Testlink Jenkins result integration not working - selenium

Question

I want to sync automation result from jenkins to testlink. I tried with Testlink -jenking plugin and testlink-api-client but not worked getting error.
Pre-setup :
$tlCfg-> api-> enabled
$tlCfg-> exec_cfg-> enable_test_automation
From Testlink UI enable automation for the project.
Test code :
TestLinkAPIClient testlinkAPIClient = new TestLinkAPIClient(APIKEY, "http://localhost/testlink/lib/api/xmlrpc/v1/xmlrpc.php");
testlinkAPIClient.reportTestCaseResult(Project, TestPlan, TEST_CASE, Build, notes/comments, teststatus);
output :
"testlink.api.java.client.TestLinkAPIException: The call to the xml-rpc client failed.".

Answer 1

I believe you should follow the documentation(1) written by kino who wrote the plugin.We recently managed to sync automation results from Jenkins to Testlink by following above doc.Our auto tests were written based on testng framework, Hence we used "testng-results.xml" and TestNg method name based result seeking strategy.
We didn't come across an issue as you mentioned. From (2) and (3) you can get the plugin source .My advice is to debug the code after enabling the debug on Jenkins hosted tomcat server. So you can find the actual cause of the issue by yourself.

You can run wireshark and filter on port "tcp port http" to see exact error you get from the server. When it was not working for us we were getting 200 OK with text "XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only."
You can also check /var/log/apache2/error.log for testlink errors.
We fixed the issue by setting following config in config.inc.php and restarting apache.
$tlCfg->api->enabled = TRUE;
$tlCfg->exec_cfg->enable_test_automation = ENABLED;
