Description

I have a job which has conditional run of tests which means if tests don't run there will be no xml file hence junit report plugin marks the build as FAILED. Even if I intentionally mark it SUCCESS using groovy post-build at the end, it doesn't work (weird)

A tick mark like feature, if selected while configuring job, will do help. I would like to contribute if this sounds a right option to have.

 

jenkins 2.62

junit plugin: 1.9
