Rob Platt created JENKINS-15115 FitNesse: Option not to only mark build unstable when fitnesse tests fail Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: current Assignee: Rob Platt Components: fitnesse Created: 11/Sep/12 12:19 PM Description: FitNesse explicitly fails the build, overriding the default Jenkins/Hudson behaviour to mark the build as unstable when a test fails. This causes us some build process problems. We use post-build checks to run Sonar for static analysis. We want this to run if the build is unstable, but not broken, to get the most out of Sonar's trending information. There is no satisfactory workaround to use Sonar and FitNesse together. We can configure Sonar to run even when the build is broken, but this is not quite the correct process either. I see on github that mhoswell has forked the plugin and removed the getBuildResult() method override in class FitnesseResults. That would fix our problem. However, I am guessing that some users rely upon the current behaviour? Also, I see no evidence of a pull request. My proposal is to provide an option to control whether or not the default Jenkins behaviour is overriden by FitNesse or not: When there are FitNesse tests fail mark build as: (dropdown box failed|unstable) I think unstable is expected behaviour and would prefer that as the default, but then existing users might prefer existing behaviour as default! Would be interested to know what others think? I am happy to make the changes and put in a pull request. With Regards Rob Project: Jenkins Priority: Major Reporter: Rob Platt
