Could not get any cobertura coverage info in SonarQube

SonarQube Server / Community Build

  • versions used: AzureDevops Server 2019.1 / SonarQube Community 6.7.7 / Flex Plugin 2.5.1 / Scanner 4.1.0.1829
  • error observed: no cobertura coverage info

Hi, within an Azure Devops Server build Pipeline, a cobertura coverage report is generated (with an ng test --code-coverage=true --sourceMap=false call)

The cobertura report is OK, since coverage info is well displayed within AzureDevopsServer

However, upon calling the sonar scanner, the report parameter (sonar.flex.cobertura.reportPath=./coverage/cobertura-coverage.xml) seems to be ignored, as no mention of cobertura appears with a -X flagged analysis

No path issue though as if I use the generic coverage parameter, it chokes on ill formed xml. I may provide the coverage report if necessary.

Sonar-project.properties:

sonar.projectKey=com.my.project
sonar.projectName=MyProject
sonar.projectVersion=1.0
sonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8
sonar.sources=src
sonar.exclusions=**/node_modules/**,**/*.spec.ts,**/*.less,**/*/app.module.ts,**/*/environments/*,**/*/app/models/*,**/*/*.mock.ts
sonar.tests=src
sonar.test.inclusions=**/*.spec.ts
sonar.ts.tslintconfigpath=tslint.json
sonar.flex.cobertura.reportPath=./coverage/cobertura-coverage.xml
sonar.host.url=https://xxx/sonar

According to the Test Coverage documentation it should be:

sonar.flex.cobertura.reportPaths=coverage/cobertura-coverage.xml

You forgot to add s at the end (reportPath instead of reportPaths):

Hi Adam, good spot, I fixed the propertyname.
Alas, it doesn’t change anything in the analysis behaviour.

At least one form the following lines should appear in you log file:

  1. Analyzing Cobertura report: coverage/cobertura-coverage.xml
  2. Cobertura xml report not found: coverage/cobertura-coverage.xml
  3. No Cobertura report provided (see ‘sonar.flex.cobertura.reportPaths’ property)

Please check which one you have. If no one, then Flex Cobertura sensor is not executed at all.

Here is the source code for version 2.5.1: org.sonar.plugins.flex.cobertura.CoberturaSensor

Hi Adam, thanks for your time, and I can confirm I don’t have any mention of cobertura in the logs with a -X analysis

The only mention of sensor is for PHP, here is an excerpt of the analysis log:

Even with a fake path like: sonar.flex.cobertura.reportPaths=fake/cobertura-coverage.xml I don’t get any hit:

10:33:53.259 DEBUG: ‘Flex Cobertura’ skipped because there is no related file in current project
10:33:53.259 DEBUG: ‘Flex Cobertura’ skipped because there is no related file in current project

I’ll try with an Oracle JDK and not an AdoptOpenJDK one

Do you have flex files in your project? By default, the flex language is associated to files which name ends with “.as”.

8

Hi, no I don’t, I just have typescript (ts) files, and a cobertura coverage xml file.
I’ll give it a shot with a dummy .as file

9

So yes, it was the issue, one has to have at least 1 .as file to trigger the cobertura report analysis! Thanks Pierre-Yves for your insight

I’ll now have to deal with paths (antislash / slash) within the cobertura report file, but that’s OK

@Vinzz0602

Please next time be more explicit that you are analyzing TS code (adding typescript tag will help to avoid confusion). Using Flex property to import coverage for TS is clearly not a way to go (only coverage on Flex files will be saved).

So I can suggest you 3 ways to go:

  • generate LCOV coverage report for your TS code and import it with sonar.typescript.lcov.reportPaths or sonar.javascript.lcov.reportPaths (since SonarTS 2.0/SonarJS 6.0).
  • convert your cobertura report into generic sonarqube coverage format (check docs here)
  • try to find community plugin which import cobertura on any language

P.S. Please consider updating SQ you are using, you are using old LTS, the new one is 7.9. Otherwise we might not being able to help you as the version you are using is not maintained

@Lena Hi, and you are totally right, I should have set this tag.

Indeed, I also came to the conclusion that the sonar.javascript.lcov.reportPaths was the way to go, and that for typescript, the flex plugin wasn’t necessary at all.

Thanks for this solution!
