SonarQube Plugin for Objective C

This repository hosts the Objective-C plugin for SonarQube. This plugin enables to analyze and track the quality of iOS (iPhone, iPad) and MacOS developments.

This plugin is not supported by SonarSource. SonarSource offers a commercial SonarSource Objective-C plugin as well. Both plugins do not offer the same functionalities/support.

The development of this plugin has always been done thanks to the community. If you wish to contribute, check the Contributing wiki page.

###Prerequisites

• a Mac with Xcode...
• SonarQube and SonarQube Runner installed (HomeBrew installed and brew install sonar-runner)
• xctool (HomeBrew installed and brew install xctool). If you are using Xcode 6, make sure to update xctool (brew upgrade xctool) to a version > 0.2.2.
• OCLint installed. Version 0.8.1 recommended (HomeBrew installed and brew install https://gist.githubusercontent.com/TonyAnhTran/e1522b93853c5a456b74/raw/157549c7a77261e906fb88bc5606afd8bd727a73/oclint.rb).
• gcovr installed

###Installation (once for all your Objective-C projects)

• Install the plugin through the Update Center (of SonarQube) or download it into the $SONARQUBE_HOME/extensions/plugins directory
• Copy run-sonar.sh somewhere in your PATH
• Restart the SonarQube server.

###Configuration (once per project)

• Copy sonar-project.properties in your Xcode project root folder (along your .xcodeproj file)
• Edit the sonar-project.properties file to match your Xcode iOS/MacOS project

The good news is that you don't have to modify your Xcode project to enable SonarQube!. Ok, there might be one needed modification if you don't have a specific scheme for your test target, but that's all.

###Analysis

• Run the script run-sonar.sh in your Xcode project root folder
• Enjoy or file an issue!

###Update (once per plugin update)

• Install the latest plugin version
• Copy run-sonar.sh somewhere in your PATH

If you still have run-sonar.sh file in each of your project (not recommended), you will need to update all those files.
