Using this GitHub Action, scan your code with SonarCloud to detects bugs, vulnerabilities and code smells in more than 20 programming languages!
SonarCloud is the leading product for Continuous Code Quality & Code Security online, totally free for open-source projects. It supports all major programming languages, including Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, C#, C/C++ and many more. If your code is closed source, SonarCloud also offers a paid plan to run private analyses.
- Have an account on SonarCloud. Sign up for free now if it's not already the case!
- The repository to analyze is set up on SonarCloud. Set it up in just one click.
Project metadata, including the location to the sources to be analyzed, must be declared in the file sonar-project.properties
in the base directory:
sonar.organization=<replace with your SonarCloud organization key>
sonar.projectKey=<replace with the key generated when setting up the project on SonarCloud>
# relative paths to source directories. More details and properties are described
# in https://sonarcloud.io/documentation/project-administration/narrowing-the-focus/
sonar.sources=.
The workflow, usually declared in .github/workflows/build.yml
, looks like:
on:
# Trigger analysis when pushing in master or pull requests, and when creating
# a pull request.
push:
branches:
- master
pull_request:
types: [opened, synchronize, reopened]
name: Main Workflow

- name: SonarCloud Scan
uses: sonarsource/sonarcloud-github-action@master
env:

SONAR_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}
You can change the analysis base directory by using the optional input projectBaseDir
like this:
uses: sonarsource/sonarcloud-github-action@master
with:
projectBaseDir: my-custom-directory
In case you need to add additional analysis parameters, you can use the args
option:
- name: Analyze with SonarCloud
uses: sonarsource/sonarcloud-github-action@master
with:
projectBaseDir: my-custom-directory
args: >
-Dsonar.organization=my-organization
-Dsonar.projectKey=my-projectkey
-Dsonar.python.coverage.reportPaths=coverage.xml
-Dsonar.sources=lib/
-Dsonar.test.exclusions=tests/**
-Dsonar.tests=tests/
-Dsonar.verbose=true
More information about possible analysis parameters is found in the documentation at: https://sonarcloud.io/documentation/analysis/analysis-parameters/
SONAR_TOKEN
– Required this is the token used to authenticate access to SonarCloud. You can generate a token on your Security page in SonarCloud. You can set theSONAR_TOKEN
environment variable in the "Secrets" settings page of your repository.GITHUB_TOKEN
– Provided by Github (see Authenticating with the GITHUB_TOKEN).
- Your code is built with Maven: run 'org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar' during the build
- Your code is built with Gradle: use the SonarQube plugin for Gradle during the build
- You want to analyze a .NET solution: Follow our interactive tutorial for Github Actions after importing your project directly in SonarCloud
- You want to analyze C/C++ code: rely on our Travis-CI extension and look at our sample C/C++ project
- You want to analyze C/C++/Objective-C code on
windows-latest
