Same problem with freestyle project and multi-configuration project. Both for Allure installed in system and by Jenkins. Same versions.

Why can't the plugin use Allure installed in the system? Why does it need to install its own? (Which it fails to do properly.)

[wendywww]

Is this issue somehow related to my question? https://github.com/webdriverio/wdio-allure-reporter/issues/114 If anyone know how to fix it please let me know. Thx!

[klamping]

I think you can fix this by going to the tool configuration page (/configureTools/) and finding the "allure commandline" section. Then click "Add Allure Commandline" then give it a name and click "install automatically":

[taraspos]

Same problem here. Allure plugin doesn't resolve allure executable from path or ALLURE_HOME it works only if Allure Commandline installation is set :/

[vipinnambiar]

On the agent configuration setting,set the Allure installation home directory(without the "bin") should resolve this issue. That worked for me.

[taraspos]

@vipinnambiar yeah, I know, this works, but I still believe that it should work without this configuration if ALLURE_HOME is set. Thing is, I have many slaves that are configured automatically with allure installed and I can't use them until this configuration added.

[vipinnambiar]

Ok. I have only couple of slaves configured and don't have permissions to configure tools installations, they are managed by Devops Admin. Agree to your point, jenkins should resolve this using ALLURE_HOME instead of looking at the setup in tools configuration.

@Trane9991 I don't know if Allure Commandline installation is set :/, ":/" what this means ?

[taraspos]

@binbjz following, on the UI is:

[binbjz]

@Trane9991 I tried this solution, but it doesn't work. Allure version is 2.9.0

[wendywww]

@binbjz Is your jenkins job run with pipeline file? What i figured is, it needs stash/unstash for the report to be generated. https://github.com/jenkinsci/allure-plugin/issues/207

[ingdany]

I think you can fix this by going to the tool configuration page (/configureTools/) and finding the "allure commandline" section. Then click "Add Allure Commandline" then give it a name and click "install automatically":

Works fine, thank you!

somewhat reproduced.

Allure Command line 2.13.7 Allure plugin 2.30.2

Pre conditions: home directories for Jenkins agents and command line Tool Path mismatch, e.g. all hosts have tool home at /home/ci/tools and some agent host have /home/ci/agent/tools.

When configuring allure command line installation with Install automatically and Run shell command, the tool is installed at agent host properly, but when running allure step it breaks with NPE:

---

Tool Path: /home/ci/tools/ru.yandex.qatools.allure.jenkins.tools.AllureCommandlineInstallation/allure/allure-2.13.7

Installation Shell command

#!/bin/bash

set -x

ALLURE_VERSION=2.13.7
ALLURE_ARCHIVE=allure-commandline-$ALLURE_VERSION.zip

if [[ -f "allure-$ALLURE_VERSION/bin/allure" ]]; then
    echo "allure binary already exists"
else
    echo "cleanup and download $ALLURE_ARCHIVE"
    rm -rfv allure-*
    wget http://***/share/allure/$ALLURE_ARCHIVE
    unzip -q $ALLURE_ARCHIVE 
    rm $ALLURE_ARCHIVE

Seems that plugin resolves configured agent home directory (/home/ci/agent/) for installation, but then crashes trying to find utility by using configured tool path (/home/ci/tools/...)

workaround: symlinked /home/ci/tools to /home/ci/agent/tools at agent host and NPE disappeared
