A plugin for SonarQube to allow branch analysis in the Community version.
This plugin is not maintained or supported by SonarSource and has no official upgrade path for migrating from the SonarQube Community Edition to any of the Commercial Editions (Developer, Enterprise, or Data Center Edition). Support for any problems is only available through issues on the Github repository or through alternative channels (e.g. StackOverflow) and any attempt to request support for this plugin directly from SonarSource or an affiliated channel ( e.g. Sonar Community forum) is likely to result in your request being closed or ignored.
If you plan on migrating your SonarQube data to a commercial edition after using this plugin then please be aware that this may result in some or all of your data being lost due to this compatibility of this plugin and the official SonarQube branch features being untested.
Use the following table to find the correct plugin version for each SonarQube version
| SonarQube Version | Plugin Version |
|---|---|
| 10.3 | 1.18.0 |
| 10.2 | 1.17.1 |
| 10.1 | 1.16.0 |
| 10.0 | 1.15.0 |
| 9.9 (LTS) | 1.14.0 |
Older versions are listed on the Github release page but are no longer supported.
The plugin is intended to support the features and parameters from the SonarQube documentation.
Please ensure you follow the installation instructions for the version of the plugin you're installing by looking at the README on the relevant release tag.
Either build the project or download a compatible release version of the plugin JAR .
- Copy the plugin JAR file to the
extensions/plugins/directory of your SonarQube instance - Add
-javaagent:./extensions/plugins/sonarqube-community-branch-plugin-${version}.jar=webto thesonar.web.javaAdditionalOptsproperty in your Sonarqube installation'sconf/sonar.propertiesfile, e.g.sonar.web.javaAdditionalOpts=-javaagent:./extensions/plugins/sonarqube-community-branch-plugin-${version}.jar=webwhere ${version} is the version of the plugin being worked with. e.g1.8.0 - Add
-javaagent:./extensions/plugins/sonarqube-community-branch-plugin-${version}.jar=ceto thesonar.ce.javaAdditionalOptsproperty in your Sonarqube installation'sconf/sonar.propertiesfile, e.g.sonar.ce.javaAdditionalOpts=-javaagent:./extensions/plugins/sonarqube-community-branch-plugin-${version}.jar=ce - Start Sonarqube, and accept the warning about using third-party plugins
The plugin is distributed in the mc1arke/sonarqube-with-community-branch-plugin Docker image, with the image versions matching the up-stream Sonarqube image version.
Note: If you're setting the SONAR_WEB_JAVAADDITIONALOPTS or SONAR_CE_JAVAADDITIONALOPTS environment variables in
your container launch then you'll need to add the javaagent configuration to your overrides to match what's in the
provided Dockerfile.
A docker-compose.yml file is provided.
It uses the env variables available in .env.
To use it, clone the repository and execute docker-compose up. Note that you need to have docker-compose installed in your system and added to your PATH
When using
Sonarqube official Helm Chart,
you need to add the following settings to your helm values, where ${version} should be replaced with the plugin
version (e.g. 1.11.0). Beware of the changes made in helm chart version 6.1.0:
plugins:
install:
- https://github.com/mc1arke/sonarqube-community-branch-plugin/releases/download/${version}/sonarqube-community-branch-plugin-${version}.jar
lib:
- sonarqube-community-branch-plugin-${version}.jar
jvmOpts: "-javaagent:/opt/sonarqube/lib/common/sonarqube-community-branch-plugin-${version}.jar=web"
jvmCeOpts: "-javaagent:/opt/sonarqube/lib/common/sonarqube-community-branch-plugin-${version}.jar=ce"plugins:
install:
- https://github.com/mc1arke/sonarqube-community-branch-plugin/releases/download/${version}/sonarqube-community-branch-plugin-${version}.jar
jvmOpts: "-javaagent:/opt/sonarqube/extensions/plugins/sonarqube-community-branch-plugin-${version}.jar=web"
jvmCeOpts: "-javaagent:/opt/sonarqube/extensions/plugins/sonarqube-community-branch-plugin-${version}.jar=ce"If you set persistence.enabled=true on SonarQube chart, the plugin might be copied to this path, based on the helm chart version, mentioned above (${plugin-path} equals lib/common or extensions/plugins):
/opt/sonarqube/${plugin-path}/sonarqube-community-branch-plugin-${version}.jar/sonarqube-community-branch-plugin-${version}.jar
instead of this:
/opt/sonarqube/${plugin-path}/sonarqube-community-branch-plugin-${version}.jar
As a workaround either change the paths in the config above, or exec into the container and move file up the directory to match the config.
Make sure sonar.core.serverBaseURL in SonarQube /admin/settings is properly
set in order to for the links in the comment to work.
Set all other properties that you can define globally for all of your projects.
In order to decorate your Pull Request's source branch, you need to analyze your target branch first.
If the scan is being run from a CI supporting auto-configuration then the scanner can be launched without any branch
parameters. Otherwise, the analysis needs the following setting:
sonar.branch.name = branch_name (e.g master)
Carefully read the official SonarQube guide for pull request decoration
In there you'll find the following properties that need to be set, unless your CI support auto-configuration.
sonar.pullrequest.key = pull_request_id (e.g. 100)
sonar.pullrequest.branch = source_branch_name (e.g feature/TICKET-123)
sonar.pullrequest.base = target_branch_name (e.g master)
sonar.branch properties like sonar.branch.name arguments set when you analyze a
pull-request. These properties indicate to sonar that a branch is being analyzed rather than a pull-request so no
pull-request decoration will be executed.
By default, images for PR decoration are served as static resources on the SonarQube server as a part of Community Branch Plugin.
If you use a SonarQube server behind a firewall and/or PR service (Github, Gitlab etc.) doesn't have access to SonarQube
server, you should change Images base URL property in General > Pull Request settings.
Anyone needing to set this value can use the
URL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mc1arke/sonarqube-community-branch-plugin/master/src/main/resources/static, or
download the files from this location and host them themself.
If you want to try and test the current branch or build it for your development execute ./gradlew clean build
inside of the project directory. This will put the built jar under libs/sonarqube-community-branch-plugin*.jar
