SonarQube is a continuous inspection tool. SonarQube provides the capability to not only show health of an application but also to highlight issues newly introduced. With a Quality Gate in place, you can fix the leak and therefore improve code quality systematically.
2- VersionSonarQube 6.7.3
3- Installation
Following is instruction-set to get setup with SonarQube:
1- Use given below link to download SonarQube 6.7.3
https://www.sonarqube.org/downloads/
2- Unzip the downloaded file.
3- Go to <install_directory>/bin folder. You would find different folders related with OS platforms. As I have 64 bit Win system, I further went inside “windows-x86-64″ folder.
4- You shall find different shell scripts files. For my win platform, I found different *.bat file such as InstallNTService.bat, StartNTService.bat, StartSonar.bat etc.
5- Copy the path of this folder which may look like S<install_director>/bin/Windows-x86-64 (in case of my laptop), and append it to “Path” environment variable.
6- Open a command prompt, type “StartSonar” command and execute. This would start a web server at default port of 9000.
7- Open a web browser and access the page, http://localhost:9000.
4- Installation of Code Analyzer
Lets move further to analyze out HelloWorld project. I coded a HelloWorld Java project using Eclipse IDE.
Following is instruction-set to get setup with Code Analyzer (SonarQube Scanner). The SonarQube Scanner is recommended as the default launcher to analyze a project with SonarQube.
1- Use given below link to download SonarQube Scanner 3.1
https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SCAN/Analyzing+with+SonarQube+Scanner
2- Unzip the file to appropriate location.
3- Setup the SONAR_RUNNER_HOME environment variable and assign it to SonarRunner installation directory.
4- Add the <install_directory>/bin directory to your path.
5- Check the basic installation by opening a new shell and executing the command sonar-scanner -h (on Windows platform the command is sonar-scanner.bat -h).
6- If above get executed, you are all set to analyze your first project with SonarQube runner.
5- Analysis of HelloWorld Java Project
1- Create a configuration file in the root directory of the project, namely, sonar-project.properties.
2- Sample file is given below:
File Name- sonar-project.properties
File Contents-
sonar.projectKey=my:helloWorld
sonar.projectName=My project
sonar.projectVersion=1.0
sonar.sources=.
sonar.sources=src/main/java/
sonar.language=java
sonar.java.binaries=target/classes
3- Build the project before start analyze the source code.
Command- mvn clean compile
4- Open a command prompt, and go to project root folder.
5- Execute “sonar-scanner” command to run the analysis. You would see the analysis run.
6- Goto the browser and access the page, http://localhost:9000.
7- You would find your project listed under “PROJECTS”. Click on your project listing and you would land up on the project dashboard.
6- Analysis of HelloWorld Java Project using (Eclipse, maven)
1- Add the given below maven dependency in pom.xml file.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.sonarsource.scanner.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>sonar-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.2</version>
</dependency>
2- Add the given below profile configuration into pom.xml file.
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>sonar</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
</activation>
<properties>
<sonar.host.url>
http://localhost:9000
</sonar.host.url>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
3- Right click on project -> Run As -> Maven build...
Configuration and lunch screen will display. In side Goals text box type the given below command and click on Run button.
clean compile sonar:sonar
4- Goto the browser and access the page, http://localhost:9000.
5- You would find your project listed under “PROJECTS”. Click on your project listing and you would land up on the project dashboard.
