  Project was never analyzed. A regular analysis is required before a branch analysis

Running analysis using -Dsonar.branch.name=$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME on gitlab always fails for branch/master. How to fix this issue for all the branches? Does sonar need always master analysis to be run first to create the project on sonar dashboard?

I'm using Sonarqube 7.5 EE.

Hi, Not use plugin with master, use only for others branches (feature branch) Branch plugin compare with master, if not master, error. Start analyze without use plugin

[manasatest]

Hi, You meant not to use the branch plugin for master?

[gabrie-allaigre]

For master, not use -Dsonar.gitlab.project_id=$CI_PROJECT_ID -Dsonar.gitlab.commit_sha=$CI_COMMIT_SHA -Dsonar.gitlab.ref_name=$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME

[manasatest]

Is there a reason why we don't use it? This is how its working for me.

This step runs the sonar analysis to preview the comments on GitLab

sonarqube_preview: stage: analysis variables: SONAR_ANALYSIS_MODE: preview dependencies:

• test image: ciricihq/gitlab-sonar-scanner script:
  • gitlab-sonar-scanner -Dsonar.host.url=$SONAR_URL -Dsonar.login=$SONAR_TOKEN -Dsonar.gitlab.project_id=$CI_PROJECT_ID -Dsonar.gitlab.commit_sha=$CI_COMMIT_SHA -Dsonar.gitlab.ref_name=$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME -Dsonar.branch.name=$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME

This step runs the sonar analysis for master only

sonarqube-reports-master: stage: analysis variables: SONAR_ANALYSIS_MODE: publish dependencies:

• test only:
• master image: ciricihq/gitlab-sonar-scanner script:

This step runs the sonar analysis for branches only

  • master image: ciricihq/gitlab-sonar-scanner script:

Hi, I keep getting this error:

I have same error in gitlab ci you do not have to specify the branch name in your script remove sonar.branch.name="$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME" from your script

I'm getting this same error. We're trying to use SonarCloud to analyse our project on Github.

My action is:

name: "Analyze code with SonarCloud"

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - develop
      - enable-sonarcloud-java

jobs:
  sonarCloudTrigger:
    name: SonarCloud Trigger
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@master
      - name: Setup build environment
        uses: actions/setup-java@v1
        with:
          java-version: 1.8
      - name: Build
        run: mvn sonar:sonar -Dsonar.host.url=https://sonarcloud.io -Pci
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          SONAR_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}

(enable-sonarcloud-java is the testing branch I'm using)

The build runs and fails with the following error message:

I have the same erro from an ADO run using sonaqube ERROR: Error during SonarScanner execution

ERROR: Project was never analyzed. A regular analysis is required before a branch analysis

this is the firstime this repo is being scanned in sonaqube

@rediphone - did you get anywhere with this?
