Identifying new violations introduced with changes

[Macarse]

I the README it says:

IDEA allows you to check for new violations introduced with your changes while you are trying to commit them

How? Is there a way to configure this tool to generate build failures when new warnings/errors are introduced?

This sentence refers to the Before Submit / Before Commit section > Perform code analysis of IDEA.

I suggest to use the various options in IntelliJ to a warning/error project:

• adjust inspections levels in IDEA
• supress/ignore selected inspection errors (not viable for all places, therefore ...)
• supress selected files / inspection using the idea-cli-inspector suppressions
• limit inspection to a selected scope (new feature introduced in latest version).

The script could be easily extended to compare an inspection result set with a given set of violations (i.e. by copying & adding the set of "accepted" violations to a separated dir) but given all the better options this sounds a bit like golden faucets for me.

oh ok, but there is no way of analyzing only the commit diff, right?

[bentolor]

Not on the server-side. But I think it can be achieved easily (see my previous answert).

might be that TeamCity might offers a similar sort of functionality you are looking for.
