Can't find how to configure Main branch

SonarQube Server / Community Build
1

SonarQube has been running on our project for several days now, but on the Overview panel of the project we see this message :

“master” branch has not been analyzed yet and you have multiple branches already. It looks like it is not your Main Branch, check your configuration.

Problem is, I can’t find where to set this in the project configuration. On another project also running SonarQube there’s a configuration menu which lets you set which branch is the Main one, but this menu isn’t visible here. What are we missing ?

We’re using SonarQube Developer Edition v2025.1.1 (104738), deployed through Docker.

Hi,

Are you using two different SonarQube instances? If not, what do you see when you try to go to the same place on the project where the menu isn’t visible?

 
Thx,

Hi, we’re using a single SonarQube instance. As for what I see, it’s more what I don’t see, namely there’s a “configuration” menu on the top right (just before the “Project Information” one) in that other project, which is simply not there in the project I want to configure.

Hi,

Are you sure you have Administer Project permissions on the project with no main branch?

I just checked, it seems I’m not. I’ll see with our admin then, thanks.
