No variable when customizing template with sonar-scanner

[69pmb]

Hello,

Use versions:

• Gitlab: 16.3.5
• Sonarqube: 9.9.2.77730
• Sonar scanner: 5.0.1.3006-linux
• Sonar-gitlab-plugin: 5.4.0

I would like to override the default template when using sonar_scanner.
I succeed to do it with maven by using this command for java projects:

 mvn clean org.jacoco:jacoco-maven-plugin:prepare-agent install org.jacoco:jacoco-maven-plugin:report sonar:sonar -s settings.xml
      -Dsonar.gitlab.commit_sha=$CI_COMMIT_SHA
      -Dsonar.gitlab.ref_name=$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME
      -Dsonar.gitlab.project_id=$CI_PROJECT_ID
      -Dsonar.gitlab.user_token=${TECHNICAL_GITLAB_TOKEN_API}
      -Dsonar.gitlab.global_template="$(cat sonar-comment.ftl)"
      -Dsonar.issuesReport.html.enable=true
      -Dsonar.login=${SONARQUBE_TOKEN}
      -Dsonar.branch.name=$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME
      -Dsonar.newCode.referenceBranch=develop

For Angular projets I use this command:

sonar-scanner -X
      -Dsonar.login=$SONARQUBE_TOKEN
      -Dsonar.gitlab.commit_sha=$CI_COMMIT_SHA
      -Dsonar.gitlab.ref_name=$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME
      -Dsonar.gitlab.project_id=$CI_PROJECT_ID
      -Dsonar.gitlab.global_template="$(cat sonar-comment.ftl)"
      -Dsonar.gitlab.user_token=${TECHNICAL_GITLAB_TOKEN_API}
      -Dsonar.issuesReport.html.enable=true
      -Dsonar.branch.name=$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME
      -Dsonar.newCode.referenceBranch=develop

The global comment is indeed overridden but variables are not available/evaluated.
My Template:

  ## <@g gate=qualityGate/> The SonarQube analysis indicates that quality gate is <@s status=qualityGate.status/> <@g gate=qualityGate/>

        </#if>

        <#assign reportedIssueCount = 0>

            <#if reportedIssueCount < maxGlobalIssues>
