How to integrate Sonar Quality Gates with Gitlab-CI

Question

I have a gitlab-ci integration that require a sonar analysis and if the quality gates pass, to build a docker image.

Is this possible using gitlab-ci ?

Answer 1

To break the CI build for a failed Quality Gate,

1.Search in /report-task.txt the values of the CE Task URL (ceTaskUrl) and CE Task Id (ceTaskId)

2.Call /api/ce/task?id=XXX where XXX is the CE Task Id retrieved from step 1 Ex:- https:///api/ce/task?id=Your ceTaskId

3.Wait for sometime until the status is SUCCESS, CANCELED or FAILED from Step 2

4.If it is FAILED, break the build (Here failure is unable to generate sonar report)

5.If successful,then Use the analysisId from the JSON returned by /api/ce/task? id=XXX(step2)and Immediately call /api/qualitygates/project_status?analysisId=YYY to check the status of the quality gate. Ex:- https:///api/qualitygates/project_status?analysisId=Your analysisId

6.Step 5 gives the status of the critical, major and minor error threshold limit

7.Based on the limit break the build.

8. Follow proper indentation while using the script

build:
  stage: build
  before_script:
   - yum -y install epel-release
   - yum -y install jq
   - yum install -y coreutils
  script:
    - mvn sonar:sonar -Dsonar.host.url=$SONAR_HOST_URL -Dsonar.login=$SONAR_LOGIN_TOKEN -Dsonar.working.directory=../target/.sonar
    - export url=$(cat ../target/.sonar/report-task.txt | grep ceTaskUrl | cut -c11- ) #URL where report gets stored
    - sleep 15s #Wait time for the report
    - curl -k -u "$SONAR_LOGIN_TOKEN":"" $url -o analysis.txt
    - export status=$(cat analysis.txt | jq -r '.task.status') #Status as SUCCESS, CANCELED or FAILED
    - export analysisId=$(cat analysis.txt | jq -r '.task.analysisId') #Get the analysis Id
    - |
      if [ "$status" == "SUCCESS" ];then 
        echo -e "SONAR ANALYSIS SUCCESSFUL...ANALYSING RESULTS";
        curl -k -u "$SONAR_LOGIN_TOKEN":"" https://yourSonarURI/api/qualitygates/project_status?analysisId=$analysisId -o result.txt; #Analysis result like critical, major and minor issues
        export result=$(cat result.txt | jq -r '.projectStatus.status');

        if [ "$result" == "ERROR" ];then
          echo -e "91mSONAR RESULTS FAILED";
          echo "$(cat result.txt | jq -r '.projectStatus.conditions')"; #prints the critical, major and minor violations
          exit 1 #breaks the build for violations
        else
          echo -e "SONAR RESULTS SUCCESSFUL";
          echo "$(cat result.txt | jq -r '.projectStatus.conditions')";
          exit 0 
        fi
    else 
        echo -e "\e[91mSONAR ANALYSIS FAILED\e[0m";
        exit 1 #breaks the build for failure in Step2
     fi
