Features

The Sonar Runner is recommended as the default launcher to analyze a project with Sonar.

Prerequisites

• Java 1.5 6 or higher

Installation

1. Uncompress the downloaded file into a directory named $SONAR_RUNNER_HOME in the next steps.
    

2. Update the global settings (database connection, server URL) by editing the file $SONAR_RUNNER_HOME/conf/sonar-runner.properties

   Code Block
   language bash
   #----- Default Sonar server #sonar.host.url=http://localhost:9000 #----- PostgreSQL #sonar.jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost/sonar #sonar.jdbc.driver=org.postgresql.Driver #----- MySQL #sonar.jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sonar?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8 #sonar.jdbc.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver #----- Oracle #sonar.jdbc.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost/XE #sonar.jdbc.driver=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver #----- Global database settings #sonar.jdbc.username=sonar #sonar.jdbc.password=sonar #----- Default directory layout #sonar.sources=src/main/java #sonar.tests=src/test/java #sonar.binaries=target/classes

    

    

3. Create a new SONAR_RUNNER_HOME environment variable set to $SONAR_RUNNER_HOME.
    
4. Add the $SONAR_RUNNER_HOME/bin directory to your path.
    

5. You can check the basic installation by opening a new shell and executing the command 'sonar-runner -h' (on windows platform the command is 'sonar-runner.bat -h') . You should get a message like this :

   Code Block
   usage: sonar-runner [options] Options: -h,--help Display help information -X,--debug Produce execution debug output -D,--define <arg> Define property

...

You are now ready to analyze a project with the Sonar Runner.
