sonar-break-maven-plugin

A maven plugin that will fail a maven build if sonar reports errors with your project. Tested with SonarQube 5.2 through 6.2.

Maven

To include in your project, update your pom.xml with the following:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.github.sgoertzen</groupId>
        <artifactId>sonarbreak</artifactId>
        <version>1.2.2</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>com.github.sgoertzen</groupId>
            <artifactId>sonarbreak</artifactId>
            <version>1.2.2</version>
            <configuration>
                <sonarServer>https://sonar.yourserver.com</sonarServer>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Optional parameters

There are two optional parameters that can be used with this plugin.

• sonarLookBackSeconds: How far into the past the plugin should into sonar for the results of this build (default: 60)
• waitForProcessingSeconds: How long to wait for sonar to finish processing the job (default: 300)

These parameter goes into the configuration section so the build piece of your pom.xml would look like:

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>com.github.sgoertzen</groupId>
            <artifactId>sonarbreak</artifactId>
            <version>1.2.2</version>
            <configuration>
                <sonarServer>https://sonar.yourserver.com</sonarServer>
                <sonarLookBackSeconds>60</sonarLookBackSeconds>
                <waitForProcessingSeconds>600</waitForProcessingSeconds>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

You must also have the sonar plugin installed:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>sonar-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.7.1</version>
</plugin>

Then run maven using the command:

mvn sonar:sonar sonar-break:sonar-break

Details:

• sonar:sonar - This will execute the sonar task to push the code up to sonar
• sonar-break:sonar-break - This will execute this plugin, which will communicate with your sonar server and will break the build if an error is found.

Development

Build

You can build and run the tests

mvn clean package

Integration Tests

mvn clean install exec:exec -Dmaven.signing.skip=true

Integration Test Details:

• Downloads and runs a sonar server
• Builds test poms and pushes the results into sonar
• Tests this plugin by fetching the sonar status

Skip Signing

If you run "mvn verify" or "mvn install" it will attempt to sign the output using gpg. Just pass "-Dmaven.signing.skip=true" into maven to skip this plugin. Example: "mvn clean install exec:exec -Dmaven.signing.skip=true"
