NUnit results and SonarQube 5.6

[serge...@gmail.com]

Hello, Everyone

I have been using old SonarQube 3.7 for a year or a bit more for monitoring the huge codebase with >200 project with C# projects.

Initially, I selected this version because it supported everything out of the box: running unit tests (configuring tool for running them and tool for getting coverage), importing results and analazying the code, since I didn't have time and possiblity executing everything separately and importing results.

By some reason the oldest version did something with its internal database, so I cannot do anything from web UI. Every admin operation crashes with the error. I've decided upgrade to the latest version -> SonarQube 5.6

Since I remember that modern version don't support executing unit tests, I created custom scripts for scanning sln/proj for detecting test projects, executing them and collecting results and getting right names (this part previously was done by Sonar in the oldest version) .

After a day of playing with SonarQube, I've realized that right now I don't have any possiblity to import results from any 3rd part nunint runner - AT ALL. Only generic import ut/it/coverage, but it has own format and I have to create custom xslt that is not the 1min task.

According to the documentation, there is only the single option: use msbuild sonar analyzer where you have to combine all CI steps in one piece: run analzyer with the predefined names of nunit results (somehow I should get them), run the build process, run nunit, stop the scanner. WTF? 

That urges me to redesign completely the build system ideology where I have to do everything together. Build the source code, getting the binaries and producing the artefacts - it is the separate phase in the building process. I'd prefer running static code analyzer and integration tests/unit-tests, for example, nightly since it takes time (let's omit the ideology of TDD etc), for such huge codebase I am interested in daily/weekly trends.

Dear SonarQube authors, could you say me how I can 

- run nUnit tests (may be it is still possible)

- import nUnit26/3 results?

- import any code coverage results? (openCover, for example)

without using MSBuild scanner since it usesless for me in its current state.

Hello Sergey,

I couldn't understand why the Scanner for MsBuild doesn't work for you. 

I think it's pretty common to have a CI job which does the following:

• Build
• Run tests

And then if you want to add SonarQube analysis, then you'd have the following:

• Set up SQ analysis
• Build
• Run tests
• Upload SQ analysis results 

To me this looks pretty logical and straight forward. I wouldn't even modify my CI job, I would add a completely separate job, which can be scheduled nightly, and not on each commit.

Could you explain me a bit more why the above doesn't work in your case? I'd like to better understand the use-cases that we don't support, and how we can improve there.

Thanks,

Tamas
