This repository is used for testing sonarqube task.

The only prerequisite for running SonarQube is to have Java (Oracle JRE 8 or OpenJDK 8) installed on your machine. https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Requirements

1. LTS version of Sonarqube. https://www.sonarqube.org/downloads/
2. SonarQube-scanner based on your platform. https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SCAN/Analyzing with SonarQube Scanner

1. Once SonarQube-scanner is downloaded, add below two properties in sonar-scanner.properties:

   #----- Default SonarQube server
   sonar.host.url=http://localhost:9500
   
   #----- Default source code encoding
   sonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8
   

   sonar-scanner.properties can get under location <path_of_sonarqube_scanner/<choose_platform/conf> For e.g. ~/Documents/software/sonar-scanner-3.2.0.1227-macosx/conf

2. Create a sonar-project.properties file in root location of your nodejs app.

3. Add below configuration properties in above created file:

   # required metdata
   sonar.projectKey=<preferrable_node_app_name>
   sonar.projectVersion=<version>
   sonar.sourceEncoding=<source code encoding>
   
   # path to srouce directories
   sonar.sources=<your_node_app_folder_name>
   
   # excludes
   sonar.exclusions=<files or folder which you want to exclude>
   
   # coverage reporting
   sonar.javascript.lcov.reportPaths=<code coverage location>
   

   Note: These are required for sonar-scanner to analyaze and generate the report accordingly.

Go to SonarQube's downloaded location, and run below command:
```
~<path>/sonarqube-6.7.5/bin/macosx-universal-64 $ ./snoar.sh --help
```
`For e.g.: ~/Documents/software/sonarqube-6.7.5/bin/macosx-universal-64 $ ./sonar.sh --start`

Got to root directory of your project folder where you have created the `sonar-projects.properties` file and run the below command:
```
~<root path of your project> $ sonar-scanner
```
`For e.g. ~/Documents/learning/sonarqube $ sonar-scanner`

1. Get the host url which you have set in the configuration and try accessing it.
2. Default username and password is: admin/admin For e.g. http://localhost:9500/dashboard?id=<project_key>
