Can't see the SCM blame infomation in Sonar

Question

I've just installed SCM Activity plugin 1.8 in Sonar 4.5 following the installation procedure. Subversion is also available on the server where Sonar is installed as well. I am using ANT target to start the sonar analysis.

I want to extract the blame information from SVN and want to show in the SoanrQube i.e., whenever a new issue arises it automatically assign to the culprit.

However as soon as I start a jenkins 1.532 job to run Sonar metrics, I've got the following output console:

It says that blame information is retreived from svn but still i am not able to see it on sonar. Line says report path not found. Does that effect it?

Answer 1

Blame information are not displayed by default in SonarQube. You have to click on the blue bar right on top of the SCM icon to toggle blame information. See http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/SCM+Information+tab

Answer 2

Since SonarQube 4.5, you need to turn on SCM decoration on the Component Viewer to be able to see SCM information. See the documentation on the SCM Tab.
