  • Languages of the repository: Java

  • Error observed : It looks like it is not possible to change to have multiple target branches, only the main one can be used to estimate the improvements after the merge. Is it possible to select a different target via SonarCloudPrepare@1 azure devops task, i.g. having branch x as target for branch y and branch z as target for branch x? If this is not, is it possible to change the main branch for all the projects belonging to a specific group?

Thank you,
Marco

Hi Marco,

I think you’ve overlooked the sonar.target.branch parameter. Per the docs, it

specifies the target branch of the branch indicated by sonar.branch.name .

Hi Ann,

Thank you for your help

I previously looked at the wrong docs
