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

Hint: 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.

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
