Question

Added a Publish test results task in Azure DevOpsCI/CD pipeline, test were successfull, but after running the test it complaints about ##[warning]No test result files matching **/test-*.xml were found. Could someone please advise on how can we resolve similar problem ?
Publish Test Results task : configuration
Test result format= JUnit
Test results files= **/test-*.xml
Search folder = $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)
Test results title = Cypress Test Results
note: I have try adding the search folder path as follows: C:\agent_work\r5\a\drop\ui-tests\cypress
package.json to run the tests
"scripts": {
"test": "cypress run --record --key <key value here>"
}
My directory path in server:
C:\agent_work\r5\a\drop\ui-tests\cypress

My friend, I was facing the same issue on Azure DevOps.
In my case, the folder where the xml files were generated was reports on the root of the repo, that depends on how you got configured Junit on your cypress.json file
So In my case, the solution was changing this on azure-pipelines.yml
testResultsFiles: "results/*.xml"
searchFolder: $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)
So that's the entire setup of the testing pipeline
# Node.js
# Build a general Node.js project with npm.
