How do I make Hudson/Jenkins fail if Sonar thresholds are breached?

java hudson jenkins metrics sonarqube

I am using maven to build my java app, Jenkins for CI and Sonar for metrics.

Currently I have a build job that creates the sonar report. (Triggered via a post-build step in Jenkins.)

I would like to set this up to fail the build if certain thresholds are met - i.e. any major or blocker violations or Complexity more than 1.7.

Any guidance would be appreciated! - L

Answer

Install the build breaker plugin.

Fails your build if the code breaches any of the alert thresholds you specify on the project's Sonar quality profile.

Sonarqube no longer recommends the use of this plugin:
