Re: [Codenarc-user] Picking up codenarc.properties from Ant task

[<chr...@we...>]

Is the project root definitely in the classpath? I would probably assume not, by default.

(from the online docs)
You can optionally override the location of the properties file by setting the "codenarc.properties.file" system property to the path or URL of the properties file. That can include a "file:" URL to load from a relative or absolute path on the filesystem (e.g., "file:relative/path/override-codenarc.properties"). If the properties file is not found, then do nothing.

So, either add the project root to the classpath, or try setting the "codenarc.properties.file" system property to something like "file:codenarc.properties" (assuming that the project root is the current working dir).

Subject: [Codenarc-user] Picking up codenarc.properties from Ant task

Hi all,

Many thanks for this great tool, we're using it in our Jenkins CI
environment with the violations plugin for nice reporting on possible
defects. However, I'm having an issue with not being able to disable
some rules that we don't particularly care about, and is causing
errors to be reported that we just want to ignore.

Given a codenarc.properties file, located in the project root (a
grails application)  with the following contents:

ExplicitArrayListInstantiation.enabled=false


and this build.xml --


<project name="myProject">	
	<taskdef name="codenarc" classname="org.codenarc.ant.CodeNarcTask" />
	
	<target name="codenarc">
	    <codenarc ruleSetFiles="rulesets/basic.xml, rulesets/braces.xml,
rulesets/imports.xml, rulesets/unused.xml" maxPriority1Violations="0">
	        <fileset dir="src" includes="**/*.groovy" />
	    	<fileset dir="grails-app" includes="**/*.groovy" />
	    	<fileset dir="test" includes="**/*.groovy" />
		    	
			<report type="xml">
				<option name="outputFile" value="test/reports/CodeNarcAntReport.xml" />
			</report>
			<report type="html">
				<option name="outputFile" value="test/reports/CodeNarcAntReport.html" />
				<option name="title" value="project Groovy Code Analysis" />
			</report>
	 	</codenarc>
	</target>	
</project>


...I am still getting errors about this explicitly instantiating
arraylists. I'm unsure how to get the codenarc.properties file to be
"picked up" by CodeNarc.

I would use the Grails CodeNarc plugin, but unfortunately it's for
Grails 1.3+ and this project is Grails 1.1 based.

Any pointers or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,

Steven Sproat
