Sonarqube developer version: **8.2.0.32929**

We are trying to get New Code analysis done on Pull Request branches. I have read the [fixing the water leak article](https://sonarcloud.io/documentation/user-guide/fixing-the-water-leak/) as well as the concepts of [Long-Lived Branches](https://sonarcloud.io/documentation/branches/long-lived-branches/) and [Short-Lived Branches](https://sonarcloud.io/documentation/branches/short-lived-branches/)

I wanted to ask if fundamentally the following is possible in Sonarqube. When a pull request is created on a specific branch say feature/aa targeting master, can we see the code analysis done on only the new code which was added in the branch?

We have tried this by doing the following –

- Doing a normal branch analysis with following args -  
sonar-scanner   
-Dsonar.pullrequest.key={PULL\_REQUEST\_NUMBER} \ -Dsonar.pullrequest.branch=PR-{PULL\_REQUEST\_NUMBER}   
-Dsonar.pullrequest.base=${PULL\_REQUEST\_BASE\_REF}   
…
- Created a rule for long running branches with `feature/*` rule and created a PR with a branch name of `feature/sonarqube-test` added some minor issues and created the PR. Even in this case, the new code doesn’t show

We always end up seeing an image like following –

It’s odd that you have PULL\_REQUEST\_NUMBER as both the variable for `sonar.pullrequest.key` and `sonar.pullrequest.branch`.

The latter (`sonar.pullrequest.branch`) should be equivalent to the name of the branch you want to merge into the branch defined by `sonar.pullrequest.base`.

I would expect the detection of changed files/lines to work better if that is resolved.

Out of curiosity, what CI tool are you typically using? These parameters should be auto-configured in many cases, which is much less error prone.

The branch is actually PR-{PULL\_REQUEST\_NUMBER} and this seems to be populated just fine actual branch analysis. I can also navigate from the branch analysis to actual PR in GitHub.

Regarding CI tool, we use Jenkins pipeline for CI and pass these params as part of a build pipeline. Let me know if there is a better way to do this.

Here is the screenshot for the branch information for the analysis above.

Hi Colin it seems to work fine for the branch name, seems to be loaded just fine in the Sonar UI as well. The parameters being passed are something on the lines of –

```
-Dsonar.pullrequest.key=2000 \ 
-Dsonar.pullrequest.branch=PR-2000 \ 
-Dsonar.pullrequest.base=master

```

I’m having the same issue. The branch analysis is working as expected but the PR analysis is empty.

Since you’re using Jenkins, I’d _highly_ recommend upgrading to 8.3 where these parameters are auto configured.

I’m a bit skeptical about this. In your original post you mentioned feature/sonarqube-test as the branch. This is the value I’d expect to be used for the branch parameter. I could be wrong, but I’m not sure how the detection of new code works if it’s a secondary “merge” branch.

Any other clues would probably be in your analysis logs (with DEBUG logging enabled. Usually achieved by appending ‘-X’ to the scan command). You can attach them in a post on this topic. Specifically, log messages like this are meaningful.

I’d recommend starting a new thread with more details. Troubleshooting multiple, even related, problems on one community post is messy 🙂

Hi Colin, I was able to update the sonar server to 8.3. But I am not seeing any changes in the analysis. I enabled debug logs like you suggested and I am seeing logs like you mentioned -

Let me suggest first removing any manual configuration you’ve done (the configuration of `sonar.pullrequest.*`). This will allow auto-configuration of those properties to kick in.

Out of curiosity, is there evidence earlier in the logs that there are files actually being analyzed?

</div>

I tried by removing the params like you suggested –

`<workspace>/SonarQube-Scanner-4.3/bin/sonar-scanner -X -Dsonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8 -Dsonar.projectKey=<project-key> -Dsonar.projectVersion=2998 -Dsonar.scm.revision=8888888888888888888`

which got populated from –

```
${scannerHome}/bin/sonar-scanner -X \
                -Dsonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8 \
                -Dsonar.projectKey=<project-key> \
                -Dsonar.projectVersion=${params.BUILD_NUMBER} \
                -Dsonar.scm.revision=${params.PULL_PULL_SHA}

```

This did not end up doing a PR analysis. It ended up on the master branch. I also do not see any logs of the following kind –  
[2020-05-27T16:40:35.766Z] 16:40:35.559 INFO: Pull request 3756 for merge into master from PR-3756

Regarding analysis, I see logs for thousands of files which are –  
`[2020-05-27T17:33:02.190Z] 17:33:01.880 DEBUG: 'filename' indexed with language 'kotlin'`

Hm.

> Regarding CI tool, we use Jenkins pipeline for CI and pass these params as part of a build pipeline. Let me know if there is a better way to do this.

Is there a chance that you’re using Jenkins **X**? I couldn’t find a reference to any of the environment variables you’re using (like `PULL_PULL_SHA`) except in reference to Jenkins **X**. Unfortunately, there we don’t support the automatic configuration of pull requests (only with traditional Jenkins).

If you _are_ using traditional Jenkins, I’m very curious how it’s setup because it seems… atypical.

I’ve sent you a private message to see if you can provide the full logs privately. I feel like we’re missing some context and without it, we’ll just keep blindly trying things.
