Why sonar scanner scaned 0 file when using pull request analysis sometimes?

SonarQube Server / Community Build
1

Hi,
My company is using SonarQube of Enterprise Edition Version 7.9.1 (build 27448).
For some PR branch, when using pull request analysis, sonar scanner will scan 0 file. :frowning_face:

here is the 0 scanned log:
I just added a .gitignor with content:

Hello Sai,

A PR analysis focuses on code that changed in a given branch/PR, you can see below steps in the log:

[2020-04-15T16:13:04.060Z] INFO: SCM collecting changed files in the branch
[2020-04-15T16:13:04.060Z] INFO: SCM collecting changed files in the branch (done) | time=113ms

At INFO level the log does not actually say how many files changed (and if that was 0) - however if you bump it up to DEBUG level output should carry more details on this.

Hope that helps.
