Based on the extra information provided that the Gerrit plugin being used is the jenkinsci / sonar-gerrit-plugin

Add the newline character as \n\n\n into your template, append it to the part of the comment where you want to start the next line of the comment.

In your example, to break the comment into 3 lines it will be like the following:

noIssuesTitleTemplate: 'SonarQube Evaluations.....violations have not been found.\n\n\nCodeCOV on New Code: ${codeCoveragePercent}% and\n\n\nDuplicated Lines on New Code ${codeDuplicates}'

This will appear on Gerrit:

SonarQube Evaluations.....violations have not been found.
CodeCOV on New Code: ${codeCoveragePercent}% and 
Duplicated Lines on New Code ${codeDuplicates}

Note, that single quotes are used based on the Github page for the plugin, this should ensure that the line breaks are preserved and passed as separate lines to the Gerrit plugin.

  • it does not do it. i feel like this comment is passed to gerrit server and that has to decide how to break lines. so what should be set for gerrit server to break lines? – AhmFM Mar 29 '23 at 16:41
  • How are you sending the comment ? Are you doing - ```ssh -p ...```, just wondering what the full command is to the server – djmonki Mar 29 '23 at 18:55
  • the comment is posted by `sonar-gerrit` plugin. https://github.com/jenkinsci/sonar-gerrit-plugin – AhmFM Mar 29 '23 at 21:36
  • try this - ```noIssuesTitleTemplate : 'SonarQube Evaluations.....violations have not been found.\n\n\nCodeCOV on New Code: ${codeCoveragePercent}% and\n\n\nDuplicated Lines on New Code ${codeDuplicates}',``` – djmonki Mar 30 '23 at 02:33
  • no luck. just prints this the above line as is. I have to use double quote for var expansion. – AhmFM Mar 30 '23 at 10:36
  • OK - out of the box thinking here - shall we try 1: ```"'SonarQube Evaluations.....violations have not been found.\n\n\nCodeCOV on New Code: ' ${codeCoveragePercent} '% and\n\n\nDuplicated Lines on New Code' ${codeDuplicates}"``` – djmonki Mar 30 '23 at 11:56
  • Also try 2: ```"SonarQube Evaluations.....violations have not been found.
    CodeCOV on New Code: ${codeCoveragePercent}% and
    Duplicated Lines on New Code ${codeDuplicates}"```     – djmonki Mar 30 '23 at 11:57
  • no dice again. it prints `
    ` as is in title.     – AhmFM Mar 30 '23 at 15:32
