Re: Only one cause is shown in list view Not an expert, just a user of the plugin, but my expectation is once you fail, you fail.; you can't fail again. Most jobs stop/exit upon first failure. Perhaps what you are seeking to do is distinguish between failure that reports a failure (eg: java.io.IOException) and different subsequent causes. In that case, you probably want multiline regex that match the different contexts. That was our scenario. Or just match the specific second failure/cause(s).

Re: Only one cause is shown in list view

Hi Ian Williams, thank you for your participation. After a build fails, the plugin uses the configured set of regular expressions to scan the log for failure causes. Multiple causes are possible. All failure causes are detected as expected, but not displayed in the list view. The build monitor, for example, displays two failure causes, the list view just one.

Re: Only one cause is shown in list view In case "someone" is using plugin with jenkins jobs executing automated tests to gather statistics on test failure causes it would be extremely beneficial to be able to list all failure causes (defined in the Failure Cause Management section).
