Getting started

Installation

Note

When updating plugin version in your project don't forget to call clean task to remove cached configs from previous plugin version

Plugin is available from maven central, bintray jcenter and gradle plugins portal.

plugins {
    id 'ru.vyarus.quality' version '4.8.0'
}

OR

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        gradlePluginPortal()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'ru.vyarus:gradle-quality-plugin:4.8.0'
    }
}
apply plugin: 'ru.vyarus.quality'

Warning

Plugin must be applied after java, java-library or groovy plugins. Otherwise, it will do nothing.

Note

Requires java 8 and gradle >= 5.6

If you are using lower java versions use previous plugin releases.

Usage

Plugin will auto detect java and groovy sources and activate required quality plugins. All tools will be configured with the default opinionated configs.

See init configs task to modify default configs

$ gradlew check

Will execute all quality plugins. Alternatively, you can use grouping task to run checks without tests.

If any violations were found then build will fail with all violations printed to console. For example like this:

23 PMD rule violations were found in 2 files

[Comments | CommentRequired] sample.(Sample.java:3) 
  headerCommentRequirement Required
  https://pmd.github.io/pmd-5.4.0/pmd-java/rules/java/comments.html#CommentRequired

...  

Or you can use build task (which also calls check):

$ gradlew build

Tip

It's better to fix all quality issues before commit.

Non strict mode

You can switch off strict mode to avoid build failure when quality violations are found:

quality {
    strict = false
}

You will still see all violations in the output.

Suppress

Sometimes tool could be wrong, or your specific situation could imply such code as normal. In this case violation could be suppressed: see exact tool page for suppression hints (e.g. checstyle suppress).

It is completely normal to suppress some warnings! But don't do it too much often. Note that check name is always printed in square braces:

[Comments | CommentRequired] sample.(Sample.java:3)

Use it for suppression (e.g. @SuppressWarnings("PMD.CommentRequired") in case of PMD.
