To run tests locally follow these instructions
To build the plugin and run its unit tests, execute this command from the project's root directory:
mvn clean install
To run integration tests, you will need to create a properties file like the one shown below, and set its location in an environment variable named ORCHESTRATOR_CONFIG_URL.
# version of SonarQube server
sonar.runtimeVersion=6.5
orchestrator.updateCenterUrl=http://update.sonarsource.org/update-center-dev.properties
Before running any of integration tests make sure the submodules are checked out:
git submodule init
git submodule update
The "Plugin Test" is an additional integration test which verifies plugin features such as metric calculation, coverage etc. To launch it, execute this command from directory its/plugin:
mvn clean install
The "Ruling Test" is a special integration test which launches the analysis of a large code base, saves the issues created by the plugin in report files, and then compares those results to the set of expected issues (stored as JSON files). To launch ruling test:
cd its/ruling
mvn clean install
This test gives you the opportunity to examine the issues created by each rule and make sure they're what you expect. You can inspect new/lost issues checking web-pages mentioned in the logs at the end of analysis:
INFO - HTML Issues Report generated: /path/to/project/sonar-javascript/its/sources/src/.sonar/issues-report/issues-report.html
INFO - Light HTML Issues Report generated: /path/to/project/sonar-javascript/its/sources/src/.sonar/issues-report/issues-report-light.html
If everything looks good to you, you can copy the file with the actual issues located at
sonar-javascript/its/ruling/target/actual/
into the directory with the expected issues
sonar-javascript/its/ruling/src/test/resources/expected/
