Coverage for mobile ios application

SonarQube Server / Community Build
1

Hi Team,

we are using sonar * Enterprise Edition * v10.7 (96327).

We have big coverage.xml for mobile ios apps which has around 146980 lines. When we try to pass this coverage.xml , sonar is complaining that xml is not valid.

While troubleshooting it, i tried to take the same coverage.xml but with the lesser entries around 85000. It was working fine but when the lines are more around 90000 or so it did not work, complaining the same “xml is not valid” issue.

May i know do we have any limit on the lines to be processed by sonar ?

PS: The xml is valid, there is no issue in the xml.

Can you please suggest ?

Thanks !!

Hey there @mohit.sharma

I tried to reproduce this and couldn’t! With over 1,000,000 Lines of Code in my generic coverage file, it parsed successfully.

INFO: Sensor Generic Coverage Report
INFO: Parsing /Users/colin/Source/generictest/generic.xml
INFO: Imported coverage data for 1 files
INFO: Sensor Generic Coverage Report (done) | time=858ms

It sounds like maybe the issue lies in the part of the report after the first 85,000 lines. Try submitting only the 2nd “half” – is it successful or do you receive an error?
