How to mark build as unstable when warning trend has arisen?

Question

So we use Jenkins in conjunction with MS Build to build our projects. We also have a warnings plugin and a large number of warnings in our projects. I am trying to fight wit

Answer 1

The warnings plugin does have some capability to do some of this. Under the "Advanced..." settings, there are two configuration options to look at:

• Health Thresholds - "Configure the thresholds for build health"
• Status Thresholds - "If the number of total warnings is greater than one of these thresholds then a build is considered as unstable or failed."

If you then check the "Compute new warnings" checkbox, you will get an option to set the status thresholds based on new warnings.
