Good morning everyone !
Must-share information :
- which versions are you using (SonarQube Server / Community Build, Scanner, Plugin, and any relevant extension) : Enterprise Edition v2025.3 (108892) MQR Mode
- how is SonarQube deployed: zip
- what are you trying to achieve
I am trying to get incremental branch analysis to work on my Azure DevOps Server CI pipelines - what have you tried so far to achieve this
I have been able to successfully get PR incremental analysis to work fine which drastically lowered analysis time.
On my Prepare Analysis task logs, I get the correct output :
11:21:00.949 Downloading cache. Project key: MyProject, branch: develop.
11:23:19.929 Incremental PR analysis: 6151 files out of 6306 are unchanged.
(Yes it’s a fat repo)
But anytime I try to get a branch to do the same, I get this :
13:24:39.424 Incremental PR analysis: Base branch parameter was not provided.
13:24:39.424 Cache data is empty. A full analysis will be performed.
I have tried setting the sonar.branch.name to master, main or develop manually and tried running scans, I always get the same result.
I think the issue is that it stays in “PR mode” when it should be in branch mode.
I can confirm that this is not a PR, and no PR variables are set in the pipeline.
Also, that is not because the branch has not been found, the message would be explicit about that.
I have also tried creating a whole new pipeline that only does the build + analysis but I get the same result.
If anyone has ever met this issue, I would appreciate some insight.
Thanks !
