It looks like you haven't set the 'sonar.tests' property to tell Sonar where to find the source code of your unit tests. See http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Analysis+Parameters.

The sonar.test property should be set to the test-classes. We have the following in our maven pom. For ANT you do something similar:

    <profile>
        <id>sonarprofile</id>
        <activation>
            <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
        </activation>
        <properties>
            <sonar.host.url>....our host..../sonar.host.url>
            <sonar.projectKey>....our key....</sonar.projectKey>
            <sonar.projectName>${project.artifactId}</sonar.projectName>
            <sonar.projectVersion>${project.version}</sonar.projectVersion>
            <sonar.language>java</sonar.language>
            <sonar.sources>src/main/java</sonar.sources>
            <!-- sonar.tests>target/test-classes</sonar.tests -->
            <!-- that is the default location for Maven projects and -->
            <!-- this parameter can't actually be set in that case -->
            <sonar.scm.provider>git</sonar.scm.provider>
            <sonar.login>${SONAR_LOGIN}</sonar.login>
            <sonar.dynamicAnalysis>reuseReports</sonar.dynamicAnalysis>
            <sonar.java.coveragePlugin>jacoco</sonar.java.coveragePlugin>
            <sonar.jacoco.reportPath>${basedir}/target/coverage-reports/jacoco-unit.exec</sonar.jacoco.reportPath>
        </properties>
    </profile>

Incidently there are some other properties being used in this:

I've generated a SONAR token through my sonar user rather than use login and password
JaCoCo coverage is being generated separately using the jacoco-maven-plugin and the sonar.jacoco.reportPath is a property used in that plugin.

David Racodon's answer (https://stackoverflow.com/a/16645108/1019307) was once correct but in mid-2014 SonarQube stopped executing the tests as part of the sonar execution (http://www.sonarqube.org/unit-test-execution-in-sonarqube/). Hence why pointing to the test source no longer works.

I'm using Ant, Jacoco and Sonar. When I run my build Sonar tells me that "No information about coverage per test." and the Sonar dashboard has my coverage results, but I cannot drill down into them to see the code. However, the HTML report generated by Jacoco does include drill down into the code. This is my coverage task:

    <jacoco:coverage destfile="${coverage.output.file}" >
        <junit printsummary="on" 
            errorProperty="test.failed" 
            failureProperty="test.failed" 
            haltonfailure="yes" 
            fork="true">
            <formatter type="brief" usefile="false" />
            <formatter type="xml" />
            <classpath>
                <path refid="test.build.class.path"/>
                <pathelement location="${test.bin.dir}"/>       
            </classpath>
            <batchtest todir="${results.dir}">
                <fileset dir="${test.bin.dir}">
                    <include name = "**/**/*Test.class"/>
                </fileset>
            </batchtest>
        </junit>
    </jacoco:coverage>  

    <jacoco:report>
        <executiondata>
            <file file="${coverage.output.file}"/>
        </executiondata>
        <structure name="${ant.project.name}">
            <classfiles>
                <fileset dir="${bin.dir}"/>
            </classfiles>
            <sourcefiles encoding="UTF-8">
                <fileset dir="${src.dir}"/>
            </sourcefiles>
        </structure>
        <html destdir="${coverage.results.dir}"/>
    </jacoco:report>
</target>

And my Sonar target looks like this:

<target name="sonar" depends = "run">
    <property name="sonar.jdbc.url" value="..." />
    <property name="sonar.jdbc.username" value="...r" />
    <property name="sonar.jdbc.password" value="..." />

    <property name="sonar.projectKey" value="org.codehaus.sonar:example-java-ant" />
    <property name="sonar.projectName" value="${ant.project.name} (ant)" />
    <property name="sonar.projectVersion" value="1.0" />
    <property name="sonar.language" value="java" />
    <property name="sonar.sources" value="${src.dir}" />
    <property name="sonar.binaries" value="${bin.dir},${test.bin.dir}" />
    <property name="sonar.libraries" value="${lib.dir}/*.jar" />    

    <property name="sonar.dynamicAnalysis" value="reuseReports" />
    <property name="sonar.surefire.reportsPath" value="${results.dir}" />
    <property name="sonar.java.coveragePlugin" value="jacoco" />
    <property name="sonar.jacoco.reportPath" value="${coverage.output.file}" />

    <taskdef uri="antlib:org.sonar.ant" resource="org/sonar/ant/antlib.xml">
         <classpath>         
            <fileset dir="${lib.dir}" includes="sonar-ant-task-2.0.jar"/>
         </classpath>
    </taskdef>   

    <sonar:sonar />     
</target>

Does anyone know what I am missing?

I confirm - in my case, this was set to test sources, whereas it should point to the compiled classes.
Paul Grenyer almost 11 years

I've tried adding the sonar.tests property to point to both source code and byte code. Neither worked. I'm still stumped with this.
rozner almost 11 years

I have the same problem. I think this may be a bug with the Ant task as I had done this using Sonar Runner and it worked fine, but the same properties in Ant fail.

Happens with gradle builds as well.

Haven't you try adding this property: sonar.jacoco.itReportPath=target/jacoco-it.exec ?
Hubert Grzeskowiak over 7 years

It's sonar.tests, not sonar.test Also: "Not compatible with Maven, which retrieves test from the default location for Java Maven projects." See docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Analysis+Parameters

Ok that is one parameter wrong (although it did work for me). Although it isn't actually wrong but redundant. Is that a reason to downvote? A simple comment would have had me update my answer.

@AdamAdamaszek, you are wrong. As stated clearly in the Analysis Parameters section at the link above, the sonar.tests property should contain comma-separated paths to directories containing test source files.
