Usage & Installation
- Install from Update Center or download the JAR into the directory /extensions/plugins/
- Restart Sonar
Define the SCM URL of your project (see SCM URL Format).
Example for Maven pom.xml:<scm> <connection>scm:svn:http://svn.codehaus.org/sonar-plugins/trunk/scm-activity</connection> <developerConnection>scm:svn:https://svn.codehaus.org/sonar-plugins/trunk/scm-activity</developerConnection> <url>http://svn.sonar-plugins.codehaus.org</url> </scm>
Or you can use Project Setting - SCM URL.
Or specify it via propertysonar.scm.url
.- Go to
Global/Project Settings
- Enable the plugin. This plugin is disabled by default, because it can dramatically increase analysis time of your project.
- Specify User (
sonar.scm.user.secured
) and Password (sonar.scm.password.secured
) if needed; if specified thendeveloperConnection
will be used, otherwiseconnection
- Launch a new quality analysis and the metrics will be fed
Performance
The first analysis of a project with version 1.4 will last longer than the subsequent analyses.
Known problems and limitations
Subversion "Server certificate verification failed: issuer is not trusted"
Add following to .subversion/servers
:
[global] ssl-authority-files = /path/certificate.crt ssl-trust-default-ca = yes
CVS anonymous access not working "org.apache.maven.scm.ScmException: password is required."
Try to set empty password for repository in .cvspass
. For example:
/1 :pserver:anonymous@javacaltools.cvs.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/javacaltools A
I use Git and the annotated sources sometimes display a wrong/old author name
The plugin uses 'git blame
' command to find out the author of each line. Because a user can commit with different author name/email, it is advised to have a .mailmap
file at the root of the repository. This file is used by 'git blame
' to find out canonical name/email of each user.
