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.

Artifacts
This operation doesn’t consume or produce any artifacts.
Endpoint Selection
This operation will select all available endpoints associated to the environment/instancedelegates the selection to the workflow developer to determine.
Endpoint Execution
This operation will execute on any one of the selected endpoints and will be random in the determination of which oneoperations delegates the execution to the workflow developer to decide.

| title | Installing from Zip File |
|---|
...
Download the SonarQube Community Edition.
...
As a non-root user, unzip it, let's say in C:\sonarqube or /opt/sonarqube.
As anon-rootuser, start the SonarQube Server:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
# 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 |

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
|
...
Log in to http://localhost:9000 with System Administrator credentials (login=admin, password=admin).
...
Click the Create new project button to analyze your first project.

Step 2: Create a SonarQube Analysis Tool Account
...
Under SonarQube Account define:
SonarQube Instance URL (http://host:port with no extra "/" at the end).
Token OR username AND password for SonarQube Instance.
Step 3: Set your host url
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:sonar-scanner.properties
Code Block #----- 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.
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/)
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: Create a project, select your sonar scan workflow, and instance.
Step 7: Run the workflow to start your sonar scan.
