Jenkins API URL clashes with a module named “api”

Question

I have a Django project set up with Jenkins. One of my apps has the literal name api . When I go to view the coverage report for this app, I am taken to a URL with the suffix /cobertura/api/ . Because this URL ends with the string api , Jenkins interprets this as API access to the URL /cobertura/ instead of the api page of the coverage report.

How can I deal with this? I don't use the Jenkins API at all, so disabling it entirely would be an acceptable solution.

Answer 1

I added the following to the end of my Jenkins build script:

cp reports/coverage.xml reports/coverage2.xml
sed 's/ name=\"api\"/ name=\"api_\"/' reports/coverage2.xml > reports/coverage.xml

This rewrites the coverage report before Jenkins processes it, changing the api name to api_ . Since only the name XML attribute is affected and not filename , the coverage report itself works normally.
