Issue with Emailing SonarQube Analysis Report from Jenkins Job

SonarQube Server / Community Build
1

We are using Sonarqube community edition 9.9.1, and it’s deployed through docker container.

I’m currently facing an issue with sending out the SonarQube analysis report via email from a Jenkins job. Despite successfully completing the analysis, the email attachment contains Jenkins build logs instead of the SonarQube report.
The report is displayed on the sonarqube dashboard.

The stage block in jenskinsfile is as below, check out he post block.

stage('sonarqube-analysis') {
  steps {
    dir("${SOURCE_PATH}") {
      script {
        def scannerHome = tool 'SonarScanner for MSBuild 5.13'
        echo "${scannerHome}"
        echo "JAVA_HOME - ${env.JAVA_HOME}"
        env.SCANNERHOME = scannerHome
        echo "${env.SCANNERHOME}"
        echo "${SCANNERHOME}"
        withSonarQubeEnv('Sonarqube') {
          try {
            bat label: 'msbuild', script: '''
              dotnet %SCANNERHOME%\\SonarScanner.MSBuild.dll begin  /k:\"Test\" /d:sonar.verbose=true
              msbuild.exe eBankit.CCS.sln /nologo /nr:false /m /nologo /verbosity:minimal /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:DeployDefaultTarget=WebPublish /p:WebPublishMethod=FileSystem /p:PublishBaseUrl="%OUTPUT_PATH%" /p:platform="Any CPU" /p:configuration="Release"  /p:WarningLevel=0 /p:RestorePackages=false /p:DebugType=None /p:VisualStudioVersion="16.0"
              dotnet %SCANNERHOME%\\SonarScanner.MSBuild.dll end
            '''
          } catch (err) {
            currentBuild.result = 'FAILURE'
            error(err.getMessage())
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }

  post {
    always {
      // Send email with SonarQube analysis report
      emailext body: 'SonarQube analysis report is attached.',
               subject: 'SonarQube Analysis Report',
               to: 'junaid.mohammed@example.com',
               attachLog: true,
               attachmentsPattern: '**/target/sonar/report-task.txt'  
    }
  }
}

How can i get the reports to send rather than the build logs

Hi,

That report-task.txt file is an internal implementation file & not intended for human consumption. Further, it doesn’t contain what you think it does.

You may be interested instead in reporting the Quality Gate status to Jenkins, and then reflecting that in your email.

 
HTH,
