Sonarless v1.2

This developer-friendly CLI and GitHub Action enable SonarQube scanning for your repository without the need for a dedicated hosted SonarQube server. It starts a SonarQube Docker instance, allowing developers to scan code, check results, and generate a JSON metrics file for automation. This ensures you can easily assess and maintain the quality of your code.

Please open a new terminal, or run the following in the existing one:

    alias sonarless='/home/runner/.sonarless/makefile.sh' 

Then issue the following command:

    sonarless help

Enjoy!!!

To understand CLI sub-commands, just run sonarless help

Usually, you only need to know 2 sub-commands

sonarless scan: to start scanning your code in the current directory will be uploaded for scanning. When the scan is done, just login webui into your local personal instance of sonarqube via http://localhost:9234 to get details from SonarQube. The default password for admin is sonarless
sonarless results: to generate sonar-metrics.json metrics file in your current directory

To clean up your sonar instance, just run sonarless docker-clean. SonarQube docker instance will be stop and all images removed.

This CLI works perfectly with Github CodeSpace

      - name: Check Sonar Metrics - No Vulnerabilities
        run: |
          echo "Checking for any vulnerabilities in Sonar Metrics JSON"
          VULN=$(cat ./sonar-mymetrics.json | jq -r '.component.measures[] | select(.metric == "vulnerabilities").value')
          echo "# of vulnerabilities = ${VULN}"
          [ ${VULN} -eq "0" ]

Options to change local sonarqube server port

Just in case your local machine/GHA container need to use the default port of 9234

jobs:
  Sonarless-Scan:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Sonarless Scan
