AWS CodeBuild cannot generate test report 'Skipping invalid file path build/test-results/test'. Why is the path invalid?

Question

my buildspec.yml is

version: 0.2

phases:
  pre_build:
    commands:
      - cd my-service/
      - gradle clean
      - echo "prebuild complete!"

  build:
    commands:
      - gradle test
#      - gradle bootJar
      - echo "prebuild complete!"

  post_build:
    commands:
      - echo "commence post_build"
      - cd build/test-results/test
      - ls -al
      - cd ../../..
      - pwd
      - echo "post_build complete"

reports:
  unit-test-reports:
    files:
      - '**/*'
    base-directory: build/test-results/test
    discard-paths: no

artifacts:
  files:
    - 'build/libs/*.jar'

as you will see I added some additional commands that are not really necessary just to prove that the path is valid.

output is below.

Error in UPLOAD_ARTIFACTS phase: [unit-test-reports: [report files not found in build]]

I am trying to view the junit test results report generated by gradle. CodeBuild seems able to read the path to the test report files in the post_build phase. But when it comes to generating the report, it says the path is invalid

the error claims to be [Container] 2021/01/22 17:08:56 Expanding build/test-results/test [Container] 2021/01/22 17:08:56 Skipping invalid file path build/test-results/test [Container] 2021/01/22 17:08:56 No matching base directory path found for build/test-results/test, skipping

Hope someone can spot something, I have tried everything I can think of.

The problem was a difference between the location of my buildspec.yml and the value of environemnet variable CODEBUILD_SRC_DIR

by running a command

echo $CODEBUILD_SRC_DIR

I noticed that CODEBUILD_SRC_DIR is the root of the repo that was checked out but my buildspec was not in the root of the repo, it was one directory down.

$>repos/my-project/my-api-service/buildspec.yml

i was using paths relative to the location of my buildspec.yml

$>repos/my-project/my-api-service/build/test-results/test

so i was using just build/test-results/test epic fail

changed it to be relative to root of repo my-api-service/build/test-results/test pure genius

now I have beautiful junit test reports
