Manually triggered Github workflows on branches are pushed to main on sonarcloud.io

[Colin]

Hey there!

We’ve seen this before. @sodul was kind enough to provide a workaround:

Sonarcloud-github-action publishes branch analysis to main and not the current branch

I was able to simplify the logic by doing just setting sonar.branch.name explicitly when not on a PR: sonar-project.properties: sonar.branch.name = ${env.SONAR_BRANCH} Then in a shell step of the workflow yaml: if [[ ! $GITHUB_BASE_REF ]]; then # GITHUB_BASE_REF is only set for PRs, we are on a branch. echo "SONAR_BRANCH=${GITHUB_REF_NAME}" >> $GITHUB_ENV fi This way the sonar.branch.name is the only parameter to set and only set if we are not on a pull r…

and I confirm there’s a ticket in our backlog to autoconfigure the branch when executed via workflow_dispatch
