Hey there.

I’m not sure what you mean by this, can you share a screenshot?

That’s all fine, but I think you should come back to what I mentioned in my last response.

You can see exactly what files are being indexed by the scanner by turning on DEBUG level logging (sonar-scanner -X or setting sonar.verbose=true). Things to watch out for are things like third-party packages/libraries that should be excluded.

In the logs, you’ll see lines like this:

If you find such files, you can exclude files from analysis.
