Artifacts
This operation doesn’t consume or produce any artifacts.
...
- If you choose to use a token over username and password for authentication you can generate it on your SonarQube Server. To get a SonarQube Token: login to your SonarQube Instance (http://host:port ex: http://localhost:9000/) and navigate to My Account->Security->Generate New Token. Make sure you copy and save this token somewhere secure because after you leave this screen you will not be able to see your token again.
Step 2: Create your a SonarQube Analysis Tool Account
- Under SonarQube Account define:
- The bin folder location of your sonar scanner on your environment.
- SonarQube Instance URL (http://host:port with no extra "/" at the end).
- Token OR username AND password for SonarQube Instance.
...
- Navigate to your SonarQube installation location. We'll refer to it as
$install_directoryin the next steps. - Update the global settings to point to your SonarQube server by editing
$install_directory/conf/sonar-scanner.properties:Code Block title sonar-scanner.properties #----- Default SonarQube server #sonar.host.url=http://localhost:9000 #Don't forget to remove the "#" here if it is there by default
Step 4: Define sonar project properties (2 options)
- 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.
- 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. If both are defined then Analysis Properties will take precedence.
- For a list of all possible properties available visit SonarQube Analysis Properties.
Step 5: Define output names for FDSQ_OUT_TASK_ID and FDSQ_OUT_DASHBOARD_URL and create variables with matching names.
Step 6: Run the workflow to start your sonar scan.
