Show the new warnings in the "Build Quality Checks" task #143

Closed SamTh3D3v closed 3 years ago

SamTh3D3v commented 3 years ago

I am using "Build Quality Checks" task to check if the warning counts has increased in a build compared to a previous one.

The task return a summarized report showing the warning count (and fails if the warnings increased!), something like:

Total warnings: 22, Filtered warnings: 22

Question Is there a way to show the new warnings in the new build? Currently, I have to go through the previous build and manually compare its warnings with the warnings in the new build in order to identify the new ones! This is a really tedious task, is there a built in way that automates that and show only the new warnings in the report?

Thanks!

Hi @SamTh3D3v,

sorry for the late response. You can enable the warning statistics option. This generates more detailed information about the warnings that have been added or removed.

Hi @ReneSchumacher,

No worries at all, I appreciate you taking the time to look into this!

Yes, the stat option is enabled in the task:

That's the kind of output I am getting from the task:

The build solution task, does log the warnings in the vso format and all:

Any thoughts pls?

The statistics are not in the log. There is a section called "Extensions" in the pipeline summary view, and you will find the statistics there.

Btw: I'd recommend updating to the latest version of the Build Quality Checks task. It has a couple improvements and bug fixes, and I believe the statistics are way better on the newer versions.

SamTh3D3v commented 3 years ago

Oh I see, my bad I was looking in the wrong location! But, still the output doesn't look that helpful, will the update fix that?

ReneSchumacher commented 3 years ago

Yes, it will. We added more details with version 7.4.0 if I remember correctly. It'll give you the exact warnings that have changed. It at least we try to 😉 Since the task only has limited context for each warning, we use a heuristic to find the changes. So far, I haven't heard any complaints, though.
