Problem accessing LCOV reports through GihTub pipeline

SonarQube Cloud

Hi,

I’m having problems configuring SonarQube Cloud for LCOV code coverage in my GitHub actions pipeline

Context

Steps

  • I’m running a github workflow to create LCOV files out of my tests (Vitest and Cypress)
  • The LCOV outputs are stored as artefacts in the workflow (they exist, I can download them)
  • In the SonarQube job:
    • I’m loading the LCOV documents (verified by running a ls -R step)
    • I’m running the sonarqube-scan-action action, as described in the project settings (projectBaseDir added to reflect “monorepo” style)
- name: SonarQube Scan
  uses: SonarSource/sonarqube-scan-action@v5
  with:
    projectBaseDir: hivemq-edge-frontend
    args: >
      -Dsonar.verbose=true
      -Dsonar.javascript.lcov.reportPaths=**/*.info
  env:
    SONAR_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}
  • The sonaqube project and the reportPaths are properly defined in the monorepo
# Maybe these should be done dynamically in the github action
sonar.javascript.lcov.reportPaths=\
./coverage-combined/lcov-cypress-Components/lcov.info, \
./coverage-combined/lcov-cypress-E2E/lcov.info, \
./coverage-combined/lcov-cypress-Extensions/lcov.info, \
./coverage-combined/lcov-cypress-Modules/lcov.info, \
./coverage-combined/lcov-cypress-Workspace/lcov.info, \
./coverage-combined/lcov-vitest/lcov.info
  • The step executes properly (I can see the branch appearing in the SonarQube workspace)
  • However, the log clearly highlights that the LCOV files are NOT FOUND:

Potential workaround

  • I’ve tried adding the reportPaths configuration directly into the job, with the args; no success
  • I’ve tried different variations of the paths in the reportPaths; no success
  • The LCOV directory has been created (empty) in the repo; no success

Questions

  • Is the fact that I’m using a free account impacting on the code coverage?
  • Is the fact that I’m running a PR impacting, since the free account only supports master?
  • Is the fact that the LCOV are created on-the-fly in the pipeline (rather than being committed with the code) impacting ?
