only when the job
fails.
always - upload artifacts regardless of the job status.
Example:
To upload artifacts only when job fails:
job:
artifacts:
when: on_failure
allow_failure
BTW: you can tell Gitlab CI to continue to the next job after a job failure with allow_failure: true
source: Gitlab CI yaml Reference: allow_failure
job1:
stage: test
script:
- execute_script_that_will_fail
allow_failure: true
So combined it could look something like:
job1:
stage: test
script:
- execute_script_that_will_fail
allow_failure: true
artifacts:
when: always # or 'on_failure'
paths:
- resulting_artifacts

Gitlab CI - Publish Failed Test Results to Pages

I'm creating a simple java project using Gradle which generates a test report (i.e. BDD Cucumber, JUnit, etc.). This project is deployed to Gitlab where the project is built as part of the Gitlab CI process.
My JUnit reports are generated in the folder build/reports/tests/test/ relative to the project path (as an index.html and some CSS files, etc.).
How do I configure my .gitlab-ci.yml to publish the content of build/reports/tests/test/ to the Gitlab Pages even after my test cases fail?
This is what I have in my .gitlab-ci.yml: (My repo can be found HERE)
Version 1: Doesn't publish anything to pages
image: java:8-jdk
stages:
- test
before_script:
- export GRADLE_USER_HOME=`pwd`/.gradle
test:
stage: test
script:
- mkdir public
- ./gradlew test
artifacts:
paths:
- build/reports/tests/test/
only:
- master
after_script:
- mv build/reports/tests/test/* public
Version 2: Doesn't execute the deploy stage since test has failed.
image: java:8-jdk
stages:
- test
- deploy
before_script:
- export GRADLE_USER_HOME=`pwd`/.gradle
test:
stage: test
script:
- ./gradlew test
artifacts:
paths:
- build/reports/tests/test/
pages:
stage: deploy
dependencies:
- test
script:
- mkdir public
- mv build/reports/tests/test/* public
artifacts:
paths:
- public
only:
- master
I solved the issue by adding the when: always at the end of my pages stage. It now executes the stage regardless of exit code from the dependent stage.
