Ratcheting Quality Gate conditions: Fail Quality Gate if coverage decreases from last analysis

SonarQube version: 7.9.1 LTS sonar.leak.period = previous_version We want our Quality Gate to fail if coverage decreases during the leak period, regardless of whether it is still above our threshold of 70% (Example: If coverage from last analysis was 75%, quality gate should fail if coverage on next analysis is 74.9% or lower). In older versions of SonarQube this could be accomplished by using the condition “Coverage, Delta since last analysis, less than, 0”. Is there a way to do that with t…
