I am setting up Sonarqube Community Edition Version 9.9 (build 65466) on a virtual machine to analyze the code. I have the code on main branch in a github repo, while previous releases are maintained in a different branch. I have created a new project and run the analysis on the release branch, assigning it a version and setting that as the New Code baseline using the “Specific analysis” option. I am now running the analysis on the main branch and expect to see the issues introduced in the new code since the release. However, Sonarqube does not seem to be able to recognize the new code correctly. It just says 0 lines of new code. Is my idea of setting up Sonarqube in this way and analyze code since the release correct?
To confuse things even more, I also have a local (embedded DB) version of Sonarqube running. When I did the same thing locally, it actually showed me the new code correctly.
What do I need to do to set it up correctly? Thanks.
