NPM module to run SonarQube analyses

sonarqube-scanner makes it very easy to trigger SonarQube analyses on a JavaScript code base, without needing to install any specific tool or (Java) runtime.

This module is analyzed on SonarCloud using itself:

• See the Gulp file
• See the analysis results on SonarCloud

Installation

This package is available on npm as: sonarqube-scanner

npm install sonarqube-scanner

Usage

The following example shows how to run a SonarQube analysis on a JavaScript project using Gulp, and pushing the results to SonarCloud, the online SonarQube service:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var sonarqubeScanner = require('sonarqube-scanner');

gulp.task('default', function(callback) {
  sonarqubeScanner({
    serverUrl : "https://sonarcloud.io",
    token : "019d1e2e04eefdcd0caee1468f39a45e69d33d3f",
    options : {}
  }, callback);
});

Syntax: sonarqube-scanner ( parameters, [callback] )

Arguments

• parameters Map
  • serverUrl String (optional) The URL of the SonarQube server. Defaults to http://localhost:9000
  • token String (optional) The token used to connect to the SonarQube server. Empty by default.
  • options Map (optional) Used to pass extra parameters for the SonarQube analysis. See the official documentation for more details.

FAQ

I constantly get "Impossible to download and extract binary [...] In such situation, the best solution is to install the standard SonarQube Scanner", what can I do?

You can install manually the standard SonarQube Scanner, which requires to have a Java Runtime Environment available too (Java 8+). Once this is done, you can replace the 2nd line of the example by:

var sonarqubeScanner = require('sonarqube-scanner').customScanner;
