SonarQube not generated a report with 'The main branch has no line of code'

Hi All,

I am trying to generate a SonarQube report for an iOs mobile app and I keep getting ‘The main branch has no line of code’ when I am running the SonarScanner command.

The branch I used to check out the code from Git used to be called ‘main’. I have created a ‘master’ branch. But this didn’t solve the issue.

Renaming the branch from ‘main’ to ‘master’ is the only viable solution I can think of as I have setup everything correctly.

After extensive research on Google, it seems a common issue but no one has really found a fix.

Can anyone please advise?

Many thanks,

Ionic

Hi Ionic,

Welcome to the community!

I guess your analysis shows up in SonarQube as a non-main branch?

Is the branch in question the project’s default branch? Because we’ve done work on treating the default branch as the main one for SonarQube 9.8 (E.T.A. 12 Dec).

Hi Ann,

I don’t think this branch is the default one.

I did think it looks like SonarQube is expecting the branch name to be called ‘master’.

If you can help set the branch as default or anything else, that would help.

Many thanks,

Hi Ionic,

What’s the name of the branch you’ve analyzed? Also, what’s your version of SonarQube?
