Features

The SonarQubeRunner is recommended as the default launcher to analyze a project with SonarQube.

Prerequisites

• Java 6 or higher

Installation

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

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

   #----- Default SonarQube server #sonar.host.url=http://localhost:9000 #----- PostgreSQL #sonar.jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost/sonar #----- MySQL #sonar.jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sonar?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8 #----- Oracle #sonar.jdbc.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost/XE #----- Oracle #sonar.jdbc.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost/XE #----- Microsoft SQLServer #sonar.jdbc.url=jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://localhost/sonar;SelectMethod=Cursor #----- Global database settings #sonar.jdbc.username=sonar #sonar.jdbc.password=sonar

    

    

3. Create a new SONAR_RUNNER_HOME environment variable set to $SONARQUBE_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:

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

If you need more debug information you can add the sonar.verbose property by adding the command line parameter -Dsonar.verbose=true.

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