Gets information about a completed sonar scan such as quality gate status, task status, and project name. This operation takes SonarQube Account Code, SonarQube project key, and taskId (scan Id), as input.

Special Considerations

• SonarQube instance required

  analyzeCode

  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-rootuser, start the SonarQube Server: 

     # 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
     

     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 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.

• Sonar Scanner installed on target environment

  • Download the CLI Sonar Scanner

Example

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

• 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: Get the task id for the scan you want to retrieve. You can do this two ways.

• If you ran a startScan operation then you can use the task id returned from its output 

OR

• If you have admin access on your SonarQube Instance, then you can access the task Id for any projects scan directly by going to Projects→selecting a project→Administration→Background Tasks. The task id is under the ID column.

Step 5: Define output names for all outputs you wish to return (FDSQ_OUT_QUALITY_GATE_STATUS, FDSQ_OUT_DASHBOARD_URL, FDSQ_OUT_TASK_ID, ect..) 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.
