How can I make SonarQube PHP plugin work with PHPUnit?

Question

I had install jenkins and SonarQube Runner 2.4 ,SonarQube Server 5.1.2, php plugin 2.6,phpunit5.1 and then i run with standalone sonarqube analysis,this is my configuration:

sonar.language=php
sonar.projectVersion=1.0
sonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8

sonar.phpCodesniffer.timeout=120
sonar.projectKey=xxx
sonar.projectName=xxxx
sonar.sources=.
sonar.tests=./tests/tests/

Here is the console output:

$ /apps/svr/sonar-runner/bin/sonar-runner -e -Dsonar.projectBaseDir=/home/apps/.jenkins/workspace/pc_dev_example -Dsonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8 -Dsonar.sources=. -Dsonar.language=php -Dsonar.projectVersion=1.0 -Dsonar.projectKey=php:pc_dev_example -Dsonar.phpUnit.argumentLine="/apps/svr/sonar" -Dsonar.inclusions=applications/vipuser/public/passport.php -Dsonar.phpCodesniffer.timeout=120 -Dsonar.tests=./tests/tests/ -Dsonar.projectName=pc_dev_example

Answer 1

to generate unit and coverage reports for sonar-scanner with phpunit :

you have to install xdebug before

pecl install xdebug

then

php -dzend_extension=xdebug.so phpunit.phar --configuration phpunit.xml --coverage-clover phpunit.coverage.xml --log-junit phpunit.report.xml

Changes in your sonar-project.properties file:

sonar.php.coverage.reportPaths=phpunit.coverage.xml
sonar.php.tests.reportPath=phpunit.report.xml

Answer 2

From your logs:

No PHPUnit test report provided (see 'sonar.php.tests.reportPath' property)

You should configure sonar.php.tests.reportPath as mentioned in the logs and in the documentation on "PHP Unit Test and Coverage Results Import".

Answer 3

As others answered, you need to generate coverage reports from phpunit by setting --coverage-clover.

One very important point is that it won't work by only setting that parameter and you need to set whitelist directories:

• Whitelist for phpunit
• Docs
