Golang: Failed to find test file for package

Hello, after several weeks and multiple tries, and some posts here and issues on jira that are closed, but don’t provide any solution or cause of the problem, I am hereby writing this post which would probably be similar to others already open (but currently without a solution).

Environment

golang version: 1.19
golang modules: yes
sonar-scanner:
     INFO: SonarScanner 4.7.0.2747
     INFO: Java 11.0.14.1 Eclipse Adoptium (64-bit)

The Error

Given this context, my error lines are the following ones:

I have tried to use different paths in the go-test-report.out generated by go test, but any seems to work.

Which is the format expected by that sonar sensor to make it work?

Anyone has any suggestion?

Hi @Hammond95,

From what I can see in the logs, the problem is in the “Package” property. Have you tried setting it as a relative path?
Can you please send me a go test code snippet that is causing this error?
Thank you!

All the best,

Irina

Hi Irina,
yes that was also my conclusion, and as you can see on my previous comment I’ve tried to manually change the output and format of Package but none of those changes did work.

Could you point me out to the right docs or give me a working example of the property to change in sonar-project.properties?

BR,
Martin
