Hi,
did a first test with SQ7.6 from your server. I get different directories metric values. Bug or feature?

Hi @guwirth
This is expected. In SonarQube 7.6 we have replaced the old “Maven/Java like” filesystem layout by a more modern hierarchy, without modules, but with a hierarchy of folders (instead of having flat package-like folders).
Before 7.6:
moduleA
|- src/main/java/com/foo/package1/
|- FileA1.java
|- src/main/java/com/foo/package1/package11/
|- FileA11.java
|- src/main/java/com/foo/package2/
|- FileA2.java
|- src/test/java/com/foo/package2/
|- FileTestA2.java
Starting from 7.6:
moduleA/src/
|- main/java/com/foo/
|- package1/
|- FileA1.java
|- package11/
|- FileA11.java
|- package2
|- FileA2.java
|- test/java/com/foo/package2/
|- FileTestA2.java
This new approach will change the value of the metric “directories” because this metric count the number of directory “nodes” in the SonarQube component tree. This is misleading since I guess most people expect the value to be the number of physical sub-directories. In my example above, pre-7.6 value would be 3, and post 7.6 value will be 5 (another pitfall of this metric is that folders containing test files are not counted).
Hi Henry,
thanks a lot for your explanation. Did I understand the “5” right?
moduleA/src/ (root not counting)
|- main/java/com/foo/ (+1)
|- package1/ (+1)
|- FileA1.java
|- package11/ (+1)
|- FileA11.java
|- package2 (+1)
|- FileA2.java
|- test/java/com/foo/package2/ (+1)
|- FileTestA2.java
or:
moduleA/src/ (+1)
|- main/java/com/foo/ (+1)
|- package1/ (+1)
|- FileA1.java
|- package11/ (+1)
|- FileA11.java
|- package2 (+1)
|- FileA2.java
|- test/java/com/foo/package2/ (test not counting)
|- FileTestA2.java
…and is this counting 1?
|- main/java/com/foo/ (+1)

This is the second one (tests not counting).
