Sonar analysis using multiple git branches in Jenkins

I have setup Jenkins to automatically build several git branches of my project. The build also triggers Sonar analysis, as a post-build action.

The problem is that all branches point to the same Sonar project. I know that there is a sonar.branch property. Is it possible to have Jenkins automatically set sonar.branch property to the current git branch being built (without having to change project's pom.xml)?

For achieving this I generally use -Dsonar.branch.name=${env.CHANGE_BRANCH}

This should work

mvn sonar:sonar -U -Dsonar.branch.name=$BRANCH_NAME

You can try adding -Dsonar.branch.name=something in the field MAVEN_OPTS in jenkins post-build action (Advanced configuration).

I don't know how to resolve something, since I don't know how you configure your jenkins job... but it will probably be something like $git.branch.

I didn't try, so i'm not sure it will work.

In a Jenkins multi-branch pipeline, the variable is BRANCH_NAME.

P.S. While reading your question it's difficult to say if you are using maven or not to trigger sonar. If you are not using maven: there is a project properties field in the Jenkins config where you can define sonar.branch.

Did you use build parameters in order to specify the branch?

If yes, you can easily tell to Sonar which branch is it, juste add in config textarea:

sonar.branch=${branch}

Where branch is the name of the build parameter.

I am not sure if this helps you with the automated Jenkins execution, but to run a mvn sonar:sonar with the proper branch set, you can run the command (note the back-quotes), if you are in a Unix based environment:

mvn -Dsonar.branch=`git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD` sonar:sonar
