Environment variables

Run the following commands with the same user that will run sonar-runner

_$: export SONAR_RUNNER_HOME=/etc/sonar-runner
_$: export PATH=$PATH:$SONAR_RUNNER_HOME/bin
_$: env | grep PATH
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/etc/sonar-runner/bin

Code analysis

In one of Jenkins’ project, for instance, project_git create a file called sonar-project.properties.

/home/jenkins/.jenkins/jobs/taloki_git/workspace/sonar-project.properties:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Required metadata
sonar.projectKey=taloki
sonar.projectName=taloki
sonar.projectVersion=1.0

#path to files where to start analyzing.
sonar.sources=taloki

# Encoding of the source code
sonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8

sonar.language=py

If you haven’t already, export the environment variables:

_$: export SONAR_RUNNER_HOME=/etc/sonar-runner
_$: export PATH=$PATH:$SONAR_RUNNER_HOME/bin

Run sonar-runner:

_$: cd /home/jenkins/.jenkins/jobs/taloki_git/workspace
_$: sonar-runner

Go to http://localhost:9000/dashboard/index/project and check that it is ok.
