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:

Example iOS SonarQube dashboard

###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.
