I use Jenkins to run some integration tests on a web appilcation (using cucumber, capybara and selenium)
Everytime a test fails, a screenshot, the HTML source and a video of the process is saved.
the path structure looks like this:
results/output/<test_name>/<files>
I use the archive artifacts feature of Jenkins to provide the files (pattern: results/output/*/*). It works great.
However as soon as a build succeeds, there are no screenshots/videos etc… and the build fails because Jenkins cannot find the files for the pattern.
Is there a way to tell Jenkins to succeed without having the files present?
I don't want to do a dirty hack which involves creating an empty folder structure like result/output/success/hooray.txt.

There's an open issue on for that: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-10502
The behavior is controlled by the system property
hudson.tasks.ArtifactArchiver.warnOnEmpty, as explained on https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Features+controlled+by+system+properties
