   ./run_jenkins.sh
   

2. Open Jenkins in browser
3. Install the required plugins
4. Create a new Pipeline job

6. Save the job
7. Run the job
8. Check the test results in the job page

Conlusion

The error System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/.dotnet' is denied. was the most challenging part, I solved it by using root user in the docker container.

The task requirement states that if the tests executed successfully without failures, then the solution should be published. I think it is better to publish the artifact even if the test fails, so that the artifact can be used for further investigation. This can be achieved by adding a post stage to publish the artifact, or adding catchError(buildResult: 'SUCCESS', stageResult: 'FAILURE') {} wrapper to the test stages. In case that one test stage failure causes that the Publish stage is skipped.

There is also another jenkins plugin MSTest available to convert MSTest TRX test reports into JUnit XML reports so it can be integrated with Jenkin's JUnit features. But seems it is not required for this task, so it is not used.

I have learned how to run stages in parallel and dotnet build, test and publish commands.

Roughly, 2 - 3 hours was spent on this task to explore the .net docker container, and write, test, refine the pipeline.
