gitlab Cypress generate allure report - continuous-integration

Question

I have my .gitlab-ci.yml file as follows:
image: cypress/base:14.16.0
stages:
- test
test:
stage: test
script:
- npm install
- npm run scripts
where scripts is --> cypress run --spec cypress/integration/UI/myScript.feature
when adding another command after the scripts parameter to generate allure report, The gitlab pipeline is throwing me an error of JAVA home path not being set to generate allure report.
ERROR: JAVA_HOME is not set and no 'java' command could be found in your PATH
So I updated my script to something like this:
image: cypress/base:14.16.0
stages:
- test
- allure
test:
stage: test
script:
- npm install
- npm run clean:allure
- npm run scripts
allure_report:
stage: allure
when: always
image: timbru31/java-node
dependencies:
- test
script:
- npm install
- npm run generate-allure-report
artifacts:
when: always
paths:
- cypress/reportsAllure/allure-report/
- cypress/reportsAllure/allure-results/
where generate-allure-report is --> allure generate cypress/reportsAllure/allure-results --clean -o cypress/reportsAllure/allure-report
But here empty reports are generated. does anyone know what artifacts I need to pass from the first stage onto next in order to generate allure report ?

Answer 1

This works for me, but I'm using the default folder locations so you'd need to change those same as artifacts paths and append -o folder/allure-report where appropriate
stages:
- test
- allure
- deploy
cache:
key: ${CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG}
paths:
- node_modules
.download_history: &download_history
after_script:
- apt-get install -y unzip
- mkdir backup && cd backup || true
- "curl --location --output report.zip --request GET \"https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/${CI_PROJECT_ID}/jobs/artifacts/master/download?job=pages\" --header \"Authorization: Bearer ${CI_DEPLOY_TOKEN}\" || true"
- (unzip report.zip) || true
- cd ../
- (cp -r backup/public/history/ allure-results/history/) || true
