Compatibility Matrix

All SCM providers currently require the native executable to be installed on the server where the SonarQube^TM analysis will run. For example, for projects hosted on a Subversion repository and analysed on a Jenkins server, svn executable must be available on the Jenkins server (and its slaves if any).

Features

This plugin collects SCM information on each source file to display in the source code viewer the last committer on lines.

Installation

1. Install the plugin through the Update Center or download it into the SONARQUBE_HOME/extensions/plugins directory
2. Restart the SonarQube^TM server

Usage

Configuring the SCM Activity Plugin

1. Set the SCM URL of your project (see SCM URL Format): sonar.scm.url properties. For Git, SVN and Mercurial, the SCM provider is automatically discovered, so what's defined in this property is not taken into account.

2. At project level, go to Configuration > Settings > SCM Activity and specify User (sonar.scm.user.secured) and Password (sonar.scm.password.secured) if needed; if specified then developerConnection will be used, otherwise connection.
3. Launch a new quality analysis and the metrics will be fed.

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.

See http://git-scm.com/docs/git-blame#_mapping_authors

I use Git and the annotated sources sometimes display "Not Committed Yet"

In case you have set the parameter autocrlf to "true" or "input" and source file was previously committed with Windows line endings then git blame will report each line as "Not Committed Yet" as an indication that the file will be normalized to Unix line endings in case you do a modification and a commit on the same file.

The simplest workaround is to always set autocrlf to "false" on the box doing the SonarQube^TM analysis.

Additional configuration for Perforce

You have to set an additional parameter to define the Perforce client name while running your analysis: maven.scm.perforce.clientspec.name

sonar-runner -Dmaven.scm.perforce.clientspec.name=myPerforceClientName
