How to specify wildcards in sonar-project.properties

Question

I am trying to use SonarQube to scan the UI modules I have. The UI modules are lot in number. They have a common structure. Each module has its own JS files.

I need to specify the sonar.sources value to match all JS files in my project. Is it possible to do something like this?

sonar.sources=\*/*/script
sonar.language=js

I used these. But, I got an error saying something like "unable to resolve path". Can someone help?

Answer 1

Try to use wildcard :

*   Match zero or more characters
**  Match zero or more directories
?   Match a single character

Like this:

sonar.sources=**/script

Update

As of 2019, the sonar.sources parameter doesn't support such glob patterns. The common practice is to set this value to a list of directories that contain source code. The scanner will find traverse the directory trees and run applicable analyzers (JavaScript analyzers will consume .js files, Python analyzers will consume .py files, and so on.)

Answer 2

Thanks all. I used sonar.sources=. in my properties file. This properties file is sitting next to my modules. So, now SonarQube takes into account all the folders next to this file, and scans for the specified file extensions. It works now.

Answer 3

sonar.sources does not currently support wildcard at all. This cannot be done.
