# Scan your code with SonarQube
Using this GitHub Action, scan your code with [SonarQube](https://www.sonarqube.org/) to detects Bugs, Vulnerabilities and Code Smells in more than 27 programming languages!
<img src="./images/SonarQube-72px.png">
SonarQube is the leading product for Continuous Code Quality & Code Security. It supports most popular programming languages, including Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, C#, Python, C, C++, and many more.
## Requirements
The repository to analyze is set up on SonarQube.
## Usage
Project metadata, including the location to the sources to be analyzed, must be declared in the file `sonar-project.properties` in the base directory:
```properties
sonar.projectKey=<replace with the key generated when setting up the project on SonarQube>
# relative paths to source directories. More details and properties are described
# in https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/project-administration/narrowing-the-focus/
sonar.sources=.
```
The workflow, usually declared in `.github/workflows/build.yml`, looks like:
```yaml
on:
# Trigger analysis when pushing in master or pull requests, and when creating
# a pull request.
push:
branches:
- master
pull_request:
types: [opened, synchronize, reopened]
name: Main Workflow
jobs:
sonarqube:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
# Disabling shallow clone is recommended for improving relevancy of reporting
fetch-depth: 0
- name: SonarQube Scan
uses: sonarsource/sonarqube-scan-action@master
env:
SONAR_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}
SONAR_HOST_URL: ${{ secrets.SONAR_HOST_URL }}
```
You can change the analysis base directory by using the optional input `projectBaseDir` like this:
```yaml
uses: sonarsource/sonarqube-scan-action@master
with:
projectBaseDir: app/src
```
In case you need to add additional analysis parameters, you can use the `args` option:
```yaml
- name: Analyze with SonarQube
uses: sonarsource/sonarqube-scan-action@master
with:
projectBaseDir: app/src
args: >
-Dsonar.projectKey=my-projectkey
-Dsonar.python.coverage.reportPaths=coverage.xml
-Dsonar.sources=lib/
-Dsonar.test.exclusions=tests/**
-Dsonar.tests=tests/
-Dsonar.verbose=true
```
More information about possible analysis parameters can be found in [the documentation](https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/analysis/analysis-parameters/).
### Environment variables
- `SONAR_TOKEN` **Required** this is the token used to authenticate access to SonarQube. You can read more about security tokens [here](https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/user-guide/user-token/). You should set the `SONAR_TOKEN` environment variable in the "Secrets" settings page of your repository.
- `SONAR_HOST_URL` **Required** this tells the scanner where SonarQube is hosted. You can set the `SONAR_HOST_URL` environment variable in the "Secrets" settings page of your repository.
