Add SonarCloud analysis workflow - #325
Conversation
This workflow triggers a SonarCloud analysis of the code and populates GitHub Code Scanning alerts with vulnerabilities found. It includes steps for setting up the analysis and necessary configurations.
WalkthroughAdds a SonarCloud GitHub Actions workflow. The workflow runs on pushes and pull requests targeting ChangesSonarCloud analysis
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new SonarCloud workflow is currently unlikely to produce a valid analysis because it does not retrieve the repository source, lacks required project identity settings, and is not configured for the Maven multi-module build. These bounded CI integration issues should be fixed before merging. Poem

sonar.projectKey and sonar.organization, either in the workflow’s SonarScanner
args or in sonar-project.properties, so the analysis is associated with the
intended project.
- Around line 38-50: Add a pinned actions/checkout step before the
SonarSource/sonarcloud-github-action step in the Analysis job, and extend the
workflow permissions to grant contents: read alongside pull-requests: read.
Preserve the existing pinned SonarCloud action.
- Around line 46-50: Replace the SonarCloud GitHub Action step in the “Analyze
with SonarCloud” workflow job with a Maven command that runs verify and the
Sonar Maven plugin against the complete reactor: mvn -B verify
org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:sonar. Remove the archived
action reference while preserving the existing workflow context and required
Sonar environment configuration.

SonarSource sonarcloud-github-action README checkout projectBaseDir permissions contents read
💡 Result:
To use the SonarCloud GitHub Action effectively, here is the synthesis regarding projectBaseDir and GITHUB_TOKEN permissions: projectBaseDir The projectBaseDir input is an optional parameter used to specify the base directory for analysis [1][2]. By default, the action looks for the sonar-project.properties file in the root of the repository [1][3]. If your project metadata or source code resides in a subdirectory (e.g., in a monorepo setup), you can override this by providing the path to that directory [1][3]. Example configuration: - uses: sonarsource/sonarcloud-github-action@ with: projectBaseDir: app/src Note that SonarSource has transitioned to using sonarqube-scan-action for most modern use cases [3][4]. If you encounter a "Container action is only supported on Linux" error, you should migrate from the older sonarcloud-github-action to the newer sonarqube-scan-action [3]. GITHUB_TOKEN Permissions While the SonarCloud scan itself requires a SONAR_TOKEN, the GITHUB_TOKEN is used by the action to interact with GitHub, specifically to retrieve pull request information and decorate PRs with analysis results [5]. To allow SonarCloud to perform PR decoration, the GITHUB_TOKEN requires read access to pull requests [5]. In your GitHub Actions workflow, you should explicitly define these permissions: permissions: pull-requests: read contents: read # Often required by actions/checkout to read repository code [3][5] If your workflow requires broader access for other steps, using permissions: read-all is a convenient alternative [5]. Ensure these permissions are set at either the job level or the workflow level, depending on your requirements [5].

Check out the repository before the scan.
The job has no actions/checkout step, so the SonarCloud action cannot analyze the repository source files or sonar-project.properties. Add a pinned actions/checkout step before the SonarCloud action. Also grant contents: read, because the explicit permissions block otherwise prevents checkout from reading the repository.

SonarSource sonarcloud-github-action archived repository Maven projects SonarScanner for Maven
💡 Result:
The SonarSource/sonarcloud-github-action repository has been deprecated and archived by SonarSource [1][2]. Users are advised to transition to the official sonarqube-scan-action [1][3]. For Maven projects, SonarSource explicitly recommends using the SonarScanner for Maven (org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin) rather than the wrapper GitHub action [4][3][5]. The SonarScanner for Maven is designed to be executed directly as a Maven goal within your CI pipeline, making it portable across different environments without requiring a specific GitHub Action wrapper [6][7]. To analyze a Maven project in GitHub Actions, you should configure your workflow to run the Maven goal directly [5]. A typical configuration in your .github/workflows/build.yml would look like this: - name: Build and analyze env: SONAR_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }} run: mvn -B verify org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:sonar This approach leverages the project information already present in your pom.xml, minimizing the need for additional manual configuration [6][7]. Ensure that you have properly configured the SONAR_TOKEN as a GitHub Secret [6][5]. For multi-module projects, it is recommended to run the goal as a dedicated step after the build/install step [7].

Use the Maven scanner for this Maven reactor.
pom.xml defines base and app modules. Replace the archived SonarSource/sonarcloud-github-action step with mvn -B verify org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:sonar so Maven analyzes the complete reactor.

SonarSource sonarcloud-github-action sonar.projectKey sonar.organization mandatory SonarScanner CLI documentation
💡 Result:
Yes, sonar.projectKey and sonar.organization are mandatory parameters for identifying your project and organization when using the SonarCloud GitHub Action and the SonarScanner CLI [1][2][3][4]. These properties must be defined to ensure the scanner can correctly map your analysis results to the appropriate project in SonarQube Cloud [5][3]. You can provide these mandatory parameters in two primary ways: 1. sonar-project.properties file: It is standard practice to declare these properties in a sonar-project.properties file located in the base directory of your project [1][2][3]. Example format: sonar.organization=your-organization-key sonar.projectKey=your-project-key 2. Command line arguments or Action configuration: - For the SonarCloud GitHub Action, if you prefer not to use the properties file, you can pass these parameters via the args input in your workflow YAML [1][2]. Example: - uses: sonarsource/sonarcloud-github-action@ with: args: > -Dsonar.organization=your-organization-key -Dsonar.projectKey=your-project-key - For the SonarScanner CLI, you can define them directly in your command execution using the -D flag (e.g., -Dsonar.projectKey=my-project) [6][3][4]. Note that environment variables (e.g., SONAR_PROJECT_KEY) are often ineffective for these specific properties because the SonarScanner expects them as configuration properties rather than generic environment variables [7]. Always ensure your projectBaseDir is correctly set if your properties file is not in the root directory, as the scanner resolves file paths relative to the execution directory [6][3][4].

Set the SonarCloud project identity.
The workflow passes empty sonar.projectKey and sonar.organization values, and sonar-project.properties does not define them. SonarScanner requires both properties to associate the analysis with a SonarCloud project. Set both values in the workflow or in sonar-project.properties.
