It is not located in project basedir

I am using CMake to generate Visual studio solution file and the build directory which has VS solution file (*.sln) is different from the source directory. For example, my source directory is at E:\Source\Project and my build directory is at E:\Buid\Project.

The scanner is executed at the build directory like this:
C:\Users\admin.sonar\sonar-scanner-4.7.0.2747-windows\bin/sonar-scanner.bat -D"sonar.organization=xxxxx" -D"sonar.projectKey=xxxxx" -D"sonar.sources=E:/Source/Project" -D"sonar.cfamily.build-wrapper-output=bw-output" -D"sonar.host.url=https://sonarcloud.io" -X

It only processes generated files under the build directory but it ignores all source under the source directory. The log shows this messages " It is not located in project basedir …" with files ignored.

I find that there is nothing in build-wrapper-dump.json.

It is generated with the command below.

%SONAR_DIRECTORY%/build-wrapper-win-x86/build-wrapper-win-x86-64.exe --out-dir bw-output msbuild -nodeReuse:False MyProject.sln

Hi,

Are you doing a full / re-build? Every file needs to be compiled while the build wrapper is eavesdropping.

Thank you. Finally it generated build-wrapper-dump.json with rebuild option. I also ran the scanner from my source directory, not from build directory, then the message was gone.
