Sonarqube + Jacoco - sonar does not read report path from properties

Question

Sonar scanner - 3.1

Java 1.7

I'm trying to configure sonar properties to get coverage from a multi-module project. Coverage is generated under the path: Module/build/jacoco/test.exec, so I wanted to add it to sonar.properties file according to documentation:

https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/PLUG/Code+Coverage+by+Unit+Tests+for+Java+Project

sonar.java.coveragePlugin=jacoco

sonar.jacoco.reportPaths=**/build/jacoco/*.exec

I was trying different combinations even with the absolute path but it seems that sonar-scanner doesn't see this property at all and always looks at default path. I'm always getting information in the logs that:

INFO: JaCoCoSensor: JaCoCo report not found : path\target\jacoco.exec

INFO: JaCoCoSensor: JaCoCo IT report not found: path\target\jacoco-it.exec

It does read other properties from the file like login, password, language, sources etc.

Also, the project is based on Gradle.

Answer 1

If you're building with Gradle, you should Analyze with Gradle. Specifically, there's no need for a sonar-project.properties file. Instead, you configure the SonarQube plugin in your build.gradle, and most of this should just work.
