SonarQube Local Analysis - specify properties file

4
votes

I'm trying to run the analysis locally using Sonar-Scanner 2.6 pointing to SonarQube 5.4. The local solution folder contains the sonar-project.properties file used in the cloud analysis.

I am trying to create the properties file to be used locally, that is separate from the global sonar-project.properties file. This is the command that I ran:

sonar-scanner -D project.settings=sonar-project-local.properties

Expected behavior: Of the two files (sonar-project.properties and sonar-project-local.properties), sonar-scanner would choose the local one.

Observed behavior: If the file sonar-project.properties exists, sonar-scanner uses the global one and ignores the local one.

If I remove (rename) the global file from the directory, then the local file is recognized, and behavior is as expected.

Is this a bug? What is the way to solve this issue without messing with the global properties file?

Generally the answer would be the space in your command. So, not

-D project.settings=...

but

-Dproject.settings=...

But that property was dropped. You'll just need to shuffle the properties files in/out of the "correct" name.
