Hi,
I’d like to add some additional info: We have the following module/project structure
projects/{layer}/plugins/{module}
The {module} contains both src and bin folders. The property for the sources is configured as
sonar.sources=projects/../plugins/../src/..
All our sources are found and analyzed, so we assumed the property is configured correctly and used the same format for the binaries. However, the rules, that require binaries do not find anything, because the our own class files are not present during analysis.
When changing the sources property to sonar.sources=projects/**/plugins/**/src we’ve got a
java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Illegal char <*> at index 9: projects/*/plugins/*/src. We assumed, the binaries property would cause the same exception.
Currently, we use the following settings:
sonar.sources=projects
sonar.java.binaries=projects/*/plugins/*/bin
This seems to work.
It appears that the directory paths for sonar.sources and sonar.java.binaries are handled differently, for one property wildcards are supported, for the other they are not.
Can you update the documentation to clarify which values are accepted for each property and how the paths are interpreted?
