[GRADLE-2473] Findbugs task does not honor Findbugs extension properties. Created: 12/Sep/12  Updated: 04/Jan/13  Resolved: 12/Sep/12

Status: Resolved
Project: Gradle
Affects Version/s: 1.2-rc-1
Fix Version/s: 1.3-rc-1

Type: Bug
Reporter: Gradle Forums Assignee: Unassigned
Resolution: Fixed Votes: 0


 Description   

My build.gradle contains:

apply plugin: 'findbugs'
findbugs

{ toolVersion = '2.0.1' effort = 'min' excludeFilter = file("$rootProject.projectDir/config/findbugs/excludeFilter.xml") }

This is the same exclude filter that we use in our Maven projects and we get a clean Findbugs run. However, I got Findbugs errors with gradle. To verify if excludeFilter was being honored, I changed the contents to:

<FindBugsFilter>
<Match>
<Package name="~.*"/>
</Match>

The above should match ALL packages and effectively exclude everything from Findbugs. Even with the above filter, I get the exact same results as before which leads me to believe that excludeFilter is not really being honored.

Hello,
in gradle 1.2-rc-1 you have to define the excludeFilters per task. this means that instead of using

findbugs {
excludeFilter = file("$rootProject.projectDir/config/findbugs/excludeFilter.xml")
}

you have to declare it explicitly for your findbugsMain task:

findbugsMain {
excludeFilter = file("$rootProject.projectDir/config/findbugs/excludeFilter.xml")
}

This is already fixed on master

cheers,
René

BTW, the documentation here is misleading: [1]http://gradle.org/docs/release-candid...
