We currently have a jenkins pipeline using Multibranch Workflow plugin. Each git branch execute a sonarqube analysis creating a sonarqube project using the sonar.branch property. This is very useful because each branch is being analyzed before merge it, the problem appear when a branch is merged with master and disappear on GIT, the project continues on sonarqube and need to be deleted manually. Is There a way to do it automatically? or any other recomendation?

The best way to remove SonarQube branch projects is to not push them to the server in the first place. Here are your options:

At SonarSource, we use SonarLint and the GitHub Plugin on a daily basis. One last solution is to delete manually the project using the api/projects/delete web service.

    If you use a continuous integration system like Jenkins, when you create a branch on git from master the jenkinsfile it is also copied, avoid sonarque analysis imply modify this file. In some cases the developer forget this step. – F.Rosado Feb 07 '17 at 11:42

    We have the same "problem" with Travis. That's why our script do some conditional checks (are we on master branch or not) before running the SonarQube analysis. – Julien H. - SonarSource Team Feb 08 '17 at 12:40

    I want my branch to be on sonar but I would like them to be deleted when branch is merged / deleted. So you use a git hook to call sonar api / delete on branch merge / delete ? – TheBakker Oct 17 '18 at 09:57

If you happen to be using Bitbucket Server and the Sonar for Bitbucket Server add-on, there's an automatic way to perform this cleanup. To enable this setting from Bitbucket Server, follow the 3 steps shown in the screenshots below.

  • Perhaps is the best solution if you can buy the plugin, it is not always possible. – F.Rosado Mar 22 '17 at 08:09
  • if you cannot invest 10 bucks / 10 users you probably also should'nt be investing time into continuous integration / code QA. Extreme programming and a very simple SCM is probably all you need for such a project. Just sayian. SonarQube and the likes make sense in business-oriented teams only - for everything else a simple cronjob might do the trick. – specializt Jun 20 '17 at 09:50

    My case is different, the number of users for bitbucket is large (+2000) but the number of sonarqube users is small (less than 100). Perhaps a custom scheduled task that check projects and repositories is a solution. – F.Rosado Aug 08 '17 at 16:25

You can define a method as below, to do the job and then call the method whenever you need according to your need or on some event like git branch merged/removed, etc.

def deleteSonarProject() {
    def sonarToken = "-your admin credential token generate it from sonarServer-"
    def url = "http://yourBaseURL:portNumber/api/projects/delete"
    sh "curl -u ${sonarToken}: ${url} -d 'project=projectKey'"
}
