[JENKINS-21175] JUnit tests history non existant

We're currently feeding the xml files to JUnit built-in plugin.

However, we'd like to know for how long, or when a test started to fail. The JUnit plugin is supposed to do that.

The plugin *has* been enabled for months now(there ain't that much history because we recently started cleaning up old builds).

A recurring failing tests will always show as failing for one build.

http://jenkins.saltstack.com/job/salt-rs-arch/1161/testReport/integration.states.pkg/PkgTest/test_pkg_004_installed_multipkg_with_version/

Something not properly configured on our side?

This is a freestyle python project which runs it's unittests and reports it's results through a junit compatible xml file.

These xml files are cleaned up from the file system when starting a new build.

Is there any more info I can provide?
