I am using SonarQube 5.1 with MSBuild SonarQube Runner for our quality inspection. Currently SCM support is not there although I have already installed TFVC plugin. I get the following log from the analyze process
07:18:22 07:18:22.352 INFO - Sensor SCM Sensor
07:18:22 07:18:22.352 INFO - No SCM system was detected. You can use the 'sonar.scm.provider' property to explicitly specify it.
07:18:22 07:18:22.352 INFO - Sensor SCM Sensor (done) | time=0ms
Then I set the following properties in the general "sonar.properites" file loacated in \sonarqube-5.1.2\conf folder (which I might be doing wrong)
sonar.scm.enabled=true
sonar.scm.provider=tfvc
sonar.tfvc.username=myTFSusername
sonar.tfvc.password.secured=myTFSpassword
I guess these properties should be set in the "sonar-project.properties" file and passed at the time of analysis (correct me if I am wrong). But the problem is since I am using MSBuild SonarQube Runner, sonar-project.properties file is not used anymore and the project properties are passed at the analysis time. If that is the case how should I pass them in?
I searched a lot but could not find a proper solution in this manner and I'd be very glad if someone could help.
Thanks in advance.
Additional properties are passed to the MSBuild SonarQube Runner during its begin phase using the following syntax: /d:key=value.
So, you can pass all of them:
MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner begin /k:... /n:... /v:... /d:sonar.scm.enabled=true /d:sonar.scm.provider=tfvc /d:sonar.tfvc.username=... /d:sonar.tfvc.password.secured=....
Auto-detection of the SCM will work if there is a $tf at the "project base dir" level. That directory is computed as the first ancestor path common to all your *.csproj files. You can see its value following the file generated during the end phase: .sonarqube\out\sonar-project.properties. Look for the sonar.projectBaseDir property value near the end of the file. See https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SONARMSBRU-8 for details.
