SonarQube is now a real reviewer! SonarQube Stash (BitBucket) plugin is a pull-request decorator which allows to integrate SonarQube violations directly into your pull-request.

After every run, in addition of the diff view, you may access to an overview of your SQ analysis:

• Git client to checkout the code
• Maven 3.0.5
• JDK 1.7
• SonarQube 4.5.4 (LTS)
• Stash (BitBucket) 3.x

This command generates a jar file.

mvn clean install

Just copy the sonar-stash-plugin jar file to the plugin folder of the expected SonarQube server and restart the SonarQube server. For instance, on Linux platform:

~> cp target/sonar-stash-plugin-1.0.jar $SONARQUBE_HOME/extensions/plugins

Go to Stash general settings screen on SonarQube server to fill:

Stash base URL (sonar.stash.url): To define Stash instance.

Stash base user (sonar.stash.login): To define user to push violations on Stash pull-request. User must have REPO_READ permission for the repository. Please notice Stash password needs to be provided to sonar-runner through sonar.stash.password in commandline.

Stash issue threshold (sonar.stash.issue.threshold): To limit the number of issue pushed to Stash.

Stash timeout (sonar.stash.timeout): To timeout when Stash Rest api does not replied with expected.

Stash reviewer approval (sonar.stash.reviewer.approval): SonarQube is able to approve the pull-request if there is no new issue introduced by the change. By default, this feature is deactivated: if activated, Stash base user must have REPO_WRITE permission for the repositories.

Stash tasks severity threshold (sonar.stash.task.issue.severity.threshold): SonarQube is able to create tasks for all issues with a severity higher to the threshold. By default, this feature is deactivated (threshold: NONE).

To activate the plugin, just add the following options to SonarQube launcher (for instance with sonar-runner):

sonar-runner -Dsonar.analysis.mode=incremental -Dsonar.stash.notification -Dsonar.stash.project=<PROJECT> -Dsonar.stash.repository=<REPO> -Dsonar.stash.pullrequest.id=<PR_ID> -Dsonar.stash.password=<STASH_PASSWORD>...

If needed, you can reset comments published during the previous SonarQube analysis of your pull-request. Please add sonar.stash.comments.reset option to your SonarQube analysis. Please notice only comments linked to the sonar.stash.login user will be deleted. This reset will be the first action performed by the plugin.

sonar-runner -Dsonar.analysis.mode=incremental -Dsonar.stash.notification -Dsonar.stash.comments.reset -Dsonar.stash.project=<PROJECT> -Dsonar.stash.repository=<REPO> -Dsonar.stash.pullrequest.id=<PR_ID> -Dsonar.stash.password=<STASH_PASSWORD>...
