I want to the sonar report of dev branch specifically .
But for certain services it shows “The main branch of this project is empty”.
Not finding option to change the branch name in project settings.
Please assist on this
Hi,
Since branches don’t exist in Community Edition, I guess you’re using the “Community Branch Plugin”? If so, you should direct your questions to its maintainers.

Hi Ann,
Thank you for your response.
yes I am using community edition.
Hi @ganncamp ,
I came across something with " -Dsonar.branch.name=$BRANCH_NAME" adding it in sonar.properties displays which branch being scanned currently ?
Tried using it in sonar.properties but no luck. Is other any other way to check which branch getting scanned currently ?
Can we change the scanning to be performed only on “Develop” branch in community edition only ?
Please help me out on this scenario .
Hi,
Community Edition simply doesn’t support branches.
Ann
Thank you for your response !
Hi @ganncamp ,
One last question
How does the sonarqube knows we triggering from master branch .
Because when i add sonarqube stage in any branch and trigger it , I see project being created in sonarqube dashboard .
Is that its only picking up master/main branch present in the repo inspite of we trigger different branches !
Please clarify me on this
Hi,
If you’re in Community Edition, which doesn’t support branches, then every analysis must be of the main branch, since nothing else is supported/possible.
HTH,
Ann
Okay .
It means even if we trigger test or feature or dev branch , sonarqube checks only for the main branch and displays the analyze report of main branch in sonarqube dashboard .
Please Correct me if i am wrong !
Hi,
SonarQube analyzes the code you give it. If you give it main branch code, it analyzes main branch code. Give it a feature branch, and it analyzes that code. And reports everything as the main (i.e. only) branch of the project.

Great !
Though it analyze from every branch we give but report gets generated only for main branch rite .
