Andreas Dangel reassigned MPMD-219:
-----------------------------------
Assignee: Andreas Dangel
> Maven PMD Plugin ignores PMD processing errors
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MPMD-219
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPMD-219
> Project: Maven PMD Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: PMD
> Affects Versions: 3.6
> Reporter: Andreas Dangel
> Assignee: Andreas Dangel
> Priority: Minor
>
> If a source file cannot be parsed by PMD, the error is reported as a
> "processing error" and continues with the next file.
> However, the maven plugin doesn't use this information. This leads to a
> situation, where project build is successful despite PMD violations - because
> PMD skipped files which it can't parse.
> This is not such a big problem if the files are compiled before (e.g.
> executing PMD in a phase later than compile) - as the compiler plugin would
> fail the build already.
> But if "pmd:pmd" or "pmd:check" is called directly, maven would not fail the
> build.
> See also https://sourceforge.net/p/pmd/mailman/message/34715839/
> I'll provide a PR for this bug.
