Change projectName for already existing project

[mkon4022]

We run SonarQube analysis from Jenkins
There is sonar.properties file and some parameters we provide in command line

For the first run we run SQ scan with -Dproject.settings=sonar.properties -DprojectName=test1 -DprojectKey=test_test
And in web UI we can see project name ‘test1’

when we want to change the name and run SQ scan with -Dproject.settings=sonar.properties -DprojectName=test2 -DprojectKey=test_test
In web UI we still see project name ‘test1’

Only when we change also projectkey we can see a new project name (since it probably creates new project in db)
scan with -Dproject.settings=sonar.properties -DprojectName=test2 -DprojectKey=test_test2

Hello @mkon4022,

@mkon4022

when we want to change the name and run SQ scan with -Dproject.settings=sonar.properties -DprojectName=test2 -DprojectKey=test_test
In web UI we still see project name ‘test1’

This should work except that the parameters are sonar.projectKey and sonar.projectName, not projectKey and projectName.

PS: This is an unrelated comment: Using sonar.properties for the project configuration file is not a good idea. It’s confusing with the SonarQube server side main configuration file (whose name is sonar.properties).
The default project configuration file is sonar-project.properties and I don’t see any good reason to change it to another name.
