Getting code coverage on new code using Perforce SCM

[gunjan...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am working on a Java project. Sonarqube version: 7.0 I tried to get the code coverage on new code using Perforce SCM. It works. I want to know if it is possible to get the same if I just check-out the files for making changes and do not submit. 

Thank you

Hi,

Is it possible? Yes. 

Is it advisable? No.

Unless you're talking about a localhost instance of SonarQube (why?) then what you're describing is a scenario where you update the global perspective on your project's quality to reflect code changes that

* no one else can see or is even aware of

* you may or may not ever actually check in

I suspect you're after the legendary "pre-commit analysis". For that we have SonarLint, which will raise issues as you type in your favorite IDE. 

HTH,

Ann

Hi Ann,

Thank you for the answer. Yes, it is somewhat related to pre-commit analysis. I'll try SonarLint once.
