Threshold for build fail

[Jakob Møbjerg Nielsen]

Just like the PMD plugin proposal (issue #8), this plugin should have configurable thresholds for Total, Error, Warning, Info, and Ignore.

I would love to start using the checkstyle and pmd plugins, but we simply have too many violations atm. I would need to start out with a high threshold, and gradually lower it over time.

Hi Jakob - which tool are you using exactly? https://github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle ? https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer ?

[Jakob Møbjerg Nielsen]

I'm using phpcs from squizlabs

[Markus Schulte]

If you have too many violations atm, I would suggest reducing reports generated by phpcs.

Maybe you want to try showing only errors

phpcs -n ...

Or show only violations in the most important package

phpcs ... some/package

In my opinion, reducing the reports to what gives you useful information is more useful than just cutting off the violations at some point.

Closing here, as "dead" issue.
