No results in Sonarqube from SonarLint analysis and connected Sonarqube

Question

I have configured IntelliJ with SonarLint to a connected SonarQube instance in AWS. I am able to run a code analysis in IntelliJ and I do get results back in IntelliJ.

But I want to have these results in Sonarqube. How to do this?

Answer 1

If you have Jenkins you should have 2 jobs: one to build application from branch, another to run SonarQube analysis based on artifacts created by first job (build job). You can create a pipeline: when you push to git (or other repository) first job automatically will be started, when build is done and it’s successful it will trigger job to analyze code in sonar. Try to find configuration examples at https://docs.sonar.org/ or I can send you tomorrow details how we configured our pipeline. P.S. forgot to mention that you need to install SonarQube plugin in Jenkins too.

SonarLint: this tool only open connection to your Sonar server just to get rules for analysis, but analysis is done on your side (localhost) without sending results to Sonar server back. This is how SonarLint works.

Answer 2

You should have a look on the documentation to see how to :

• Install SonarQube : https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Installing+the+Server
• Execute an analysis : https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SCAN
