Is there a possibility to somehow force maven to fail the build if there are some checkstyle
errors? Now I have to run site
goal to generate javadocs
and checkstyle
reports. I want to make it on install
goal and if checkstyle has some error I need build to fail. Is this possible to achieve?
Now I have my checkstyle
in reporting block of maven:
<reporting>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.9.1</version>
<configuration>
<configLocation>src/test/resources/checkstyle.xml</configLocation>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</reporting>
You need to bind checkstyle:check
to a Maven lifecycle phase (e.g. validate ) and set failOnViolation
to true.
Something like:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.9.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>checkstyle</id>
<phase>validate</phase>
<goals>
<goal>check</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<failOnViolation>true</failOnViolation>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
