Jenkins Error - errorWhenCurrentBuildResultIsWorseOrEqualTo.groovy

Question

I am trying to setup a Continuous Delivery pipeline using Jenkins for the address-manager application built using Java and S4/HANA Extension SDK. But upon starting Jenkins and starting the app for pipeline build on localhost, I see that the job which I schedule as a multi branch fails.

The errors I get via stage view looks like this: Jenkins Error

And some error messages that popped up are:

13:31:37  [PMD] Plug-in Result: Failed - <a href="pmdResult">3 
warnings</a> of <a href="pmdResult/HIGH">priority High</a> exceed 
the threshold of 0 by 3

13:31:37  ***
13:31:37  hudson.AbortException: Build was ABORTED and marked as 
FAILURE. Please examine the PMD reports.
13:31:37  ***

I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Upon running docker ps , I do see two containers that are active.

docker ps

Any pointers to proceed forward would be appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 1

pmd is a tool for analysis of code, which is part of the pipeline. It has discovered flaws in your application, which is why the pipeline fails. I believe the message is quite clear about that.

13:31:37 [PMD] Plug-in Result: Failed - 3 warnings of priority High exceed the threshold of 0 by 3

Please examine the PMD reports.

To resolve this, look into the results of pmd and see what it complains about. Once those issues are fixed, that stage will be green and the rest of the pipeline will run.

You'll find the pmd report when you click on the failed build, in the sidebar on the left.

This is one of the good things about using a CI/CD pipeline. It discovers flaws in your code, which would not have been discovered otherwise. To learn more about the qualities checked by this pipeline, please have a look at this document: https://github.com/SAP/cloud-s4-sdk-pipeline/blob/master/doc/pipeline/cloud-qualities.md

Kind regards and a merry Christmas
