Replace the default file pattern and suffix at global level for Sonar-Flow

[alok347]

Hi Team,

I am maintaining the enterprise edition of sonarqube 7.9 LTS version for my company. The SonarQube instance is centrally hosted and currently have 2k+ projects analysed. We have recently got a request from users to install Flow-Plugin for their project.

Issue:

Post installation of the Flow plugin we are getting below error

"ERROR: Language of file ‘AH_002004_Pub_NASA/ns/ah_002004_pub_nasa/v01/changeHistory/flow.xml’ can not be decided as the file matches patterns of both sonar.lang.patterns.xml : /*.xml,/.xsd,/.xsl and sonar.lang.patterns.flow : /.xml,/.ndf"**

This is breaking the analysis for other projects. As a workaround, we used a parameter to "-Dsonar.lang.patterns.flow=xml" to avoid the conflict and it fixed the issue. But this solution is not feasible as this would require changes in pipelines of multiple projects.

As a workaround we tried changing the global configuration of flow plugin by changing the flow file pattern to a different path and changing the suffix to a different one other than xm. please refer to below SS:

This changed reflected at the project level settings of flow plugin. Later, we tried updating the flow plugin configuration at the project settings but failed to do so . Please refer to the below SS:

Doing so will help us make changes only for the projects that want to use Flow Plugin rather than making the changes for large number of projects.
We need your expertise to resolve this issue and mitigate the impact on production application. Can you please let us know how to achieve this?
