Asking if I can host results for multiple Visual Studio project scans in one Sonar project on our server
I have iterated through each VS project, build-wrapped it, and scanned it, but the results in the project on the server seem to get overwritten when the next VS project gets scanned.
I have about 160 hand-written unit tests to test legacy code against, and each one is a Visual Studio project. At this point I have a script that iterates through each unit test project, build-wraps the .vcxproj (which places the build wrapper log and dump in the unit test project directory) , then scans it using the same scanning properties and sonar project for each unit test. Am I able to configure the project to show separate results for each scan, or will I need to make a separate project on our server for each unit test?
You mention the build wrapper and Visual Studio, so I’d just like to make sure – are you really trying to analyze C/C++ code? Sometimes users think they need to use the build wrapper to analyze C# code, and that’s not the case.
I think what you ought to do is build wrap the script that iterates through building all the projects, rather than wrapping each project you’re iterating through. Therefore you just get one build wrapper output you can submit as a single project to analyze.
Otherwise, you’d need to scan all projects separately, which is probably overkill.
