It is stated that the Long living branches pattern can be configured globally under “Configuration > General > Detection of long-lived branches” however this area does not exist. I need to set the branch pattern globally as I do not want to have to go into our many projects to update this and update it for every new project we add.
Is it possible to update this globally or is the documentation wrong?
The documentation is wrong, it’s actually a leftover of the SonarQube documentation were global configuration is possible.
We plan to support configuration at organization level on SonarCloud. See MMF-1650 to track progress and vote for it.
Meanwhile, you could create a script that uses the web api (/api/settings/set) to automatically update the settings for all your existing projects.
What’s the status of this? The JIRA ticket MMF-1650 does not seem to exist any more. Setting the configuration on every project individually - even if it can be automated - is quite cumbersome. Especially if new projects are added on a regular basis.
