Sonar is not executing unit test while executing mvn sonar:sonar -Pjs

Question

I am having a javascript application, In which I want to do code validation with coverage reports using sonar. While executing mvn sonar:sonar -Pjs with SonarQube version: 3.5.1, It is not executing js unit test.

When I tried the same application with Sonar version: 3.3.1. It is executing js unit test and report is displayed with unit test and coverage (Works great).

What is wrong with SonarQube version: 3.5.1 ? Am i missing anything ?

I have specified the console log of both sonar execution with the command mvn sonar:sonar -Pjs

Logs : SonarQube version: 3.5.1

Answer 1

There could be two problems. SonarQube requires the build and the sonar run to be two separate maven calls. See sonar (very bottom of the page).

Our setup was as follows:

mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true
mvn sonar:sonar

This resulted still in no code coverage, exactly like your reported problem. This was caused by the option "-Dmaven.test.skip=true". This resulted in the test code not being compiled and therefore not run during the sonar run, see maven.

Our code coverage was back again after changing this to:

mvn install -DskipTests
mvn sonar:sonar
