Settings

ReportGenerator has some options which allow to control its behavior. These settings can be changed in appsettings.json or via command line parameters.

Risk Hotspots

Command line parameter	Explanation
riskHotspotsAnalysisThresholds:metricThresholdForCyclomaticComplexity=30	Threshold for cyclomatic complexity metric.
riskHotspotsAnalysisThresholds:metricThresholdForCrapScore=15	Threshold for crap score metric
riskHotspotsAnalysisThresholds:metricThresholdForNPathComplexity=200	Threshold for NPath complexity metric

Other settings

Command line parameter	Explanation
settings:numberOfReportsParsedInParallel=1	The number of XML reports / coverage files that are processed in parallel. Higher values will result in faster execution times but memory usage will grow too.
settings:maximumNumberOfHistoricCoverageFiles=100	Maximum number of historic coverage files that get parsed.
settings:renderPngFallBackImagesForHistoryCharts=false	Indicates whether PNG images are rendered as a fallback for history charts. Those images get displayed if JavaScript is disabled. Rendering of the images takes quite a lot of time. You should only enable this, if you work in an environment where JavaScript is disabled (e.g. Azure DevOps, Jenkins). For report types HTMLSummaryand HTMLInline the PNG images are always generated.
settings:cachingDuringOfRemoteFilesInMinutes=10080	The caching duration of code files that are downloaded from remote servers in minutes.
settings:disableRiskHotspots=false	Indicates whether risk hotspots should be disabled or not.
