Inputs

mavenPOMFile - Maven POM file
string. Required. Default value: pom.xml.

Specifies the relative path from the repository root to the Maven POM file.

goals - Goal(s)
string. Default value: package.

options - Options
string.

publishJUnitResults - Publish to Azure Pipelines
boolean. Default value: true.

Specifies the option to publish the JUnit test results produced by the Maven build to Azure Pipelines. Each test results file matching Test Results Files will be published as a test run in Azure Pipelines.

testResultsFiles - Test results files
string. Required when publishJUnitResults = true. Default value: **/TEST-*.xml.

Specifies the path and pattern of test results files to publish. Wildcards can be used. More information about file matching patterns.
For example, **/TEST-*.xml for all XML files whose name starts with TEST-.
If no root path is specified, files are matched beneath the default working directory, the value of which is available in the variable $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory). For example, a value of **/TEST-*.xml will actually result in matching files from $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/**/TEST-*.xml.

testRunTitle - Test run title
string. Optional. Use when publishJUnitResults = true.

Specifies a name for the test run.

allowBrokenSymlinks - Allow broken symbolic links
Input alias: allowBrokenSymbolicLinks. boolean. Optional. Use when publishJUnitResults = true. Default value: true.

When set to false, fails the build when the task finds a broken symbolic link while publishing tests result.

codeCoverageToolOption - Code coverage tool
Input alias: codeCoverageTool. string. Allowed values: None, Cobertura, JaCoCo. Default value: None.

Specifies the code coverage tool.

codeCoverageClassFilter - Class inclusion/exclusion filters
Input alias: classFilter. string. Optional. Use when codeCoverageTool != None.

Specifies a comma-separated list of filters to include or exclude classes from collecting code coverage. For example, +:com.*,+:org.*,-:my.app*.*.

codeCoverageClassFilesDirectories - Class files directories
Input alias: classFilesDirectories. string. Optional. Use when codeCoverageTool = JaCoCo.

This field is required for a multi-module project.
Specifies a comma-separated list of relative paths from the Maven POM file to directories containing class files and archive files (JAR, WAR, etc.). Code coverage is reported for class files in these directories. For example, target/classes,target/testClasses.

codeCoverageSourceDirectories - Source files directories
Input alias: srcDirectories. string. Optional. Use when codeCoverageTool = JaCoCo.

This field is required for a multi-module project.
Specifies a comma-separated list of relative paths from the Maven POM file to source code directories. Code coverage reports use these to highlight source code. For example, src/java,src/Test.

codeCoverageFailIfEmpty - Fail when code coverage results are missing
Input alias: failIfCoverageEmpty. boolean. Optional. Use when codeCoverageTool != None. Default value: false.

Fails the build if code coverage did not produce any results to publish.

codeCoverageRestoreOriginalPomXml - Restore original pom.xml after task execution
Input alias: restoreOriginalPomXml. boolean. Optional. Use when codeCoverageTool != None. Default value: false.

Code coverage modifies pom.xml to produce results. Use this option if you need to keep the original pom.xml.

javaHomeOption - Set JAVA_HOME by

Input alias: sqAnalysisEnabled. boolean. Default value: false.

This option has changed from using version 1 of the Maven task to using the SonarQube and SonarCloud marketplace extensions.
Enable this option to run SonarQube or SonarCloud analysis after executing goals in the Goals field. The install or package goal should run first. Before this Maven task, you must also add a Prepare Analysis Configuration task from one of the extensions to the build pipeline.

isJacocoCoverageReportXML - Use XML Jacoco reports for SonarQube analysis
boolean. Optional. Use when sqAnalysisEnabled = true && codeCoverageTool = JaCoCo. Default value: false.

Uses XML Jacoco reports for SonarQube analysis. Learn more about test reports.

sqMavenPluginVersionChoice - SonarQube scanner for Maven version
string. Required when sqAnalysisEnabled = true. Allowed values: latest (Use latest release), pom (Use version declared in your pom.xml). Default value: latest.

Specifies the SonarQube Maven plugin version to use. You can use the latest version or rely on the version in your pom.xml.

Runs the Checkstyle tool with the default Sun checks. Results are uploaded as build artifacts.

pmdRunAnalysis - Run PMD
Input alias: pmdAnalysisEnabled. boolean. Default value: false.
