Hi ,

I am using SonarQube 7.1 version

How can we compare different branches of a project and show it on a single dashboard in soanarqube.

Please provide a screenshot if already implemented and share the procedure…help

Hi,

Sorry but I am confused, the title and the content mention two different questions. Do you want to compare different projects or different branches of a single project?

Also can you explain with more details what you mean by compare?

Hi Benoit,

Sorry for the confusion you are true I want to compare two branches of a single project and show it on a single dashboard,which can show various metrics of the project.

Hey,

In old versions of sonarqube (6.0 an earlier) there was the “compare” option/plugin that allowed to compare the different analyzed versions of the same project.
It seems that currently this plugin / option is deprecated (6.7 and later)…

I don´t know if someone can expand this information, maybe still avaliable in developer or enterprise edition…

Hi,

I think its better to compare different branches and its metrics than analyzing the different versions,which defaults to master. As we are using the Community Edition I cannot see the branch analysis in the SonarQube Dashboard please help in this scenario if you can help.

Thanks,

First, branch support is only available on Developer Edition.
It’s not possible to compare different branches, you can have a high level dashboard of multiple project with the governance feature of Enterprise Edition.
