jenkins + sonar + github integration

Question

Problem: I am setting up jenkins + sonar + github integration for automatic pullrequest static code check through sonar.

My Configuration:

1. Installed Sonar with github

2. Installed jenkins

3. In jenkins post-build action I have the following properties

-Dsonar.github.login=bhuwang    -Dsonar.github.repository=company/repo   -Dsonar.verbose=true  -Dsonar.analysis.mode=preview  -Dsonar.issuesReport.console.enable=true  -Dsonar.forceUpdate=true  -Dsonar.github.login=gitusername  -Dsonar.github.oauth=token 

4. Token was generated from my github account.

In this link I have read that I have to provide the following properties while running sonarqube:

I have added all except sonar.github.pullRequest properties. I don't know how do I get this property value dynamically. Seems like above four properties are must to work properly.

Edit: I have found the way to add property -Dsonar.github.pullRequest=pullrequestNo

And the good news is it is working perfectly fine now with hardcoded pull request no. but I need the dynamic way to get the pull request no.

Does anyone know how to get the pull request no. dynamically inside jenkins.?

I have found that pull request builder will work but no luck at my end. I am not able to use pull request builder environment variables inside sonar properties.

Answer 1

Finally I am able to solve this issue. Here is the detail:

1. Install Sonar with GitHub plugin.

2. Install Jenkins with the following plugins

   • GitHub Pull Request Builder
   • SonarQube Plugin
   • GIT plugin
   • GitHub plugin

Follow this link to setup pull request builder plugin: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/GitHub+pull+request+builder+plugin#GitHubpullrequestbuilderplugin-EnvironmentVariables

• 3. Global Jenkins System Setup:
• Goto Manage Jenkins -> Configure System
• Configure jdk
• Install sonarQube Runner
• Configure Sonar
• Git WebHook Setup

• PullRequest Builder Setup

  4. Create Free Style Jenkins job

• add github url to GitHub Project section

• Setup Source Code Management Section

• Setup Build Trigger

• Setup Sonar for post build actions

• In the additional properties section provide the following sonar properties

-Dsonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8  -Dsonar.analysis.mode=preview  -Dsonar.github.repository=company/repo -Dsonar.github.login=gitusername  -Dsonar.github.oauth=oauthtoken -Dsonar.host.url=sonarhostedurl -Dsonar.login=admin  -Dsonar.password=pass -Dsonar.github.pullRequest=${ghprbPullId} ${ghprbPullId}: this will be provided via github pullrequest builder plugin 

Note: The job should be triggered through pullrequest builder plugin otherwise ${ghprbPullId} will return blank. If you run the job manually this will not work for that you have to pass this ${ghprbPullId} property as a build parameter. If you want to check the environment parameter available follow this Git environment variables for use in executing Jenkins shell scripts

I hope this helps.
