Integrate Spectral into Azure Devops Pipeline

[blueksy1012]

Hello. I am trying to run Spectral through an Azure Devops pipeline.
I haven't done any work with pipelines before so not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

When I run the pipeline in devops I get a message on the "Publish Test Results" step that says "No Result Found to Publish 'D:\a\1\s\LoadShare\test-results\spectral-results.xml'.

Is this something someone could help me with?

This is a snippet of the pipeline.yaml file:

`- stage: team_deployment
jobs:
- deployment: deployLoadShareSynthetic
displayName: 'Deploy LoadShare synthetic'
environment: TeamSub
strategy:
runOnce:
deploy:
steps:
- checkout: self
- script:
npm install -g @stoplight/spectral-cli
- script:
spectral lint ./LoadShare/LoadShareOpenApi.yaml -r ./LoadShare/.custom2.yaml -o ./LoadShare/test-results/spectral-results.xml -f junit
displayName: 'spectral lint'
continueOnError: true

        - task: PublishTestResults@2
          displayName: Publish Test Results
          inputs:
            testResultsFormat: 'JUnit'
            #testResultsFiles: '\spectral-results.xml'
            testResultsFiles: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)\LoadShare\test-results\spectral-results.xml' 
            #testResultsFiles: './LoadShare/test-results/spectral-results.xml' 
            failTaskOnFailedTests: false
            testRunTitle: 'LoadShare Linting Results'

`

When I run spectral through command prompt on my local machine it works fine and writes the results to an output file. spectral lint LoadShareOpenApi.yaml -r .custom2.yaml -o test-results/spectral-results.xml

O.k. I made some progress on this. With my original .custom2.yaml file (ruleset) Spectral was only returning warnings. The warnings were not written to the .xml file in the junit format. So I would get the "No result found to publish" error message in the pipeline.

However, after I added some more rules to the .custom2.yaml file the new rules returned error messages. These errors were written to the spectral-results.xml file. Then the pipeline published and displayed results.

So the problem I have now is how do I get Spectral warnings to display in the test results as well? For example, there is a Spectral rule in my custom file that say "paths should be plural". The rule returns severity "warn". So it is not being written in junit format to the spectral-results.xml file. So the pipeline is not displaying it.

I think I just found my answer in another thread. #935
If I include the setting "--fail-severity=warn" when I am linting then both errors and warnings are written to the junit results.

spectral lint LoadShareOpenApi.yaml -r .custom2.yaml -o test-results\spectral-results.xml -f junit --fail-severity=warn
