[JENKINS-26747] XUnit post-build actions cannot be saved

Since updating a few minor versions to the latest I've noticed that when saving a Project's Configure page existing XUnit post-build actions get cleared and will not accept the values submitted.

The config.xml for a working project has the following for the XUnit section:

"xunit@​1.61">

  

    

      sstesting/logs/testsuite.xml

      false

      true

      true

      true

    

  

  

    

      

      

      

      

    

    

      

      

      

      

    

  

  1

If I edit an existing project or clone our template to a new Project this section gets replaced with:

    "xunit@​1.61">

      

      



  

  

  

  





  

  

  

  



      

      1

    

Our builds then fail because we require the test report to be written.

The workaround is to edit the correct values back into config.xml on the Jenkins master server and reload the configuration. It seems like the web interface's interaction with the REST API is breaking for this particular post-build action.

Any thoughts>

Raw content of original issue

Since updating a few minor versions to the latest I've noticed that when saving a Project's Configure page existing XUnit post-build actions get cleared and will not accept the values submitted.


The config.xml for a working project has the following for the XUnit section:



<xunit plugin="xunit@1.61">

  <types>

    <PHPUnitJunitHudsonTestType>

      <pattern>sstesting/logs/testsuite.xml</pattern>

      <skipNoTestFiles>false</skipNoTestFiles>

      <failIfNotNew>true</failIfNotNew>

      <deleteOutputFiles>true</deleteOutputFiles>

      <stopProcessingIfError>true</stopProcessingIfError>

    </PHPUnitJunitHudsonTestType>

  </types>

      <failureNewThreshold></failureNewThreshold>

  </thresholds>

  <thresholdMode>1</thresholdMode>

</xunit>





If I edit an existing project or clone our template to a new Project this section gets replaced with:



    <xunit plugin="xunit@1.61">

      <types/>

      <thresholds>

        <org.jenkinsci.plugins.xunit.threshold.FailedThreshold>

          <unstableThreshold></unstableThreshold>

          <unstableNewThreshold></unstableNewThreshold>

          <failureThreshold></failureThreshold>

          <failureNewThreshold></failureNewThreshold>

        </org.jenkinsci.plugins.xunit.threshold.FailedThreshold>

        <org.jenkinsci.plugins.xunit.threshold.SkippedThreshold>

          <unstableThreshold></unstableThreshold>

          <unstableNewThreshold></unstableNewThreshold>

          <failureThreshold></failureThreshold>

          <failureNewThreshold></failureNewThreshold>

        </org.jenkinsci.plugins.xunit.threshold.SkippedThreshold>

      </thresholds>

      <thresholdMode>1</thresholdMode>

    </xunit>
