Running a Unit test is the most common and essential practice of Build automation, however, while publishing NUnit test results, you might get this error “ERROR: Step ‘Publish NUnit test result report’ aborted due to an exception – Caused by: java.io.IOException: Could not transform the NUnit report”
You should have added the NUnit Test result report step as Post Build action
And once you run the job, it will throw an error as below:

20:00:39 at hudson.model.Executor.run(Executor.java:405)First, you need to understand what exactly is causing the error :
– Its not the Nunit report ( TestResult.xml )
– It’s not either your framework/installation/nunit3-console.exe
Its the way Jenkins take this reports – Jenkins tries to transform the NUnit report to JUnit report since its understand only JUnit reports.
While doing that it’s using the default XLST file which is causing the issue.
What you can do?
You can use the XSLT written by Paul Hicks. You can download it from this link (Make sure its properly copied with no spaces/extra words – use XML validator to validate)
Then instead of using Jenkins transformed file, use this new xslt file and add the below to NUnit3-console command
–result=TestResult.xml;transform=”C:\nunit3-xunit.xslt”
where,
–result will tell Nunit to save the result in the given name and
—transform will transform the result as per Jenkins requirement.
Once done, just run the build again and this time you see the success.

I am constantly looking online for articles that can facilitate me. Thank you!
Could you please help me out for the following issue:
git clone is hangs up in Jenkins pipeline.
git clone ‘repo link’
Hi Venkat,
Thanks for your query but it doesn’t give much information about the issue, such as
– which git repo [ External (on-internet) / Internal (onpremises) ] ?
– gitlab/github/bitbucket or any thing else ?
– are you able to connect to that git repo directly through Jenkins node ?
– what is the error you see in logs or when you cancel the job ?
– is there any firewall issue which is restricting the access ?
– was it working before ?
– is there any change in access-keys, user credentials, etc ?
Once you get the answers of these, you might be able to figure out the issue – if not, then please share these details and we can try to figure out the issue.
Happy Learning !!
