## ${docGenConfiguration}

### Thresholds

It is possible to define thresholds to fail the build on a certain count of findings. To achive this, just define your thresholds a followed for the specific check tool:

```groovy
thresholds: [fail: [all: 999, low: 99, normal: 9, high: 0]]
```

This way, the jenkins will fail the build on 1 high issue, 10 normal issues, 100 low issues or a total issue count of 1000.

The `thresholds` parameter can be set for `aggregation`, `tasks`, `pmd`, `cpd`, `findbugs`, `checkstyle`, `eslint` and `pylint`.

```groovy
checksPublishResults(
    tasks: true,
    pmd: [pattern: '**/target/pmd-results.xml', thresholds: [fail: [low: 100]]],
    cpd: [archive: false],
    aggregation: [thresholds: [fail: [high: 0]]],
    archive: true
)
```

## Side effects

If both ESLint and PyLint results are published, they are not correctly aggregated in the aggregator plugin.

## Exceptions

none

## Example

```groovy
// publish java results from pmd, cpd, checkstyle & findbugs
checksPublishResults archive: true, pmd: true, cpd: true, findbugs: true, checkstyle: true, aggregation: [thresholds: [fail: [high: 0]]]
```

```groovy
// publish javascript results from ESLint
checksPublishResults archive: true, eslint: [pattern: '**/result-file-with-fancy-name.xml'], aggregation: [thresholds: [fail: [high: 0, normal: 10]]]
```

```groovy
// publish scala results from scalastyle
checksPublishResults archive: true, checkstyle: [pattern: '**/target/scalastyle-result.xml']
```

```groovy
// publish python results from pylint
checksPublishResults archive: true, pylint: [pattern: '**/target/pylint.log']
```
