Code Duplication Blocks in HTML,PHP and Drupal

[citr...@gmail.com]

When we scanned our PHP web application We found of a lot of duplications in Code. While checking crosschecking SonarQube Duplication it is found the following:

1. Similar code snippets with different id/class with quotes considered as duplicated Code 
   
2. Drupal code blocks for Menu, Blocks within arrays considered as duplicated code. hook menu items are similar in variables but the difference is only with strings 

Can we remove this kind of reporting of duplication like we disable some rules or something like that ? We do not want to increase the number of duplication percentage by considering this kind of code ?

Hi,

First, please be aware that the standard courtesies (Hi, Thanks, ...) are appreciated in this group.

To answer your question, you have the ability to set duplications exclusions: Administration > Analysis Scope > Duplication Exclusions. The setting allows you to set a file path pattern describing the paths to the files that should be ignored by duplications detection.

Hi Ann,

Thanks for consideration

We found that from these we can ignore files. My problem is with code blocks

For example:

 In drupal hook_menu all contents are similar except the statements inside quotes

 $items['path/to/page1'] = array(

    'title' => 'My form',

    'page callback' => 'hook_page_function1',

    'access arguments' => array('access content'),

    'description' => 'My form',

    'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,

  );

 $items['path/to/page2'] = array(

    'title' => 'My form 2',

    'page callback' => 'hook_page_function2',

    'access arguments' => array('access content'),

    'description' => 'My form 2',

    'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,

  );

In HTML 

  <div id="firstdiv"><?php print $data; ?></div>

  <div id="seconddiv"><?php print $data; ?></div>

see the two sections in each code reported as duplicated in sonarqube

My Doubt is that is any way to remove these areas during scanning  from our drupal code  and html code not entire file 

Thanks 

Geo

Hello Ann,

Is there any plan to include such Code Snippet pattern duplication exclusion way in SonarQube?

Or do we need to add such code in particular files and exclude the file from scanning ?

Because in almost all custom drupal modules module_hook functions keep exactly same pattern except strings and reported as duplicated 

Thanks

Hi Geo,

Sorry, there are currently no plans to expand exclusions.
