Hi,
We have sonrqube 7.7 that’s linked to GitHub Enterprise. We’ve found PullRequest decoration working fine for integrating new features, but for maintenance work it lacks some visibility.
For the instance I have a file that contains 100 smells (where entire project is 1000smells).
Then when I create a Pull Request that fixes 100 smells from that file, but introduces 1 new smell. My Pull Request gets decorates as failure - because new code contains 1 smell. Logic of PullRequest analysis ignores the fact that my change has removed other problems - it just focuses on introduced issues.
That logic is streamlined what API offers me at the moment - when calling api/measures/component
of my PR/Branch (internal api) - I’m getting only number of introduced smells.
What I would expect is that:
- There is a way to configure PullRequest plugin to either report newly introduced issues. Or difference between base-branch and pull request branch
- There is an API that reduces full metrics of PR/branch - not just newly introduced issues.
Cheers,
Piotr
