Executes a sonar scan. This operation takes inputs for both a Sonar project properties path and an analysis properties file. If both are provided, the plugin will use the analysis properties and do nothing with the path. This operation only returns its task Id and browsable url on the specified SonarQube instance.

Info
titleAnalysis Properties

There are a significant amount of analysis parameters available to augment a Sonar scan. It is recommended to research which parameters are necessary for your projects and sonar scans.

Special Considerations

  • SonarQube instance required

    titleGet started with a SonarQube Instance in two minutes
    1. Download the SonarQube Community Edition.

    2. As a non-root user, unzip it, let's say in C:\sonarqube or /opt/sonarqube.

    3. As a non-root user, start the SonarQube Server: 

      Code Block
      themeEclipse
      # On Windows, execute:
      C:\sonarqube\bin\windows-x86-xx\StartSonar.bat
      
      # On other operating systems, as a non-root user execute:
      /opt/sonarqube/bin/[OS]/sonar.sh console

      titleTroubleshooting

      If you're having trouble starting your server for the first time (or any subsequent time!) the first thing to do is check your server logs. You'll find them in $SONARQUBE_HOME/logs:

      • sonar.log - Log for the main process. Holds general information about startup and shutdown. You'll get overall status here but not details. Look to the other logs for that.
      • web.log - Information about initial connection to the database, database migration and reindexing, and the processing of HTTP requests. This includes database and search engine logs related to those requests.
      • ce.log - Information about background task processing and the database and search engine logs related to those tasks.
      • es.log - Ops information from the search engine, such as Elasticsearch startup, health status changes, cluster-, node- and index-level operations, etc.


    4. Log in to http://localhost:9000 with System Administrator credentials (login=admin, password=admin).

    5. Click the Create new project button to analyze your first project.
