Hi,  
I’ve a multi module gradle project and, after creating the code coverage for a submodule (and the [Generic test execution report](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube/latest/analyzing-source-code/test-coverage/generic-test-data/#generic-test-execution) ) I get this “error” when running `gradle sonar --debug'`:

```auto
2024-04-13T17:49:50.368+0100 [INFO] [org.sonarqube.gradle.SonarTask] Parsing C:\Users\dfmic\Desktop\Projects\gradle-frontend\frontend\coverage\sonar-report.xml
2024-04-13T17:49:50.397+0100 [INFO] [org.sonarqube.gradle.SonarTask] Imported test execution data for 0 files
2024-04-13T17:49:50.397+0100 [INFO] [org.sonarqube.gradle.SonarTask] Test execution data ignored for 1 unknown files, including:
./frontend\tests\main.test.tsx

```

As a consequence, I can’t see the unit test count in sonarqube.  
I also tried to add the absolute path in the tests of `sonar-report.xml` but nothing has changed.

Repo to replicate the issue: [Github gradle-frontend Repo](https://github.com/DFMichelangelo/gradle-frontend)

Similar Issue: [Multi-module generic test execution report not picked up by scanner](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/multi-module-generic-test-execution-report-not-picked-up-by-scanner/42719)

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your help

Hey there.

As noted in the template post – what version of SonarQube are you using? You can find this info in the footer of your SonarQube instance.

Thanks for the info, and thanks for the reproducer.

I’m not getting any further than you are (and I’ve tried lots of different file paths in the test repot), so I’ve flagged this for some expert attention.

Hello,

Could you please execute the `sonar` task with the option `--dumpToFile=out.properties` and share the content of the generated properties file with us?

Best,  
Margarita

Hello @DFMichelangelo,  
Thanks for your reply. It seems to me that the problem is that your report is defined as a property for the root project and not of the submodule, but the sources are in the `frontend` submodule.

Could you please add the test reports property to the sonar configuration of the submodule and send me the properties list again?

Best,  
Margarita

Hello @Margarita_Nedzelska,  
Thank you for your help,  
I’ve added the property to the submodule `frontend`, [Github link of the change](https://github.com/DFMichelangelo/gradle-frontend/blob/3313bae5cde028aee9b9b1739800b169ff2f57a9/frontend/build.gradle#L9)

Worth to mention this [sonar community discussion](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/sonar-testexecutionreportpaths-is-not-working-at-module-level/42519/4) that lead me to add the test report property in the general properties of sonar

Thank you again for your time,
