Report Paths

To read reports the .reportPaths property is used. The property is structured as follows:

• multiple paths may be comma-delimited:

  sonar.cxx.cppcheck.reportPaths=c:/reports/cppcheck1.xml
  sonar.cxx.cppcheck.reportPaths=c:/reports/cppcheck1.xml,c:/reports/cppcheck2.xml

• may be absolute or relative to the project base directory:

  sonar.cxx.cppcheck.reportPaths=c:/reports/cppcheck1.xml
  sonar.cxx.cppcheck.reportPaths=../reports/cppcheck1.xml

• may contain wildcards:

  sonar.cxx.cppcheck.reportPaths=c:/reports/cppcheck?.xml
  sonar.cxx.cppcheck.reportPaths=../reports/cppcheck-*.xml

Hints:

• The location of your configuration file sonar-project.properties defines the project base directory.
• Reports should be excluded from scanning, otherwise they will be analyzed themselves (e.g. XML files). The easiest way to do this is to store them outside the project base directory.
• Narrowing the Focus gives more hints how to include and exclude files.

Wildcards

Paths with wildcards are relative to the project base directory. The following wildcards can be used:

• * - Match zero or more characters
• ** - Match zero or more directories
• ? - Match a single character
