Building a Build Server – Finding Potential Problems in your Code

In last week’s article, we explored how to set up JetBrains’ dupFinder, which is part of the ReSharper Command Line Tools. In this article, we are going to set up the code inspection tool from the same package.

In case you missed it, the tool setup can be found in the previous article, titled Building a Build Server – Finding Duplicate Code Blocks in your Source.

Installing Jenkins plugins

The plugin that is going to collect the result for this build step is the Warnings Plug-in. You can install it by going to Manage Jenkins / Manage Plugins from the main page of your Jenkins installation and selecting it from the Available tab.

Testing the tool

After we successfully installed the Jenkins plugin, let’s create a build project to check how to integrate the tool with the build system. We are going to use the CodeDuplicates repository from the previous article.

Source Code Management

Use Git source code management with

Build

Post-build Actions

And that’s all. After we successfully build this project, there is going to be a Resharper InspectCode Warnings on the project menu where we can explore the various warnings from the ReSharper tool.
