Sonar project-properties file

Question

I am using OCLint on an Objective C project to obtain a SonarQube profile.

Now my IOS Objective C project contains a src directory with multiple sub src directories. In my sonar-project.properties file there is a following entry

sonar.sources=MySrcFolder/

Now within this src folder i want to run the sonar profile on multiple subfolders and exclude some third party src folders. Can anyone help me with this ? As it stands now, sonar runs the profile on all src in any of the above folders subfolders ?

Answer 1

You can do it only with sonar.sources property or with the sonar.exclusions and sonar.inclusions properties.

Example:

MySrcFolder
    src1
    src2
    src3
    src4

If you want to analyze only src1 and src3 then,

1) sonar.sources=MySrcFolder/src1,MySrcFolder/src3

OR

2)

sonar.sources=MySrcFolder
sonar.exclusions=src2/**,src4/**

OR

3)

sonar.sources=MySrcFolder
sonar.inclusions=src1/**,src3/**

Following rules are applied in the exclusions and inclusions properties:

*   Match zero or more characters
**  Match zero or more directories
?   Match a single character
file:   Prefix to define a pattern based on absolute path

Answer 2

Add below lines to sonar-scanner-v.x.x/conf/sonar-scanner.properties file. Use Comma-separated paths to analysis multiple modules or projects.

sonar.sources= mainDir/subDir/src, mainDir/subDir/subDir/src,...

Or

Set base directory with **sonar.projectBaseDir** param.

Thanks to the param, you can give relative path to sonar.sources's params.

Then

Run sonar-scanner.bat file in mainDir or root in directory of above sources.
