Previously the Warnings NG plugin (or the Warnings plugin, that came before it) was tracking a reference build on it's own with ability to forget previously remembered reference build from the job page.

 

Apparently (see https://github.com/jenkinsci/warnings-ng-plugin/blob/main/doc/Documentation.md#configure-the-selection-of-the-reference-build-baseline) this has changed now and the reference build tracking is done by the https://github.com/jenkinsci/forensics-api-plugin meta-plugin and the only implementation of it called https://github.com/jenkinsci/git-forensics-plugin.

 

This became a huge problem for my Subversion project, where without a reference build functionality I'm not seeing which issues (CS, PMD, etc.) were added/fixed by a particular build triggered by a particular Subversion commit.

 

The original reference build detection (last successful build prior to current one) worked perfectly fine by me.

 

Please restore reference build functionality for Subversion Jenkins jobs.

 

Thank you.
