How to suppress all warnings using MSBuild

In Jenkins

  • Happened upon this Googling "how to suppress MSBuild warnings in Jenkins"
  • So much noise like the following in our console output, couldn't find the meat
    Missing XML comment for publicly visible type or member
    
  • Inherited Jenkins on a Windows server

  1. Manage Jenkins > Global Tool Configuration > MSBuild
  2. Add /clp:ErrorsOnly to the Default parameters enter image description here

The best way is to fix the issues that are causing the warnings.

If you must ignore the warnings (e.g. you have inherited a project with so many that you can't see the wood for the trees), you could try changing the WarningLevel property, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/13b90fz7.aspx


If you would like to suppress MSB3270 only then you can set in project file just

<PropertyGroup>
  <ResolveAssemblyWarnOrErrorOnTargetArchitectureMismatch>
    None
  </ResolveAssemblyWarnOrErrorOnTargetArchitectureMismatch>
</PropertyGroup>

msbuild /clp:ErrorsOnly
