How to use HTML Publisher Plugin:

HtmlPublisher plugin is useful to publish the html reports that your build generates to the job and build pages. Below are the steps to publish and archive the HTML report files

1. Click on the Configure option for your Jenkins job.

2. In the post build portion, look for the Publish HTML Reports option and select the checkbox. See the screen shot below

Fill the path to the directory containing the html reports in the "HTML directory to archive" field. Specify the pages to display (default index.html); you can specify multiple comma-separated pages and each will be a tab on the report page. You can also specify titles for the report page that appears on the tab, by default, file name will be taken as title.  Finally, give a name in the Report Title field, which will be used to provide a link to the report. By default, only the most recent HTML report will be saved, but if you'd like to be able to view HTML reports for each past build, select "Keep past HTML reports."

Some time at HTML directory, you don't have to specify project name, but have to start one level below. For e.g. if your project name is "ABC" and if HTML files are at "ABC/report-output/html" then you have to specify just \test-output\html\.

3. After saving the configuration, run build once. The published HTML reports are available to view from within Jenkins with convenient links in the dashboard.

Version History

Version 1.21 (October 1st, 2019)

• Fix XSS vulnerability

Version 1.18 (January 17th, 2019)

• Small fix to prevent overlapping of tabs when there are too many for one line (PR-39)
• Change to the code to allow reportTitle to truly be optional (PR-40)

Version 1.17 (October 3rd, 2018)

• With the security fix, underscores in the Report Title were escaped in the URL and directory name as part of the process. The default behaviour is still to do this but a new option "Escape Underscores" can now be set to "False" to not do this (PR-36)
• The "Back To" link at the top left of the HTML reports viewer will now take you back to the project or build depending if it was selected from the project or build respectively (PR-38)

Version 1.16 (April 16th, 2018)

• Fix security vulnerability
  Note: As a side effect of this change, the URLs and directory names of archived reports will change. If you have external links pointing to reports in Jenkins, they may need to be adapted.

Version 1.15 (March 28th, 2018)

• White space in report name, directory, files, and titles configuration settings is now all trimmed. (JENKINS-47034)
• Index page titles can now be passed in as a parameter for Freestyle builds (Part of JENKINS-44786)
• Note: Currently the HTML Publisher plugin will resolve parameters passed in with pipeline builds. This is not considered best practice and therefore should be considered deprecated - resolving the parameter should be done via Groovy. The current behaviour will be removed in a future release but will only create a warning in this release.
