Executes a sonar scan, waits for it complete, and then returns the information on completed scan. This operation takes inputs for both a Sonar project properties path and an analysis properties file but only requires one. If both are provided, the plugin will use the analysis properties and do nothing with the path. This operation only returns information including but not limited to quality gate status, dashboard url, task Id, analysis Id, and task status.

Info

Analysis Properties

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

    A SonarQube instance is required

    See sonar

    . Here is guidance on installing that if necessary.

Excerpt

  2. As a non-rootuser, start the SonarQube Server: 

    Code Block

  1. # On Windows, execute:

# On other operating systems, as a non-root user execute:

  1. Troubleshooting Sonar

    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

...

  1. 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.

  2. Log in

...

  1. to http://localhost:9000

...

  1.  with System Administrator credentials (login=admin, password=admin).

  2. Click

...

  1. the Create new project

...

  1.  button to analyze your first project.

Excerpt
nameSonar Authentication

Step 1: Gather authentication information.

  • 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. 

You may be asked for a token type. A global Analysis Token is appropriate.

Step 2: Create a SonarQube Analysis Tool Account

...

  • 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.

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

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/)
