SonarQube code coverage stays at 0 with NodeJS project

Hi, i’m using Sonarqube 8.9 on a server at my university (provided by my institute) with sonar-scanner 4.6.0 on a Linux machine.
I’m building a NodeJS app using React and the Jest testing suit, and I’m trying to scan my code with sonar-scanner.
While the scan is successfull and the unit tests are recognized, the code coverage stays at 0, no matter what I try.
Here’s my sonar-scanner configuration:

sonar.projectKey=team11-twitter-client 
sonar.sources=src,backend/middleware,backend/routes 
sonar.host.url=[my_uni_server]
sonar.login=[hidden]
sonar.language=js 
sonar.tests=jest 
sonar.inclusions=src/**
sonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8 
sonar.clover.reportPaths=coverage/clover.xml
sonar.tests=src/Components/__tests__/ 
sonar.coverage.exclusions=**/__tests__/**,**/coverage/** 
sonar.test.inclusions=**/__tests__/** 
sonar.javascript.lcov.reportPaths=coverage/lcov.info 
sonar.testExecutionReportPaths=testResults/sonar-report.xml

The console.log created by sonar-scanner doesn’t appear to show any relevant errors, aside from this one:

INFO: Analysing [/[hidden_abspath]/ProgettoSWE/twitter-client/coverage/lcov.info]
WARN: Could not resolve 1 file paths in [/[hidden_abspath]/ProgettoSWE/twitter-client/coverage/lcov.info]
WARN: First unresolved path: src/Components/Loading.js (Run in DEBUG mode to get full list of unresolved paths)

which I don’t believe is what is causing the coverage to be 0.
Also, both the lcov.info and the sonar-report.xml are not empty and contain some kind of information.

Any suggestions on what could be causing this? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

In looking at this, the thing I notice is the difference between

and

What I’m wondering is about the path from analysis root. Are you firing analysis off from /[hidden_abspath]/ProgettoSWE/twitter-client/?

Secondarily, I notice these analysis parameters, which I don’t believe are doing anything but muddying the waters:

sonar.language=js 
...
sonar.inclusions=src/**
...
sonar.clover.reportPaths=coverage/clover.xml
...
sonar.test.inclusions=**/__tests__/**

Additionally, I would recommend dropping the exclusion setting until you get coverage working. Then you can add it back in:

sonar.coverage.exclusions=**/__tests__/**,**/coverage/**

Can you try those changes and post your full analysis log if you still don’t get what you expect?

Hi,
thanks for your quick and detailed answer Ann. I’ve dropped the settings as you suggested, and now the sonar.properties file looks something like this:

sonar.projectKey=team11-twitter-client 
sonar.sources=src,backend/middleware,backend/routes 
sonar.host.url=[my_uni_server]
sonar.login=[hidden]
sonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8 
sonar.tests=src/Components/__tests__/ 
#sonar.coverage.exclusions=**/__tests__/**,**/coverage/** 
sonar.javascript.lcov.reportPaths=coverage/lcov.info 
sonar.test.inclusions=**/__tests__/** 
#sonar.testExecutionReportPaths=testResults/sonar-report.xml
#sonar.verbose=true

I’ve kept the sonar.test.exclusion field, otherwise the scanner would return an indexing error for file overlapping.

I’m firing off the scanner in the current directory of the project (that is [hidden_abspath]/ProgettoSWE/twitter-client/). With that I mean I’m launching the command sonar-scanner in that directory.

In spite of this, though, the coverage still remains 0.

Hi,

Thanks for the analysis log. As a side note, I see that you’re on 8.9.0. You’re missing some security patches. You might mention to your school’s SonarQube admins that they need to upgrade to 8.9.6 at their earliest convenience. There aren’t any schema changes, so it should be painless.

Regarding the actual pain - coverage - I don’t much that’s pertinent that you didn’t already shared in your first post. So I did a little searching here in the community and found this advice in another thread:

You should make sure that all files mentioned in your coverage report are imported into SonarQube.

You mentioned that you kept the sonar.test.exclusion parameter because

I don’t see that parameter reflected in what you posted here. Is it possible you’ve accidentally excluded one or more covered files?

Also, I sense that a root of this problem is that the tests are located in a source directory. A fundamental assumption (inherited from the Maven-centric origins) of analysis is that source files and test files are separate things and are kept segregated. I don’t suppose you could move your test files out of src…?

Hi,
sorry I didn’t answer to your reply earlier.

I can confirm that the files are imported into Sonarqube, since they can be accessed correctly in the Code section (as well as the Measures section). Regardless, the global coverage is still set to 0, as each file imported into Sonarqube shows a 0.0% coverage.

I also tried moving my test files (in the _ _ tests _ _ folder) out of both the src folder as well as out of the Components folder (but inside src). Still, nothing has change (aside from the directory structure of the files in Sonarqube).

About your sidenote: I will make sure to advise my school’s admins to update Sonarqube, thanks for your suggestion (and, in general, thanks helping me dealing with this).

Hi,

Okay, but what are they imported as? Code files or test files? The visual difference is subtle.

Hi there,
the files are imported as what I assume are code files:

Hi Angelo,

So okay yes. Your code files are imported as code files. I’m out of my depth at this point, but the post is tagged to get the attention of more expert folks.

While we wait for them can you share full logs of your latest analysis, since you’ve changed some parameters?
