We are configuring our Azure DevOps pipelines by activating SonarCloud check and having few issues because of this. It is quite a big C# based solution with windows services and web application. We could not split it to smaller ones right now, so it should be working as is.
The plan was:
- get sources from git
- restore packages
- activate SonarCloud scanner
- build
- run test and collect coverage
- apply SonarCloud Analysis
- publish Quality Gates
- etc
But we are facing 60 minutes build job timeout on DevOps, so total time should be decreased.
The second idea was to split it into sequential 2 jobs:
- Test Job
- get sources from git
- restore packages
- build
- run test and collect coverage
- publish test and coverage results into Artifacts
- Build Job
- get sources from git
- restore packages
- activate SonarCloud scanner
- build
- get test and coverage results from Artifacts
- apply SonarCloud Analysis
- publish Quality Gates
- etc
It is working but build time is very big - more than an hour, which is not acceptable too.
So we are having the third idea - 2 parallel and 1 sequential job:
- Test Job in parallel
- get sources from git
- restore packages
- build without Sonar
- run test and collect coverage
- publish test and coverage results into Artifacts
- Build Job in parallel
- get sources from git
- restore packages
- activate SonarCloud scanner
- build with Sonar
- publish sonar data (.sonarqube folder) into Artifacts
- Publish Job and Build and Test jobs
- get sources from git
- get test and coverage results from Artifacts
- activate SonarCloud scanner
- get sonar data (.sonarqube folder) from Artifacts
- apply SonarCloud Analysis
- publish Quality Gates
It is working near 30 minutes that is ok for us and sending all data to SonarCloud according to the SonarCloudAnalyze task log.
But we do not have any data on the SonarCloud project page: zero warnings and coverage but should be 2.8k warings + coverage data as we have it inside DevOps pipeline after analysis.
Could such solution exist according to SonarCloud architecture?
Should replacing of .sonarqube folder with sonar build results after activating Sonar scanner transfer all info needed for Analysis task?
Should I transfer something more from Build with sonar job to publish results job?
How can we check why we do not have this data on the SonarCloud project page even if they were uploaded without any error?
What should I check and reconfigure more to solve this issue?
