SqCopyResolution

A command line tool for copying Won't Fix and False-Positive resolution flags between SonarQube projects.

Background

When you use multiple branches, you must create a separate SonarQube project for each branch. The thing is, that when you resolve an issue as Won't Fix or False Positive in one SonarQube project, the issue still remain open in SonarQube projects for other branches, even after you merge your code changes to other branches. This tool can copy Won't Fix and False Positive resolution flags from one SonarQube project to another.

How to use this tool

Requirements

• Windows with .NET Framework 4.6.1
• SonarQube 6.x (the tool is tested with SonarQube 6.3 but it should work with older versions as well)

Run the tool

Download the SqCopyResolution_1_0_0.zip file from the Releases tab and extract its content into some folder. Then run the tool from Windows command line with following arguments:

-username	SonarQube credentials - username
-password	SonarQube credentials - password
-sourceProjectKey	Key of the SonarQube project, from which you want to copy resolution flags, e.g. -sourceProjectKey OurProject:FeatureA
-destinationProjectKeys	Comma separated list of keys of the SonarQube projects, to which you want to copy resolution flags, e.g. -destinationProjectKeys OurProject:HEAD,OurProject:FeatureB
-sourceBranch (optional)	Name of the branch from which you want to copy resolution flags, e.g. -sourceBranch develop. Specify only if you are using SonarQube branches.
-destinationBranch (optional)	Name of the branch to which you want to copy resolution flags, e.g. -destinationBranch master. Specify only if you are using SonarQube branches.
-addNote (optional)	Request that a comment should be added to the destination issue, mentioning the resolution has been copied from elsewhere, e.g. -addNote (no parameters).

Here is an example of the command, which copies resolution flags from the OurProject:FeatureA to OurProject:HEAD and OurProject:FeatureB SonarQube projects:
