Android: run sonarRunner from gradle

Question

I'm stuck trying to get a sonar report to run with an Android gradle project. Since most of the important sonar properties are only applied by the sonarRunner gradle plugin when the project is a java project, I am having problems applying them to the com.android.application project.

This is my sonarRunner configuration:

 sonarRunner { sonarProperties { property "sonar.sourceEncoding", "UTF-8" property "sonar.profile", "Android Lint" property "sonar.sources", android.sourceSets.main.java.srcDirs property "sonar.binaries", file("${project.buildDir}/intermediates/classes/app") property "sonar.libraries", "" // what to put here? } } 

The problem is that the sonar complains that the classes were not found, because libraries cannot be referenced.

How can I reference android dependencies + libraries in my sonarRunner configuration?

Answer 1

I have a solution that works for my multi-project Gradle build:

 subprojects.each { p -> sonarRunner { sonarProperties { // ... some settings omitted ... property p.name + '.sonar.java.binaries', p.sourceSets.main.output.classesDir property p.name + '.sonar.java.libraries', p.sourceSets.test.runtimeClasspath.filter { File f -> f.exists() } } } } 

note that

• I use the class libraries of the trajectories of the test run because we have an area of ​​the provided compilation area that will not be taken into account in the path to the main runtime.
• Sonar-runner complains if the library settings contain directories that do not exist (for example, since the module does not have src / main / resources)
• sonar.java.libraries used because for me it does not work with sonar.libraries .

I think you just need to set the library property manually with the correct configuration. Something like that:

 sonarRunner { sonarProperties { property "sonar.sourceEncoding", "UTF-8" property "sonar.profile", "Android Lint" property "sonar.sources", android.sourceSets.main.java.srcDirs property "sonar.binaries", file("${project.buildDir}/intermediates/classes/app") property "sonar.libraries", "android.sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath" } } 

Or what your correct dependency configuration is right.
