I installed latest xunit plugin. Try latest stable jbehave (3.9) from link! and latest beta (4.0-beta-11) unsuccessfully. Furthermore i tried to add dtkit plugin. Have Jenkins 1.588 installed. I looked into source code, seems that they used a package which doesnt exists anymore link! What to do?

Answer 1

JUnitReporter was no solution. It only was made for eclipse. Only Solution was to change plugin by hand. I modified pom: changed xunit-plugin version from 1.6 to 1.9 and adapt imports. if someone has same issue here is hpi file: jbehaveplugin-modified

Answer 2

Have you followed the order required by JBehave plugin installation as described here: https://github.com/jbehave/jbehave-core/tree/master/jbehave-jenkins-plugin? It requires to install XUnit BEFORE JBehave plugin.

Also, I'd suggest to try with and older version from Jenkins, the last LTS, for example (1.580.1).

Answer 3

I created PR 118 to fix this issue. See also JBEHAVE-1160 for the Jira issue I created for this.
