Sonarqube Integration With Jenkins For Code Analysis

sonarqube is a opensource static code analysis tool. It is able to analyse code in about 30 different programming languages. it calculates a set of metrics like Complexity, Duplication’s, Coding Rules, Potential Bugs. It stores them in a database and shows them on a dashboard. In the following steps i will show you how sonarqube integration with Jenkins for code analysis.

Here you can mention properties in two ways, one is by giving the path of your sonar-project.properties in Path to project properties file section. Or manually giving the properties in Analysis properties section.
Here i am giving manually in Analysis properties section.

sonar.projectKey=decodingdevops
sonar.projectName=devops
sonar.projectVersion=1.0
sonar.sources=/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/$JOB_NAME/my-app/src
sonar.java.binaries=**/target/classes

sonar.sources=/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/$JOB_NAME/<PROJECT_NAME>/src
Here project name is nothing but directory name of your project in git hub or bit bucket or SCM.

save the jobs that’s all we have successfully integrated sonarqube with jenkins. build the job you can see the code analysis in sonarqube server.

if you are using amazon ec2 instances you have to enable the 9000 port of sonarqube server from jenkins server ip otherwise jenkins cannot reach sonarqube server. now we have successfully done sonarqube integration with Jenkins for code analysis.
