SonarQube Lcov.info not found

Question

I'm having an issue with a SonarQube instance. We're printing out lcov information from istanbul, but sonarqube can't find the lcov information to generate code coverage. The project.properties file is here with the lcov information now removed :

sonar.projectKey=*****
sonar.projectName=*****
sonar.projectVersion=1.0
sonar.host.url=***********
sonar.sources=.
sonar.projectBaseDir=./app
sonar.exclusions=**/bower_components/**/*.*,**/vendor/**/*.*
sonar.language=js
sonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8
sonar.verbose=true
sonar.log.level=DEBUG

but the logs from sonarqube say it's still looking for it :

11:19:12.551 INFO: 177/225 files analyzed, current file: /app/app/target/schema/list/target-schema-list-controller_test.js

If it's not getting the location from the project properties where I'm running the sonarqube program from, then where else can it be reading the config from ?

Answer 1

You should add this setting in your sonar-project.properties file:

sonar.javascript.lcov.reportPaths=path/to/coverage/lcov.info

Also, in some CI tools (in my case is Gitlab CI) you might have to specify that the lcov.info file is an "artifact" so the sonar scanner job doesn't delete it

Answer 2

Remember the project folder inside the coverage folder

sonar.javascript.lcov.reportPaths=coverage/<project-name>/lcov.info
