Generate HTML Report with Findbugs

[SimonScholz]

I am pretty sure that with findbugs it was possible to generate html reports during a maven build. Is there a way to generate a more human readable output during the build?

+1 for the ability to generate HTML reports out of the box.

This is actually pretty important from a Project Management perspective. We have departments that require us to submit a written report of the analysis.

It already does this. Run mvn site. Am I missing something here?

how can i generate html output with maven findbugs plugin?

[kennardconsulting]

@hazendaz yes you are correct. mvn site does it

[cziesman]

We would like to generate the HTML report as part of the Maven verify phase, so that developers have access to it when a Jenkins build fails due to too many errors. How do we achieve this? We do not use mvn site in our CI/CD pipeline because it takes too long to complete.

[hazendaz]

@cziesman How do you plan to make the site html pages available during that run? Generally you just have the jenkins console output available to the users. There as with many other plugins, it will show you where the issues are when using 'spotbugs:check'.

[jcamerin]

Developers on my regularly ask how to check static analysis locally on their development machines. If the plugin can generate html output, they will be able to open those pages with a browser. This is faster for them than waiting for a Jenkins build to complete

[NeelimaShrm]

Can we now generate HTML report or feature is still not released for end users? If yes, please share the configuration needed.

[hazendaz]

feature was never completed and is still sitting outstanding #161

[hazendaz]

This has now been worked on and merged into spotbugs branch. Will release within the week.
