## TL;DR

For "WARN: Could not resolve 47 file paths in [.../lcov.info]": go to step 2. - No coverage report can be found with sonar.coverage.jacoco.xmlReportPaths='...' Using default locations: target/site/jacoco/jacoco.xml,target/site/jacoco-it/jacoco.xml,build/reports/jacoco/test/jacocoTestReport.xml, the configured path did not match anything on disk.

## When to use

You are seeing this: The one fact that organizes everything: SonarQube never computes coverage; it only imports reports. Use this skill when you run into "Diagnose SonarQube showing 0% or missing coverage: report import failures".

## When not to use

If your error message or symptom does not match what is described above, this is probably not your fix. Search for your exact error text instead of forcing this one to fit.

## Versions

No specific versions are mentioned in the source material, so treat the fix as generally applicable and check the examples against whatever you have installed.

Use this when SonarQube shows 0% coverage, "No coverage information", or coverage
that does not match what your coverage tool reports locally. Classify from the
scanner log first, the fix depends on which sensor line you see.

The one fact that organizes everything: **SonarQube never computes coverage; it
only imports reports.** If the UI shows nothing, either no report was imported or
the imported report's file paths did not match the indexed sources. Your coverage
tool is not broken until proven otherwise, check the import first.

## 1. Check what the coverage sensor actually did

Re-run the scanner (verbose is not required) and find the coverage sensor lines:

- **No coverage sensor lines at all, only `Sensor Zero Coverage Sensor`**, no
 report was found or no report property is configured. The Zero Coverage Sensor
 marks files it cannot match to any report as 0%. Go to step 2.
- **`No coverage report can be found with sonar.coverage.jacoco.xmlReportPaths='...'
 Using default locations: target/site/jacoco/jacoco.xml,target/site/jacoco-it/jacoco.xml,build/reports/jacoco/test/jacocoTestReport.xml`**
 , the configured path did not match anything on disk. Go to step 3.
- **`WARN: Could not resolve 47 file paths in [.../lcov.info]` / `First unresolved
 path: ...`** (JavaScript/TypeScript), the report was found, but the `SF:` paths
 inside it do not resolve to analyzed files. Go to step 4.
- **`Analysing [...]` then `Importing 1 report(s)` but the UI still shows 0%** 
 the import ran, but the report's files are not indexed as sources (excluded via
 `sonar.exclusions`, outside `sonar.sources`, or a stale report from a renamed
 module). Go to step 5.

## 2. Java / JaCoCo: it must be XML, and it must exist before the scan

- SonarQube imports the JaCoCo **XML** report only. The old binary format
 (`.exec`) and the deprecated `sonar.jacoco.reportPaths` property are no longer
 honored. Configure the JaCoCo Maven plugin with a `prepare-agent` execution and
 a `report` execution bound to the `test` phase, then point the scanner at the
 XML with `sonar.coverage.jacoco.xmlReportPaths` (or rely on the defaults in the
 log message above).
- The coverage report must be generated **in the same pipeline run, before the
 scanner step**. `mvn clean install sonar:sonar` works because `verify`-phase
 tests and the `report` goal run before `sonar:sonar`; a pipeline that runs
 tests and analysis as independent parallel jobs with no shared workspace has
 nothing to import.
- Use paths relative to the project base directory, not absolute ones, absolute
 paths break as soon as the workspace moves (Docker builds are the classic
 case). Ant-style wildcards such as `**/jacoco.xml` are supported for
 multi-module layouts.
- For Gradle multi-module projects, aggregate first: generate one full report
 task that merges every submodule's execution data, and point every submodule's
 `sonar.coverage.jacoco.xmlReportPaths` at that single full report. Pointing at
 per-module reports undercounts classes covered from other modules.

## 3. JavaScript / TypeScript: `SF:` paths must anchor to the project base dir

The JS/TS coverage sensor (`sonar.javascript.lcov.reportPaths`, default
`coverage/lcov.info`) resolves each `SF:` line against the project base directory.
Anything that shifts the anchor breaks every match and yields 0% on new code:

- Tests run from a subdirectory so `SF:` lines read `../../src/...`, rewrite them
 to project-root-relative paths in CI before the scan step.
- Absolute `SF:` paths baked in a Docker image or on a developer's machine that do
 not exist on the CI agent.
- The old `sonar.typescript.lcov.reportPaths` property is retired; both languages
 go through `sonar.javascript.lcov.reportPaths` now.

## 4. Other stacks: the report property per language

- Python: `sonar.python.coverage.reportPaths` (default `coverage.xml` from
 `coverage.py`, generate with `coverage xml`, not just `coverage report`).
- .NET: `sonar.cs.opencover.reportsPaths` (Coverlet with the `opencover` format)
 or `sonar.cs.vscoveragexml.reportsPaths`; Coverlet's default `cobertura` format
 needs the matching Cobertura property.
- Cobertura XML (any language): `sonar.coverage.cobertura.xmlReportPaths`.

## 5. If the import ran but the UI disagrees

- Files listed in the report must be indexed as **sources**, not tests and not
 excluded. `sonar.coverage.exclusions` is the right place for generated or
 vendored code; if the report references a file that `sonar.exclusions` removes,
 its coverage silently vanishes.
- Lombok-annotated Java classes show artificially low condition coverage because
 JaCoCo instruments the generated methods. The fix is report-side, in a
 `lombok.config` at the repo root with `lombok.addLombokGeneratedAnnotation = true`,
 so JaCoCo omits generated code from the XML SonarQube imports.
- A class with only generated code may show **no coverage information** rather
 than 0%, that is the report containing the file with zero coverable lines,
 not an import failure.
- New-code coverage is computed from changed lines (blame data). On a shallow
 clone the scanner warns `Shallow clone detected, no blame information will be
 provided`; overall coverage can look fine while new-code coverage is empty.

## 6. Checklist for the failing import

1. Confirm the report file exists on disk in the scan workspace, generated by the
 test step in the same run.
2. Confirm the format: JaCoCo XML (never `.exec`), lcov with `SF:` paths,
 `coverage.xml` for Python, OpenCover/Cobertura for .NET.
3. Match the property to the language and make the path relative to the project
 base dir (wildcards allowed).
4. Read the sensor lines: "No coverage report can be found" = path problem;
 "Could not resolve N file paths" = anchor problem; silent + Zero Coverage
 Sensor = nothing found at all.
5. Confirm the report's files are indexed sources (not excluded, not test-only).
6. For new-code coverage specifically, confirm the clone has full history so blame
 data exists.
