Can I build multiple solutions and push the results into one Sonarqube project?

Hello!

Sonarqube Edition & Verison - Data Center Edition / 9.6.1

I am trying to understand whether there is a way to build multiple solutions that contain both C++ and C# code and push that result into a Single Sonar Project.

Previously, When using Community Edition, We used to run the BEGIN step(with the project key) and using MSBuild, build all the solutions(one-by-one) and run the END step. (We run the scan this way using a bat file).

Now, since C++ can be scanned in the Data Center Edition using the build wrapper, we tried to include the buildwrapper into our .bat file as it is mentioned here, C/C++/Objective-C | SonarQube Docs

But the problem here is, the buildwrapper-output.json that is being generated in each build is getting overwritten every time when the next solution is built.

I would really appreciate any suggestions on whether the current way we are running it is correct/is there an appropriate way to run this to cover all the c++ files and get an accurate result.

Thank you in advance!!!

Hello @aravindnss and welcome to our community.

It seems you are doing something like:

BEGIN STEP (with /d:sonar.cfamily.build-wrapper-output=<buildwrapperoutput_directory>)
for each solution to build
  build-wrapper --out-dir <buildwrapperoutput_directory> <msbuild rebuild command for solution>
END STEP

Instead, you should have a script with

for each solution to build
  <msbuild rebuild command for solution>

And then, you should do the following:

BEGIN STEP (with /d:sonar.cfamily.build-wrapper-output=<buildwrapperoutput_directory>)
  build-wrapper --out-dir <buildwrapperoutput_directory> script
END STEP

Does it help?

Hi @Geoffray,

Apologies for the late response and thank you so much for your reply.

I did try running it the way you suggested but I get the following error saying the BuildWrapperDump.json is empty.

ERROR: Error during SonarScanner execution
java.lang.IllegalStateException: The "build-wrapper-dump.json" file was found empty. Please make sure that:

Let me know if there are any more details you want me to share.

Thanks again for helping me with this!

Hi @Arvinder_Chopra

Are you sure you are doing a clean build (a rebuild)?
So your entire build is done in one script which is passed to the build wrapper?
Are you using docker containers to build?

Hi @Geoffray,

I missed the rebuild part, but after adding that I could run the scan successfully.

Thank you so much for your help :slight_smile:
