How can I publish HTML page generated by Jenkins build to Confluence

Question

Hello,

I have a Jenkins task which is running a powershell script and generate an HTML. I want this html report to be displayed at confluence page and whenever a new build run it should refresh it with the latest html. I tried confluence publisher plugin but it is not picking up the file.

16:39:58 [confluence] Attempting to attach the archived artifacts, but there are no archived artifacts from the job! Check job configuration...
16:39:58 [confluence] Uploading 0 file(s) to Confluence...
16:39:58 [confluence] Done
16:39:58 [confluence] EXPERIMENTAL: performing storage format edits on Confluence 4.0
16:39:58 [confluence] Performing wiki edits: Replace entire page content
16:39:58 [confluence] Markup file (CPG-AD-Audit-Report-6-5-2019.html) does not exist.

Hi Piyush,

Thanks so much for your question.

It looks like you are trying to use an artefact from a Jenkins build (happens to be html) and push it to Confluence page.

You can choose to use Confluence REST API(bash/ruby/nodejs) and add a task to your Jenkins pipeline. Confluence supports REST endpoints for creating a new page and uploading new attachments to a page. Please follow this Rest API guide to upload the html created in previous task.

Pro-tip: Instead of basic auth, you can choose to use Personal Access token in your script to do so in Confluence 7.10 and above.

Thank you,

Ganesh
