Hi,

Actually, I have a problem because I don’t know how can I get the Sonar read a JSON report and display this data on the dashboard? I was reading this discussion ([https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sonarqube/HcrkZKVCC6k/discussion](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sonarqube/HcrkZKVCC6k/discussion)) but it seems that Generic Test Coverage Plugin has been deleted. Is there any other possibility?

I tried using the SonarQube WebApi, especially the api/ce/submit command, but when I upload the report the data doesn’tt display on the dashboard.

I hope you can help me with this issue. Thanks for all!

Hi @albert17villar,

Do you see anything in the logs? Perhaps the format is not correct, and thus not displayable.

Also, is there a reason for not using the [scanner](https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SCAN/Analyzing+with+SonarQube+Scanner)? That would probably be much easier compared to making webservice calls.
