Jenkins: Error in Selenium Publish Report - selenium

I have properly configured the Seleniumhq plugin into Jenkins. I've also tried to run it in my local Jenkins and it worked. The problems I encounter are as follows:
suiteFile directory reads from C drive ONLY. Example, C:\TestSelenium\testSuite.html
When I try to specify the absolute path to my test suite (workspace), I get the error
The suiteFile is not a file or an url ! Check your build configuration.
Same thing happens with resultFile.
When I add post-build action "Publish Selenium Report," I'm getting an error because the newly created resultFile is saved into C:\TestResult\result.html and not in the workspace.

Getting 'Could not find test files' Error when attempting to run TestCafe tests

I'm trying to run some TestCafe tests from our build server, but getting the following error...
"Could not find test files at the following location: "C:\Testing\TestCafe".
Check patterns for errors:
tests/my-test.ts
or launch TestCafe from a different directory."
I did have them running or able to be found on this machine previously, but others have taken over the test coding and changed the structure a bit when moving it to a Git repository. Now when I grab the tests from Git and try to run, the problem presents itself. I'm not sure if there is something in a config file that needs adjustment but don't know where to start looking.
The intention is to have it part of our CI process, but the problem is also seen when I attempt to run the tests from the command line. The build process does install TestCafe, but there is something strange around this as well.
When the build failes with the can't find tests error, if I try to run the following command in the proper location...
tescafe chrome tests/my-test.ts
... I get, 'testcafe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Just can't understand why I can't get these tests running. TestCafe setup was pretty much easy previously.
ADDENDUM: I've added a screenshot of the working directory where I cd to and run the testcafe command as well as the tests subdirectory containing the test I'm trying to run.
Any help is appreciated!!
testcafe chrome tests/my-test.ts is just a template; it isn't a real path to your tests. This error means that the path that you set in CLI is wrong, and there aren't any tests. You need to:
Find out where you start CLI. Please attach a screenshot to your question.
Define an absolute path to tests or a path relative to the place where CLI was started. Please share a screenshot of your project tree where the directory with tests is open.
Also, you missed t in the tescafe chrome tests/my-test.ts command. It should be tesTcafe chrome tests/my-test.ts. That is why you get the "'tescafe' is not recognized as an internal or external command" error.
I was able to get things working by starting from scratch. I uninstalled TestCafe and cleaned the working folder. During next build it was fine. I'm sure I've tried this several times, but it just started working.
One positive that came out of it was that I discovered a typo in a test file name, which was also causing issues finding the test I was using to check testing setup.
Thanks for helping!!

Timestamp mismatch in Jenkins console and Project report path

I've setup Selenium with Cucumber java project in Jenkins and this project is generating report through this plugin.
plugin = {"com.aventstack.extentreports.cucumber.adapter.ExtentCucumberAdapter:" }
This plugin generating reports inside D:\ABC\ABC-Meta\output\reports 03012022_161621901\test-output\SparkReport\Index.html
I want to publish HTML reports in Jenkins by extracting reports from this folder.
For that I've used Build Timestamp plugin and usage of BUILD_TIMESTAMP variable.
Configuration Setup of BUILD_TIMESTAMP parameter in Jenkins
Now I'm using same parameter with HTML Publish report configuration
${WORKSPACE}\output\reports ${BUILD_TIMESTAMP}\test-output\SparkReport
but when this step is executed post automation execution, folder doesn't exist due to mismatch in the timestamp..
Jenkins Console Logs
Jenkins Console Logs Timestamp
Project Report Location
Project Report Location Timestamp
Any idea how could I fetch or process this Build_timestamp parameter so that I can publish HTML report in correct manner? How to use Regex so that it would capture correct value of reporting folder?

can't trigger a test of some appllication via Jenkins job

I am a beginner at the field of Devops.
I have created a simple web application (jsp), using 3 Jenkins jobs to store the code in GIT, to deploy the this app into Tomcat, and also to site-monitor this app (respectively).
Now, I have been trying - with no success -to automate a simple test with 2 verifications of my app functionality, using Selenium IDE and triggering it via Jenkins job (the fourth one in my project).
In order to perform it , I created the following job on Jenkins, with the needed plugin added (which is SeleniumHQ htmlsuite Run).
Here is the job:

The job running has failed,giving the following error which I cant handle.
When I run it, I get the following error :

Any help would be very appreciated
Just tick Delete workspace before build starts box under Build Environment stanza
If you don't have the option in your Jenkins job configuration - make sure that Workspace Cleanup Plugin is installed
If you're running your Selenium tests via Jenkins Pipeline - all you need to do is to put cleanWS() directive somewhere in your pipeline code or Jenkinsfile

Unable to run a test from MTM - Config issue

I have set up a Test Controller and Test Agent running in separate machines and they are able to communicate with each other.
When I try to run the test from MTM (Selenium Tests), the test failed with the below error message
(QTController.exe, PID 1104, Thread 15) Could not use lab service account to access the build directory.
Failure: Network path does not exist or is not accesible using following user:
https://mydevelopment.visualstudio.com/defaultcollection/c2f372df-8c45-487a-9b51-4ced6e8f6037/_apis/build/builds/969/artifacts?artifactName=drop&%24format=zip
using MYDEV\timothy.alex. Error Code: 67
(QTController.exe, PID 1104, Thread 15) TcmRunner: Error starting the test run: The build directory of the test run either does not exist or access permission is required..
This clearly mentions that the error is because of access issue. But when I try downloading the build from the url mentioned in the error log using the same credentials mentioned in the ERROR log, I am able to download the drop zip file.
Is there any thing I am missing in the set up. Any help would be really really great.
It looks like you're using the new task-based build system. You can't run automated tests from a task-based build from MTM at present -- you have to use the older XAML build system for that.

jenkins error FATAL: Unable to find build script at C:\selenium tests for moveon\moveon4tests1\build.xml

I am using Jenkins and Ant to run my selenium tests. It works fine when I run them on my local machine.
Now I have a Jenkins server which is on a different location and I have to run my tests on that server.
when I tried to run the tests on that server Its is failing because it couldn't find the build.xml file. can you please let me know how can I change the home directory path?

Build step 'Invoke Ant' marked build as failure

Are you using "Invoke Ant" in your Jenkins job configuration for the build step that executes your Ant build ? If so, the build file location is hidden away in the Advanced section - it's an annoying quirk of Jenkins.
