Must-share information (formatted with [Markdown](https://commonmark.org/help/)):

- which versions are you using (SonarQube, Scanner, Plugin, and any relevant extension)

Sonarqube version : 10.5.0.89998

Using: Installed and ran sonarqube through brew.

Trying to analyze code coverage for my project  
Tried configuring jacoco plugin and properties through pom.xml file.

properties defined as

I am able to generate proper jacoco exec file and visualize it using jacoco.html file

Hey there.

What do the logs say about importing the coverage reports?

> When coverage data isn’t appearing as expected in SonarQube Server / Community Build or SonarQube Cloud, the first place you should look is the scanner logs. Where do I find the scanner logs?warning This will likely be broken out into its own guide soon The Scanner logs are the output of executing one of the [scanners](https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/analysis/overview/), either directly or wrapped by one of many integrations, such as the [SonarScanner for Jenkins](https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/analysis/scan/sonarscanner-for-jenkins/), [SonarScanner for Azure DevOps](https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/analysis/scan/sonarscanner-for-azure-devops/), [SonarQube](https://github.com/SonarSource/sonarqube-scan-action)/[SonarCloud](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/sonarcloud-scan) GitHub Actions or [SonarQube](https://bitbucket.org/sonarsource/sonarqube-scan/src/master/) /…

hi @Colin,

Please find the log lines below regarding the coverage report imports.

```auto
[INFO] 16:43:36.839 No "Generated" source files to scan.
[INFO] 16:43:36.839 Sensor JavaSensor [java] (done) | time=11906ms

[INFO] 16:43:36.841 No report imported, no coverage information will be imported by JaCoCo XML Report Importer

```

but I don’t see what exactly is causing this issue.

Have you made sure this file exists?

You can try just a `cat /Users/dhruv/Downloads/Projects/finance-consumer/target/site/jacoco/jacoco.xml` in the terminal.

Actually I got the issue. the problem was with wrong directory structure. Herby I am attaching the screenshot for reference. After I restructured my application I was able to get the code coverage. Since there were two structures due ambiguity the jacoco file that was generated was not getting imported properly.
