SonarQube Plugin for Objective-C

This repository is a fork of the open source SonarQube Plugin for Objective-C. It provides modifications and extra features needed for our internal use.

A SonarQube 5.0 dashboard of the iOS open source project GreatReader:

Features

Feature	Supported	Details
Complexity	YES	Uses Lizard
Design	NO
Documentation	YES
Duplications	YES
Issues	YES	Uses OCLint: 71 rules, and Faux Pas: 102 rules
Size	YES
Tests	YES	Uses xctool, will probably switch to xcodebuild + xcpretty soon
Code coverage	YES	With gcovr for project before Xcode 7, otherwise slather

Compatibility

Releases available from this repository are compliant with SonarQube 4.3.x and above.

In order not to break compatibility with the original plugin, plugin releases are numbered with 4 digits.

Faux Pas support

Faux Pas is a wonderful tool to analyse iOS or Mac applications source code, however it is not free. A 30 trial version is available here.

The plugin runs fine even if Faux Pas is not installed (Faux Pas analysis will be skipped).

Download

Binary packages are available in the release section.

Prerequisites

a Mac with Xcode
SonarQube and SonarQube Runner installed (HomeBrew installed and brew install sonar-runner)
xcpretty (see instructions below)
xctool (HomeBrew installed and brew install xctool). If you are using Xcode 6, make sure to update xctool (brew upgrade xctool) to a version > 0.2.2.
OCLint installed. Version 0.11.0 recommended.
gcovr installed for legacy (pre Xcode 7 coverage)
slather (gem install slather). Version 2.1.0 or above.
lizard (PIP installed and sudo pip install lizard)
Faux Pas command line tools installed (optional)

Installation of xcpretty with JUnit reports fix

At the time, xcpretty needs to be fixed to work with SonarQube.

To install the fixed version, follow those steps :

git clone https://github.com/Backelite/xcpretty.git
cd xcpretty
git checkout fix/duration_of_failed_tests_workaround
gem build xcpretty.gemspec
sudo gem install --both xcpretty-0.2.2.gem

Code coverage data format

Since Xcode 7, Apple changed its coverage data format to a new format called 'profdata'. By default this format will be used by the plugin, except if you explicitly force it to legacy mode (for Xcode 6 and below) in your sonar-project.properties with this line:

sonar.objectivec.coverageType=legacy

Installation (once for all your Objective-C projects)

Download the plugin binary into the $SONARQUBE_HOME/extensions/plugins directory
Copy run-sonar.sh somewhere in your PATH
Restart the SonarQube server.

Configuration (once per project)

Copy sonar-project.properties in your Xcode project root folder (along your .xcodeproj file)
Edit the sonar-project.properties file to match your Xcode iOS/MacOS project

The good news is that you don't have to modify your Xcode project to enable SonarQube!. Ok, there might be one needed modification if you don't have a specific scheme for your test target, but that's all.

Analysis

Run the script run-sonar.sh in your Xcode project root folder
Enjoy or file an issue!

Update (once per plugin update)

Install the lastest plugin version
Copy run-sonar.sh somewhere in your PATH

If you still have run-sonar.sh file in each of your project (not recommended), you will need to update all those files.
