Blame information not displayed in few SonarQube projects

Question

We are using SonarQube Version 5.6.3 and GitLab for version control. On certain projects, the blame entries are not displayed in SonarQube projects whereas it is shown on the rest of the projects. There seems to be no difference in the project settings and also no clues from the logs. This feature comes builtin with the SonarQube version.

How can we let SonarQube display the blame information for all projects?

Answer 1

Please verify SCM settings for project:

• open project dashboard
• choose Administration → General Settings → SCM
• verify that sonar.scm.disabled is set to false or Default (where Default: false)

If you cannot modify settings on the server you can add -Dsonar.scm.disabled=false to scanner execution.

If SCM sensor is enabled then open logs from build and verify that:

• lines exist:

  [INFO] Sensor SCM Sensor
  [INFO] Sensor SCM Sensor (done) | time=19ms
  

• SCM directory with metadata exists (e.g. .git)
