Does Sonar support multiple language in same project?

Question

I am setting up Sonar for one of my projects which is a mix of Groovy and Java. I am able to configure the project separately for either of these languages but not together. Is there any way to do this? I tried this

sonar.language = java,grvy

but didnt work

Solution 1

UPDATE April 14th, 2014:

Starting with SonarQube 4.2, multi-language projects are supported.

This automatically happens when sonar.language is not set.

See my sample project here: https://github.com/bellingard/multi-language-project

Solution 2

If you are using Sonar version 3.4. Then I have written a new maven plugin to help you with multiple language code analysis.

It is still beta

If you have any issues with this tool then do let me know on that project website.

Can you please elaborate on the use of sonar.branch? My project is a mix of java and groovy mixed together. I mean there is no separation of src folders

@Fabrice-SonarTeam, can we do the same with maven? And if yes, do you have any examples? Thanks! p.s. that example on the git hub doesn't actually help, because we have different languages in one source folder.

@mr.nothing You can probably check Neeraj's answer below as well

@Fabrice-SonarTeam We have a solutions containing projects containing a mix of Javascript, C# and Xsd files. Looking at the .NET example: github.com/SonarSource/sonar-examples/tree/master/projects/… I don't see how you descripbe to Sonar which languages to analyse? It just seems to has 'cs' in the sonar-project.properties file.

@Fabrice-SonarTeam I think I must be missing something, why did you add to your answer that Sonar 3.3 and runner 2.0 can analyse multi-language projects?

Does it work for a project with both Groovy (grvy) and Java source/test code or mixed? I don't think it's working (sonar.language=grvy,java)

@Fabrice-SonarQubeTeam I tried it and got this. Can you please comment on that, thanks Fabrice. stackoverflow.com/questions/28154607/…

We are using v5.5 but it still doesn't pick the js files located in 'resources' folder. I looked at the example, there is no special configuration.. have I missed anything?

@Fabrice-SonarSourceTeam the link github.com/SonarSource/sonar-examples/tree/master/projects/… has broken. I am trying to configure C# and JavaScript, but it works only for C# and overrides C# test counts when I set sonar.tests='js-tests-dir'. I cant see both counts in dashboard
