Allow test parsing tasks to be configured with an option that won't fail the build if no tests are found

Problem Definition

In some plans, certain branches may not produce test results and it can be a lot of overhead to setup conditions for each branches. An option to not fail the build on lack of results but parse them if present would help.

Suggested Solution

Jenkins has an option "Do not fail the build on empty test results" present in its test parser tasks.

Workaround

In Bamboo 7.1.1 and above, tasks can be configured as conditional and you can execute the test parser based on a variable/branch name.

Alternatively, using Bamboo Specs and Specs Branches – each branch can have its own task configuration which either does or not include a test parser:
