How does SonarQube integrate with GitHub actions?

Importing your GitHub repositories to SonarQube

  1. Create your GitHub App.
  2. Install your GitHub App in your organization.
  3. Update your SonarQube global settings with your GitHub App information.

What is SonarQube used for?

SonarQube is a Code Quality Assurance tool that collects and analyzes source code, and provides reports for the code quality of your project. It combines static and dynamic analysis tools and enables quality to be measured continually over time.

How do you use sonar exclusions?

To use exclusions to analyze only the specified subset(s) of files in sonar. sources , go to Project Settings > General Settings > Analysis Scope > Files. You can set these properties at both the project and global levels.

What is sonar project key?

sonar.projectKey – The project key that is unique for each project. sonar.projectName – Name of the project that will be displayed on the web interface. sonar.projectVersion – The project version. sonar.sources – Comma-separated paths to directories containing source files.

How do I run local Sonar?

First steps

  1. Run SonarQube server.
  2. Run docker ps and check if a server is up and running.
  3. Wait for the server to start and log in to SonarQube server on http://localhost:9000 using default credentials: login: admin password: admin.
  4. Go to: http://localhost:9000/account/security/ and generate a token.

How do I set sonar project properties?

To run SonarScanner from the zip file, follow these steps:

  1. Expand the downloaded file into the directory of your choice.
  2. Add the $install_directory/bin directory to your path.
  3. Verify your installation by opening a new shell and executing the command sonar-scanner -h ( sonar-scanner.bat -h on Windows).

Is sonar a build tool?

SonarQube (formerly Sonar) is an open-source platform developed by SonarSource for continuous inspection of code quality to perform automatic reviews with static analysis of code to detect bugs, code smells, and security vulnerabilities on 20+ programming languages.

How does a sonar work?

Active sonar transducers emit an acoustic signal or pulse of sound into the water. If an object is in the path of the sound pulse, the sound bounces off the object and returns an “echo” to the sonar transducer. If the transducer is equipped with the ability to receive signals, it measures the strength of the signal.

How do you stop Sonar issues?

You can put //NOSONAR at the end of the line triggering the warning. For most languages, SonarQube supports the use of the generic mechanism: //NOSONAR at the end of the line of the issue. This will suppress all issues – now and in the future – that might be raised on the line.

How do I set Sonar project properties?

How do I set Sonar properties?

Go to your project folder which you want to scan. Create one new file inside your project’s root folder path with name “sonar-project”. The extension of the file will be “. properties”.

How do I know if sonar is running?

Setup SonarQube

  1. Run SonarQube server.
  2. Run docker ps and check if a server is up and running.
  3. Wait for the server to start and log in to SonarQube server on http://localhost:9000 using default credentials: login: admin password: admin.
  4. Go to: http://localhost:9000/account/security/ and generate a token.

What can I do with the sonar log?

You can use the SONAR log to monitor events. You can also view the SONAR Detection Results report (under Risk Reports) to view information about detections. You can change the detection action for some types of threats that SONAR detects. You might want to change the detection action to reduce false positive detections.

What should I do if sonar is running on my computer?

If you set the action for high risk detections to log only, you might allow potential threats on your client computers. In some cases, an application might become unstable or cannot run when SONAR injects code into the application to examine it. You can create a file, folder, or application exception for the application.

What are the different types of sonar technology?

Two types of technology share the name “sonar”: passive sonar is essentially listening for the sound made by vessels; active sonar is emitting pulses of sounds and listening for echoes. Sonar may be used as a means of acoustic location and of measurement of the echo characteristics of “targets” in the water.

Is there a way to Auto Protect sonar?

SONAR requires Auto-Protect. You can use the Clients tab to check whether Proactive Threat Protection is enabled on your client computers. SONAR settings are part of a Virus and Spyware Protection policy. SONAR uses reputation data in addition to heuristics to make detections.
