SonarLint CLI --src parameter doesn't work as expected

[gilbert...@googlemail.com]

Hi,

c:\whatever>sonarlint -h
c:\tools\sonarlint-cli-1.0\bin\..
INFO:
INFO: usage: sonarlint [options]
INFO:
INFO: Options:

A test with an example project that has 81 Java sources under /src shows different
behaviour with using:

sonarlint -Dsonar.sources=/src (or -Dsonar.sources=src)
=> INFO: 81 files indexed
and
sonarlint --src **/src/**
=> INFO: 78 files indexed

The glob pattern **/src/** was the only one to make it work, all others
like f.e. */src/** resulted in :
WARN: No files to analyze

What's the reason for the missing 3 files not indexed, when using --src parameter ?

Hi,

sonar.sources is not used in SonarLint. So in fact in your first try your are simply analyzing all files of your project from the current dir, while your second attempt with sonarlint --src **/src/** will limit to the src folder.

I agree the glob syntax is not very simple to use, especially because it is matched against absolute path (that's why sonarlint --src src/**) is not working. Here is a ticket to try to simplify the syntax:

https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SLCLI-14

Thanks for the feedback,

Julien
