[API components/search] The total of my projects is still 60 when I have 154 in the app

SonarQube Server / Community Build

  • Version :
    Sonarqube 8.9.3LTS (build 48735) ;

  • What I want :
    I would like to get the total of my projects with the API : /api/components/search?qualifiers=TRK&ps=500

  • What I get :
    I always get this response {"paging":{"pageIndex":1,"pageSize":500,"total":60}
    I have 154 projects.

  • What I did :

First, When i use a browser client, like RESTED Client, or with the browser directly, I get this json (>20ko) response :

`{
  "paging": {
    "pageIndex": 1,
    "pageSize": 500,
    "total": 154
  },`

When I use php’s httpClient or CuRL commands from php I always get a total of 60 projects.

I use Symfony 5.4.3 and Php 8.1.0.

With native httpClient :

$url=$this->getParameter('sonar.url')."/api/components/search?qualifiers=TRK&ps=500";
      $response = $this->client->request('GET', $url,
       [ 'auth_basic' => [$this->getParameter('sonar.token'),''], 'max_duration' => 21.7 ,'timeout' => 2.5,
         'headers' => [ 'Accept' => self::$strContentType, 'Content-Type' => self::$strContentType,] ]
        );

With curl :

$ch = curl_init();
      try {
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
              "Cache-Control: no-cache",
              "content-type:application/json;charset=utf-8"
            ));

        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $this->getParameter('sonar.token') . ":" .'');
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0');
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, true);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

        $data=curl_exec($ch);
        if (curl_errno($ch)) { echo curl_error($ch); }
        $http_code = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
          if($http_code == intval(200)){ echo "Ressource valide"; }
            else{ echo "Ressource introuvable : " . $http_code; }
        } catch (\Throwable $th) { throw $th;
        } finally { curl_close($ch); }

So, I don’t know why I always 60 projects. I have no errors in debug mode.

Hey there.

GET /api/components/search will return the projects that a user has Browse permissions on (public projects, or private projects where the user is granted the Browse permission). This behavior is different than say, GET /api/projects/search which is only available to system administrators and will return all projects.

So I would suggest that:

  • You make sure that the user the token was generated for (being used in your application) has the same permissions as your own user.
  • You compare the projects returned in each response (browser vs. the app) – any noticable differences? (for example, the latter only returning public projects, or projects with a specific permission set)
