SonarQube Stash (BitBucket) plugin

Important note

Version 7.7 of SonarQube dropped support for the extension point sonar-stash uses. This means this plugin can not work on SonarQube versions >= 7.7. Therefore the 1.6.0 release is the last feature-release of sonar-stash.

SonarQube is now a real reviewer! SonarQube Stash (BitBucket) plugin is a pull-request decorator which allows to integrate SonarQube violations directly into your pull-request.

After every run, in addition of the diff view, you may access to an overview of your SQ analysis:

Getting started

Prerequisites

• Git client to checkout the code
• Maven 3.0.5+
• JDK 1.8+
• SonarQube 6.7 (LTS) and 7.6
• Stash (BitBucket) REST API 1.0 (3.x, 4.x)

Note: these are the versions where the plugin has been tested. Other versions may or may not work, YMMV.

To build the plugin

This command generates a jar file:

mvn clean package

To deploy the plugin

Just copy the sonar-stash-plugin jar file to the plugin folder of the expected SonarQube server and restart the SonarQube server. For instance, on Linux platform:

cp target/sonar-stash-plugin-1.0.jar $SONARQUBE_HOME/extensions/plugins

Configuration on SonarQube server

Go to Stash general settings screen on SonarQube server to fill:

Stash base URL (sonar.stash.url): To define Stash instance.

Stash base user (sonar.stash.login): To define user to push violations on Stash pull-request. User must have REPO_READ permission for the repository. Please notice Stash password needs to be provided to sonar-runner through sonar.stash.password on the commandline.

Stash user slug (sonar.stash.user.slug): If the user username contains special characters the API requires the use of a different slug.

Stash issue threshold (sonar.stash.issue.threshold): To limit the number of issue pushed to Stash.

Stash issue severity threshold (sonar.stash.issue.severity.threshold): Defines minimum issue severity to create diff-view comments for. Overview comment will still contain all severities. By default, all issues are pushed to Stash.

Stash timeout (sonar.stash.timeout): To timeout when Stash Rest api does not replied with expected.

Stash reviewer approval (sonar.stash.reviewer.approval): SonarQube is able to approve the pull-request if there is no new issue introduced by the change. By default, this feature is deactivated: if activated, Stash base user must have REPO_WRITE permission for the repositories.

Approval severity (sonar.stash.reviewer.approval.severity.threshold): Only approve the pull-request if no issues higher than this threshold are detected.

Include Analysis Overview Comment (sonar.stash.include.overview): Toggles whether a comment with overview information should be created.

Stash tasks severity threshold (sonar.stash.task.issue.severity.threshold): SonarQube is able to create tasks for all issues with a severity higher to the threshold. By default, this feature is deactivated (threshold: NONE).

Include existing issues (sonar.stash.include.existing.issues): Toggles whether already existing issues should also be reported.

Include Vicinity Issues Range (sonar.stash.include.vicinity.issues.range): Specifies in which area (in lines) around the current diff issues should be reported

Excluded Rules (sonar.stash.exclude.rules): Comma separated list of rules for which no comments should be created.

File names in overview comment(sonar.stash.overview.filenames): Amount of filenames listed in overview comments

How to run the plugin?

Plugin activation for an analysis

To activate the plugin, just add the following options to the SonarQube launcher (for instance with sonar-runner):

For SonarQube 5.2+:

sonar-runner -Dsonar.analysis.mode=issues \
	-Dsonar.stash.notification=true -Dsonar.stash.project=<PROJECT> -Dsonar.stash.repository=<REPO> \
	-Dsonar.stash.pullrequest.id=<PR_ID> -Dsonar.stash.password=<STASH_PASSWORD>...

Repository source configuration

To tell the plugin about the root directory of your repository use the sonar.stash.repository.root property. This is necessary to correlate the the file locations between SonarQube and Stash.

sonar-runner -Dsonar.stash.repository.root="$PWD" -Dsonar.stash.notification

Reset comments of previous SonarQube analysis

If needed, you can reset comments published during the previous SonarQube analysis of your pull-request. Please add sonar.stash.comments.reset option to your SonarQube analysis. Please notice only comments linked to the sonar.stash.login user will be deleted. This reset will be the first action performed by the plugin.

sonar-runner -Dsonar.analysis.mode=incremental -Dsonar.stash.notification -Dsonar.stash.comments.reset -Dsonar.stash.project=<PROJECT> -Dsonar.stash.repository=<REPO> -Dsonar.stash.pullrequest.id=<PR_ID> -Dsonar.stash.password=<STASH_PASSWORD>...

How to activate the coverage inside the pull-request

This functionality has been moved to its own plugin: https://github.com/AmadeusITGroup/sonar-coverage-evolution

Protect passwords

The plugin can also read the password from an environment variable. This is configured by setting sonar.stash.password.variable to the name of the environment variable to read. The prevents the password from leaking into the process table.
