Multi module project analysis with SonarQube - sonarqube

Question

SonarQube Server 5.1.2, Sonar-Runner 2.4
As provide in Multi-moduleProject i have created a project structure as
Accounts
|
->invoice
|
->src
->receipt
|
->src
->sonar.properties
File:sonar.properties
sonar.projectKey=org.mycompany.acc
sonar.projectName=Account
sonar.projectVersion=1.0
sonar.sources=src
sonar.modules=invoice,receipt
invoice.sonar.projectName=Invoice
receipt.sonar.projectName=Receipt
When execute with above configuration in sonar-runner i encountered with error "src" folder is missing in "Account" directory, hope this configuration is same as the conf available in that link. As per the understanding if the configuration is fine then the Invoice and Receipt will be listed as sub project under Account Project, so what are the changes are required in above configuration to achieve multi module / project under one project.
ERROR
ERROR: Error during Sonar runner execution
ERROR: Unable to execute Sonar
ERROR: Caused by: The folder 'src' does not exist for 'org.mycompany.acc' (base

Answer 1

try this:
sonar.projectKey=org.mycompany.acc
sonar.projectName=Account
sonar.projectVersion=1.0
sonar.sources=src # try to remove this by the way if you don't have suchdirectory under root folder of project
sonar.modules=invoice,receipt
invoice.sonar.projectName=Invoice
invoice.sonar.sources=invoice/src
receipt.sonar.projectName=Receipt
receipt.sonar.sources=receipt/src

Answer 2

You can try this option, If you want scan multiple projects at same time OR in same build then try this option.
sonar.sources=invoice,receipt

Answer 3

sonar.modules property was deprecated long time ago. Use sonar.sources parameter to perform a scan.
In short, you have to specify in sonar:sonar goal parameters where the sources and reportPaths are located for the required modules and declare jacoco configuration for each module respectively. As a result, it will look something like this:
Jacoco plugin declaration in each module:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
<artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.8.7</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>default-prepare-agent</id>
<goals>
<goal>prepare-agent</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>report</id>
<phase>test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>report</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Sonar goal execution:
mvn clean verify sonar:sonar /
-Dsonar.projectKey=... /
-Dsonar.host.url=... /
-Dsonar.login=... /
-Dsonar.branch.name=... /
-Dsonar.sources=../module1/src/main,../module2/src/main /
-Dsonar.jacoco.reportPath=module1/target/jacoco.exec,module2/target/jacoco.exec
Important! It's required to specify .. before module name in -Dsonar.sources parameter because jacoco plugin in each module can only read content by relative path from it's location.
