Steps to reproduce

Sonar properties:

• Global SonarQube=>Administration=>General Settings=>Pull Requests=>

sonar.pullrequest.provider = Bitbucket Server
sonar.pullrequest.bitbucketserver.serverUrl = <our bitbucket server URL>
sonar.pullrequest.bitbucketserver.token.secured = <a valid personal access token from Bitbucket server that has write access to the repository>

• Project level SonarQube=>Administration=>General Settings=>Pull Requests=>

sonar.pullrequest.bitbucketserver.project = my_bitbucket_projectkey
sonar.pullrequest.bitbucketserver.repository = sonarqube

• sonar-project.properties file

sonar.host.url=<url of the sonarqube server>
sonar.projectKey=testc
sonar.projectName=Example of C/C++ Scan (with BuildWrapper)
sonar.projectVersion=1.0
sonar.sources=src
sonar.login=<sonar login token>
sonar.cfamily.build-wrapper-output=build_wrapper_output_directory
sonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8

• Sonar-Scanner command execution:

C:\sqscanner\SonarScanner-v4.2.0.1873\build-wrapper-win-x86-64 --out-dir build_wrapper_output_directory build.bat

And then

C:\sqscanner\SonarScanner-v4.2.0.1873\bin\sonar-scanner -X -Dsonar.projectVersion=1.0.2 -Dsonar.pullrequest.key=7 -Dsonar.pullrequest.branch=sqpr -Dsonar.pullrequest.base=develop

This message refers to the mibexsoftware/sonar-bitbucket-plugin, not the native integration with Bitbucket Server provided by SonarQube v7.9 that is described in the documentation on Pull Request Analysis. Let’s ignore that for now.

Does a Pull Request show up when you browse your SonarQube Project?

Do any warnings appear?

[nravi (Ravindran)]

Yes. It does. I can also see a hyperlink to the PR at top-right of SonarQube dashboard.

[nravi (Ravindran)]

Indeed the Pull Request shows up. It also shows a hyperlink to the pull request at Bitbucket server. However, there are no warnings.

[nravi (Ravindran)]

Any leads on the issue we are facing?

[Colin]

What do you see when you open the PR link from SonarQube? You should see something like this that you can click on for more details.

It doesn’t look like the PR raised any issues (at least from what I can see of the screenshot shared), so I wouldn’t expect there to be any in-line issues on the Bitbucket side.

[nravi (Ravindran)]

We can reach the PR page after clicking the PR link from SonarQube. But we miss the SonarQube information on the Pull Request at the Bitbucket side.

[Colin]

It looks like we’re dealing with quite some old PR analyses (the PR you shared a screenshot of is from April 3rd, while the SonarQube analysis was done on… March 26th?)

How about a fresh PR build/analysis?

If that doesn’t help, I’d recommend…

• raising your log level to TRACE level (Global Administration > System > Log Level),
• triggere an analysis you expect to result in PR Decoration and wait for the PR to be visible in SonarQube
• changing your log level back to INFO level
• attach the ce.log file from your logs directory

[nravi (Ravindran)]

After much investigation we found that we were using all the properties correctly yet the decoration was not happening. However, due to an unconnected issue we had to restart our Bitbucket Server’s reverse proxy that has resolved the PR decoration issue too. Guess the proxy was blocking the passage of the decorator.

Thank you very much for your time on this issue, Colin.

It seems you did the heavy lifting! Glad it’s sorted out for you now. Happy PR Decorating.
