Android SonarQube Project

by Romell Domínguez

First, we need to configure the grade variables of Test project

The test unit cases had worked with SonarQube Framework

Install SonarQube

Add maven repository of sonarqube and the classpath into gradle-project with:

maven {
        url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
}
classpath "org.sonarsource.scanner.gradle:sonarqube-gradle-plugin:2.3"

On App module, apply jacoco plugin to generate test report, whitch is going to upload in Sonar services:

apply plugin: "org.sonarqube"

apply plugin: 'jacoco'
jacoco {
    toolVersion = "0.7.5.201505241946"
}

Configure Android Project

Creating a task for geneate a jacoco format report with gradle. Worked with flavors into Android projects:

task jacocoTestReport(type: JacocoReport, dependsOn: ['testDebugUnitTest', 'createDebugCoverageReport'])

Also we need create a task for connection with the sonar, thats some properties:

• projectKey: name key of project reporting into sonar, that key its use for track next releases
• url: ruta de la ubicación del repositorio del sonarQube

sonarqube {
    properties {
        ...
        property "sonar.projectKey", "sonar_qube_sample"
        property "sonar.projectName", "SonarQube Sample Ver. 1"
        property "sonar.projectVersion", "1.0.f"
        property "sonar.host.url", "http://localhost:9000"
        ...
    }
}

Now we config the tests: we enable the coverage testing, disable abort on error ‘check of code with problemas critics’, because these errors we will analyze it from the SonarQube, and finally we indicate that the reports should have the format jacoco.

android {
    buildTypes {
        debug {
            testCoverageEnabled = true
        }
    }
    lintOptions {
        abortOnError false
    }
    testOptions {
        unitTests.all {
            jacoco {
                includeNoLocationClasses = true
            }
        }
    }
}

The last configure for quickly and efficiency:

task exportTestRultToSonarqube(dependsOn: ['jacocoTestReport','sonarqube']){
}

SonarQube Server Instance

Deploying a Sonarqube service version 7.2, run sh command worked on Ubuntu and Mac, and exe on Windows:

sh sonar.sh start

On Web browers, look like:

On dashboard we look projects, issues, rules, quality metric, and more engineering features

If all components worked well, execute the test task, testing and send it with exportTestResultToSonarqube task:

./gradlew exportTestResultToSonarqube

When task over Cuando el task acabe tendremos la confirmación:

On dashboard, we look a new project analyzed

Into the project, Look four metric: count of bug, security vulnerabilities, percentage of testing coverage, and percentage of duplicate codes

We verificate the id project in url on web browser:

On Sonarqube project dashboard, thats look like:

Finally, if we need stop sonar service, run next sentence:

sh sonar.sh stop
