Tinkering with SonarQube for code-scanning shell scripts ...

I'm having a very quick tinker with a tool called SonarQube for code quality scanning.

One of my colleagues had asked whether SQ can scan scripts e.g. Bash, which made me go "Hmmmm" and start to play ...

As you'd expect, I started with a Docker container: -

docker pull sonarqube

docker run -d --name sonarqube -e SONAR_ES_BOOTSTRAP_CHECKS_DISABLE=true -p 9000:9000 sonarqube:latest

which is the bare minimum for getting SQ running, with the internal port 9000 mapped to the host port 9000.

I then hit my Linux virtual server on that port: -

http://10.0.0.10:9000/about

and logged in.

I cribbed the above from the Getting Started guide on the SQ website, and got to a point where I had a project setup, ready for scanning ....

I then downloaded the SQ scanning tool ( for my Linux box ) : -

wget https://binaries.sonarsource.com/Distribution/sonar-scanner-cli/sonar-scanner-cli-4.5.0.2216-linux.zip

and extracted it: -

mkdir -p /sonarqube
cd /sonarqube
unzip ~/sonar-scanner-cli-4.5.0.2216-linux.zip 

and added SQ to my PATH: -

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$GOPATH/bin:/root/sonarqube/sonar-scanner-4.5.0.2216-linux/bin

I had previously created a dummy "app" comprising a Dockerfile, a Go module and a Bash script: -

cd ~/Dave

ls -al

total 4032
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root    4096 Oct  6 13:23 .
drwx------ 12 root root    4096 Oct  6 13:21 ..
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 2068291 Oct  4 16:34 Dave
-rw-r--r--  1 root root     121 Oct  4 16:36 Dockerfile
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 2034794 Oct  4 16:44 hello
-rw-r--r--  1 root root      76 Oct  4 16:34 hello.go
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root      32 Oct  6 13:21 hello.sh

so I was then able to run a scan: -

sonar-scanner   -Dsonar.projectKey=dave_test   -Dsonar.sources=.   -Dsonar.host.url=http://10.0.0.10:9000   -Dsonar.login=hah82889fhqwhabe9173283

and a scan magically appeared in the SQ web UI: -


However, I did notice this message down on the right-hand side: -

Quality Profile: Use 'ShellCheck' (Shell)

which led me to ShellCheck and sonar-shellcheck and yet more shellcheck ..

I installed the Plugin on the SQ server: -



but was still seeing the same "warning"

Only then did I realise that I was missing something on the "client" side i.e. from where I'm running the actual SQ scan.

I installed the requisite binary: -

apt-get install shellcheck

which shellcheck

shellcheck --version

ShellCheck - shell script analysis tool
version: 0.4.6
license: GNU General Public License, version 3
website: http://www.shellcheck.net

and re-ran the scan, which reported, in part: -

and now my scan looks lovely: -


Yay!
