Sonar analysis using multiple git branches in Jenkins
git, jenkins, maven, sonarqube
Solution
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`.
Problem
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)?
