SonarQube R

Uploading your R project lintr information into SonarQube. This can be used as a plugin, to insert R language issues with SonarQube scanner.

This repository is DEPRECATED.

The new repository will utilize the R programming language, eliminating the need for additional tech stacks like JavaScript and Node.js is available at:

• https://github.com/paulospx/sonarR

This transition is motivated by several factors:

• Enhanced Performance: The R programming language is well-suited for data analysis and statistical computing, offering significant performance advantages for [project name].
• Reduced Dependencies: By adopting R, we can streamline our development process and reduce the complexity of managing multiple tech stacks.
• Ease of Maintenance: R is a widely used language with a large and active community, making it easier to maintain and extend the repository.

We understand that this change may require some adjustments to your development workflow. However, we are confident that the benefits of adopting R will outweigh any initial challenges.

Dependencies

You need to have the following

• R (tested with version 4.0.3).

You need to have the following R libraries:

• lintr
• devtools
• roxygen2

Usage

Install lintr packages and R.

Rscript -e 'install.packages("lintr")'
Rscript -e 'install.packages("devtools")'
Rscript -e 'install.packages("roxygen2")'

To generate the file lintr_out.json execute the command:

rscript .\run_lintr.R

The lintr generates a json file lintr_out.json with the issues found on your code. This format is not compatible with SonarQube and needs to follow the format:

• https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/analysis/generic-issue/

So that Sonar Scanner is able to import the issues to SonarQube.

Issue fields description for Sonar.

• engineId - string
• ruleId - string
• primaryLocation - Location object
• type - string. One of BUG, VULNERABILITY, CODE_SMELL
• severity - string. One of BLOCKER, CRITICAL, MAJOR, MINOR, INFO
• effortMinutes - integer, optional. Defaults to 0
• secondaryLocations - array of Location objects, optional

The mapping table is used to generate issue type, effort and severity required to ingest the information into SonarQube.

Translating from lintr json into SonarQube json format can be done online via in this site:

• https://paulospx.github.io/sonarqube-r/

Save the converted json as the lintr_out.json .

Add the following line to your sonar-project.properties file:

sonar.externalIssuesReportPaths=lintr_sonar_out.json

Execute sonar-scanner to upload the issues to SonarQube server.

Enjoy.
