How to analyze C project with compile_commands.json

SonarQube
1
  • which versions are you using (SonarQube, Scanner, Plugin, and any relevant extension)
    • SonarQube - 9.9.2
    • sonar-scanner-5.0.1.3006-windows
  • how is SonarQube deployed: zip, Docker, Helm
    • zip
  • what are you trying to achieve
    • analyze C project with compilation database

hi
I am using SonarQube to analyze a C project with a compilation database and this is my command
sonar-scanner.bat -X -D"sonar.projectKey=Test1030-2" -D"sonar.sources=C:\ProgramData\Jenkins\.jenkins\workspace\sonarTest" -D"sonar.inclusions=**/*.c, **/*.h" -D"sonar.sourceEncoding=utf-8" -D"sonar.cfamily.compile-commands=C:\ProgramData\Jenkins\.jenkins\workspace\sonarTest\compile_commands.json" -D"sonar.host.url=http://localhost:9000" -D"sonar.login=sqp_f****************d87ed"

But I encountered the following error: “The Compilation Database JSON file was found but 0 C/C++/Objective-C.” I want to know if my compile_commands.json file is not being recognized correctly or if there is another reason for this?

and this is the format of my compile_commands.json :

[
{
  "directory": "C:/ProgramData/Jenkins/.jenkins/workspace/sonarTest",
  "command": "C:/ITEGCC/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe -DAPP=2 -O3 -g3 -DNDEBUG  -o CMakeFiles/PWR_Platform/app_func_sub.c.obj -c C:/ProgramData/Jenkins/.jenkins/workspace/sonarTest/app_func_sub.c",
  "file": "C:/ProgramData/Jenkins/.jenkins/workspace/sonarTest/app_func_sub.c"
},
{
  "directory": "C:/ProgramData/Jenkins/.jenkins/workspace/sonarTest",
  "command": "C:/ITEGCC/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe -DAPP=2 -O3 -g3 -DNDEBUG  -o CMakeFiles/PWR_Platform/app_key.c.obj -c C:/ProgramData/Jenkins/.jenkins/workspace/sonarTest/app_key.c",
  "file": "C:/ProgramData/Jenkins/.jenkins/workspace/sonarTest/app_key.c"
}
]

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

First, you’ve just published an analysis token to the internet. I hope you’ve already revoked it. :slight_smile:

sonar.sources should be relative to the directory analysis takes place in (which should be project root). sonar.cfamily.compile-commands can also be relative (to keep things simple).

Can you edit it and try again?

Also, there’s no particular reason to set sonar.inclusions like you have; unless you’re implicitly trying to exclude other languages? If that’s not the goal, you can drop it.

thanks for your attention, Ann. I have removed the authentication token as you suggested.
Additionally, I tried using relative paths and removed the sonar.inclusions parameter, but I still encountered the same issue. I noticed that all my files have the message “not marked as unchanged: file added.”

Could this be the cause of the problem?

Hi,

I don’t think so. I’m going to flag this for more expert eyes.

Hi @unsc1013 ,

would you be able to share the entire analysis log? I am going to send you a private message where you can share it privately.
