SonarScanner does not include file in subpath in scan

SonarCloud
1

Hello, I am facing the issue, that I want to include coverage reports of services into SonarCloud.

The coverage reports are being read, but not included, because they are apparently not in the project scope.

I do not know why they are not.

I am using GitHub Actions to run the tests and analyze using SonarScanner
This is the full workflow file:

name: Scan
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, synchronize, reopened]

env:
  GOLANG_PROTOBUF_REGISTRATION_CONFLICT: ignore

jobs:
  sonarcloud:
    name: SonarCloud
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: Run golang tests
        run: |
          cd backend
          go test -json ./... > report.json
          go test -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...
          cd ..

      - name: SonarCloud Scan
        uses: SonarSource/sonarcloud-github-action@master
        with:
          args: >
            -X
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}  # Needed to get PR information, if any
          SONAR_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}

The sonar-project.properties is the following:


# =====================================================
#   Standard properties
# =====================================================
sonar.organization=memetoasty
sonar.projectKey=memeToasty_kioku
sonar.projectName=Go SQ-Scanner-based project
sonar.projectVersion=1.0

sonar.sources=.
sonar.exclusions=**/*_test.go,**/vendor/**

sonar.tests=.
sonar.test.inclusions=**/*_test.go
sonar.test.exclusions=**/vendor/**

# =====================================================
#   Properties specific to Go
# =====================================================

sonar.go.tests.reportPaths=backend/report.json
sonar.go.coverage.reportPaths=backend/coverage.out

I have a test that is located in backend/services/register/handler.
The tests run fine, the results are also correctly logged in SonarCloud, just the coverage stays at 0.0%

The logs state the following:

EDIT:
I tried to replace the github.com/kioku-project/kioku with backend/. THis time it seemes to include it, but it is still at 0.0% coverage.

In addition to that. The EXPLICITELY excluded file **/*_test.go are being analyzed as source code. I am losing my nerves here

Hey there.

Based on this job:

It looks like you sorted it out. Is that correct?

3

I mean kind of, but not really, because this solution forces me to have 2 seperate projects for one repository. Is there another way to solve this?

Because I still want to utilize static code analysis for the frontend for example and it would be neat to have both in one project

4

Hey there.

How did having two separate projects help here?

It helped, because I have to execute my golang tests from the backend folder instead of the project root folder, because the root folder is not a go module.
When SonarScanner executed from the root folder it always reported that the covered files where not part of the project.
