Gerrit Integration for Sonar

This is a sonar plugin that reports to gerrit if any alerts/warnings were fired during sonar analysis.

You need to setup the alerts/warnings in sonar's quality profile.

Installation

Simply copy the plugin to extensions/plugins directory and configure it in the general setting section then restart sonar.

You need to setup the passwordless connection to gerrit using public/private key so that sonar can communicate with gerrit.

You need to setup a user (recommended name: "sonar") in gerrit and use the public key for that user.

Configuration of Projects

The plugin needs some variables to determine what change to mark in gerrit:

gerrit.project - name of the project in gerrit

gerrit.change - the change number

gerrit.patch - the patch number

These parameters have to be passed to sonar with the analysis

If you use maven just run

mvn sonar:sonar -Dgerrit.project=projectname -Dgerrit.change=changenumber -Dgerrit.patch=patchnumber

If you use jenkins configure the sonar plugin so that these variables are set.

Just install the gerrit trigger plugin and use the

$GERRIT_PROJECT

$GERRIT_CHANGE_NUMBER

$GERRIT_PATCHSET_NUMBER

variables to specify maven parameters

Build environment

If you want to build from sources or modify the sonar gerrit-integration-plugin, you should start by clone it from github.

To run the unit tests, a gerrit install must be available at host localhost, port 29418, and the account sonar created on it, and authorized with ssh. The project assumes that the ssh private key for the user sonar is stored at ~/.ssh/id_rsa_sonar.

$ ssh_keygen -C "Sonar bot" -t rsa -f  ~/.ssh/id_rsa_sonar
$ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa_sonar.pub | ssh -p 29418 sgala@localhost gerrit create-account sonar \
         --email sgala@apache.org --full-name "Sonar\ bot" --group "Non-Interactive\ Users" --ssh-key -

If all is well,

$ mvn verify

will now build and test the project with no test failing.

This very project can be installed in the local gerrit for testings by doing:

$ cd ${gerrit_install}/git
$ git clone --bare git@github.com:<user>/gerrit-intergation-plugin.git gerrit-integration-plugin.git
$ bin/gerrit.sh restart

should be either @spafcio@ or, better, your own github user after you have forked the project there.
