It integrates GoMetaLinter reports within SonarQube dashboard.

The user must generate a GoMetaLinter report for his code using the checkstyle format. The report is thus integrated to SonarQube using sonar-scanner.

Release 1.0 only provides golint support. Release 1.1 provides test coverage support. Upcoming releases will bring support for additional linters.

• Download the latest version of the artifact
• Stop sonarqube server
• Put the jar file in $SONAR_PATH/extensions/plugins
• Start sonarqube server

If you have already installed the plugin and you want to enable the new rules provided by the new version of the plugin, follow those steps after the installation:

• Go on the Quality Profiles page
• Click on the arrow near the "Create" button
• Click on "Restore Built-In Profiles"
• Choose the language (Go)
• Click on "Restore"

• create a sonar-project.properties file.

sonar.projectKey=yourprojectid
sonar.projectName=name of project
sonar.projectVersion=1.0
sonar.golint.reportPath=report.xml //default
sonar.coverage.reportPath=coverage.xml // default
sonar.coverage.dtdVerification=false // if you want disabled the DTD verification for a proxy problem for example 
sonar.test.reportPath=test.xml //default
sonar.sources=./

• start the analysis

sonar-scanner

It is assumed that you have the sonar scanner executable on your path and to run it at the root of your go project.

• install gometalinter

go get -u gopkg.in/alecthomas/gometalinter.v1
gometalinter.v1 --install

• Generate a gometalinter report using the checkstyle format:

gometalinter.v1 --checkstyle > report.xml

For coverage metrics you must have a coverage.xml (cobertura xml format) file per package.

• First install the tools for converting a coverprofile in cobertura file:

go get github.com/axw/gocov/...
go get github.com/AlekSi/gocov-xml

• Then for all packages execute those commands:

go test -coverprofile=cover.out
gocov convert cover.out | gocov-xml > coverage.xml

You must end-up with one coverage file per directory:

pkg1/coverage.xml
pkg2/coverage.xml
pkg3/coverage.xml
...

For test metrics you must generate a junit report file.

• install the tools:

go get -u github.com/jstemmer/go-junit-report

• run the tests from the root of your project:

go test -v ./... | go-junit-report > test.xml
