Expected behavior
Analysis should succeed.

I was able to analyze my project once, but then all of a sudden it did no longer find my source files. No analysis for my source files is found at my SonarQube instance.

Analysis in the same environment for other Typescript projects works without any issues.

Additional info:
Running the scanner without tsconfig.json. at project root seems to succeed, so here is my tsconfig.json:

{   
    "include": [ "src/**/*" ],
    "compilerOptions": {
        "noImplicitAny": true,
        "target": "es6",
        "rootDir": "src",
        "outDir": ".",
        "module":"commonjs",
        "moduleResolution":"node",
        "types": [
            // add node as an option
            "node"
         ],
        "typeRoots": [ "node_modules/@types" ],
        "lib": ["DOM","ES6","ScriptHost", "ES2015.Promise"]

    }
}

Is there something wrong with this?

[andrea-guarino-sonarsource]

Hi @venttola,

Please, try to change outDir value to something else (like "./out").

I suspect it's because of outDir property in your tsconfig: it seems that the directory specified here ("." in your case) is automatically added to the excluded files. Hence all your files will be excluded by TypeScript compiler.

[venttola]

That seemed to do trick, thanks for the help! I'm using Gulp for building, and I guess is somehow overrided the faulty value in tsconfig.json. I checked my other project's tsconfig.json and there the outDir option is a lot more sensible.

Just the confirm: This was a TypeScript compiler issue, which the plugin internally uses?

If this is the case, could it be mentioned in a little bit more clear way in the documentation of SonarTS -plugin?

I'm getting same issue with react & typescript project. Is there any solution for this?

my sonar props
sonar.projectKey=ui-components
sonar.sources=src
sonar.test.inclusions=/*.test.ts,/.test.tsx,**/.test.js,**/*.test.jsx
sonar.tests=src
sonar.typescript.lcov.reportPaths=./coverage/lcov.info

and tsconfig.json is
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "es5",
"lib": [
"dom",
"dom.iterable",
"esnext"
],
"types": ["react", "jest"],
"allowJs": true,
"skipLibCheck": true,
"esModuleInterop": true,
"allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
"strict": true,
"forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
"module": "commonjs",
"moduleResolution": "node",
"resolveJsonModule": true,
"isolatedModules": true,
"jsx": "react",
"outDir": "build"
},
"include": [
"src"
]
}

I am getting the same errors in my Angular 9 project. Is there any solution?

Here is my tsconfig.app.json

{
  "extends": "./tsconfig.base.json",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "outDir": "./out-tsc/app",
    "types": []
  },
  "files": [
    "src/main.ts",
    "src/polyfills.ts"
  ],
  "include": [
    "src/**/*.d.ts"
  ]
}

hello @sivantha96 , can you please post your problem on our community forum https://community.sonarsource.com/ ?
This is legacy repository and analysis is not done using this plugin anymore. It's likely your issue will be fixed in next SonarQube version 8.5 which will be released in few weeks.
