A new major version (3.0.0) of XUnit plugin has been released in January 2021: https://github.com/jenkinsci/xunit-plugin/releases/ I didn't have an issue when I upgraded the plugin from version 2.4.0 to 3.0.0. But I started to have this error at the end of a build and I guess it appeared only after having modified the configuration of the Jenkins jobs with JJB: ERROR: Build step failed with exception java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The tools section is required. at org.jenkinsci.plugins.xunit.XUnitProcessor.<init>(XUnitProcessor.java:139) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.xunit.XUnitPublisher.perform(XUnitPublisher.java:204) at jenkins.tasks.SimpleBuildStep.perform(SimpleBuildStep.java:123) at hudson.tasks.BuildStepCompatibilityLayer.perform(BuildStepCompatibilityLayer.java:80) at hudson.tasks.BuildStepMonitor$1.perform(BuildStepMonitor.java:20) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractBuildExecution.perform(AbstractBuild.java:803) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractBuildExecution.performAllBuildSteps(AbstractBuild.java:752) at hudson.model.Build$BuildExecution.post2(Build.java:177) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractBuildExecution.post(AbstractBuild.java:697) at hudson.model.Run.execute(Run.java:1932) at hudson.model.FreeStyleBuild.run(FreeStyleBuild.java:43) at hudson.model.ResourceController.execute(ResourceController.java:97) at hudson.model.Executor.run(Executor.java:429) Build step 'Publish xUnit test result report' marked build as failure When looking at the configuration of the job from the Web UI, the XUnit plugin was enabled but left "unconfigured": no file to look at. Apparently, JJB is sending a XML config that is not understood by XUnit plugin anymore. I guess I didn't have any issue before updating the Jenkins jobs with JJB because when upgrading XUnit plugin from 2.4.0 to 3.0.0, Jenkins migrated the config to the new format. From what I see when analysing the generated XML from JJB and the one from Jenkins after having configured a job manually, a sub-element has been renamed, from 'types' to 'tools'. I suspect this is caused by this commit: https://github.com/jenkinsci/xunit-plugin/commit/aa47ac57d (XUnitBuilder class had this line: @XStreamAlias("types")) So here, I simply picked 'tools' or 'types' for the sub-element and depending on the plugin's version in both the builder and the publisher parts. I'm only using the publisher but I guess the problem is the same with the builder. Tests have been adapted to verify both versions <3.0.0 and >=3.0.0.

README
Jenkins Job Builder takes simple descriptions of Jenkins jobs in YAML or JSON format and uses them to configure Jenkins. You can keep your job descriptions in human readable text format in a version control system to make changes and auditing easier. It also has a flexible template system, so creating many similarly configured jobs is easy.
To install:
$ pip install --user jenkins-job-builder

Cloning:
git clone https://opendev.org/jjb/jenkins-job-builder.git
Install pre-commit from https://pre-commit.com/#intro in order to run some minimal testing on your commits.
A virtual environment is recommended for development. For example, Jenkins Job Builder may be installed from the top level directory:
$ virtualenv .venv
$ source .venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r test-requirements.txt -e .

Writing a patch
We ask that all code submissions be pep8 and pyflakes clean. The easiest
way to do that is to run tox before submitting
code for review in Gerrit. It will run pep8
and
pyflakes
in the same manner as the automated test suite
that will run on proposed patchsets.
When creating new YAML components, please observe the following style conventions:
- All YAML identifiers (including component names and arguments) should be lower-case and multiple word identifiers should use hyphens. E.g., "build-trigger".
- The Python functions that implement components should have the same name as the YAML keyword, but should use underscores instead of hyphens. E.g., "build_trigger".
This consistency will help users avoid simple mistakes when writing YAML, as well as developers when matching YAML components to Python implementation.
Unit Tests
Unit tests have been included and are in the tests
folder. Many unit tests samples are included as examples in our
documentation to ensure that examples are kept current with existing
behaviour. To run the unit tests, execute the command:
tox -e py34,py27
- Note: View
tox.ini
to run tests on other versions of Python, generating the documentation and additionally for any special notes on running the test to validate documentation external URLs from behind proxies.
Installing without setup.py
For YAML support, you will need libyaml installed.
Mac OS X:
$ brew install libyaml
Then install the required python packages using pip:
$ sudo pip install PyYAML python-jenkins
