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.

Special Considerations
SonarQube instance required
Expand title Get started with a SonarQube Instance in two minutes Download the SonarQube Community Edition.
As a non-
rootuser, unzip it, let's say in C:\sonarqube or /opt/sonarqube.As a non-
rootuser, start the SonarQube Server:Code Block theme Eclipse # 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
Info title Troubleshooting 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.
Log in to http://localhost:9000 with System Administrator credentials (login=admin, password=admin).

- Option 1: Create a configuration file in the root directory of the project and name it sonar-project.properties, then give the file path to this file under Sonar Project Properties Path.
Info title Note Sonar Project Properties Path or Analysis Properties is required but not both. Notice both are defined in this example, therefore, the analysis properties will take precedence.
- Option 2: Create the sonar project properties from the Workflow screen under Analysis Properties.
Info title Note Sonar Project Properties Path or Analysis Properties is required but not both. Notice both are defined in this example, therefore, the analysis properties will take precedence.
Info title Note Omitting sonar.sources or sonar.projectBaseDir properties means the sonar scan will default to scanning all files in the base directory of the workflow execution → Endpoint Base Directory/ProjectId/WorkflowExecutionId (I.E.: prod/flexdeploy/fdtlt04/work/302231/198535/)
