SonarQube Code Analysis

This skill runs SonarQube/SonarCloud scans on your Python web application to analyze code quality, detect security vulnerabilities, and identify code smells.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

• Run a SonarQube or SonarCloud scan
• Check code quality metrics
• Find security vulnerabilities
• Detect code smells and bugs
• Generate static analysis reports
• Review code coverage and technical debt

Prerequisites

Before running a scan, ensure:

1. Python and pip are installed
2. Project is configured with SonarQube/SonarCloud credentials
3. Internet connection is available for uploading results

How to Run a Scan

Windows (PowerShell)

Run the PowerShell script:

powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .claude/skills/sonarqube/scripts/run_sonar_scan.ps1

Linux/Mac (Bash)

Run the bash script:

bash .claude/skills/sonarqube/scripts/run_sonar_scan.sh

What the Scan Does

1. Installs pysonar - Automatically installs the SonarQube scanner for Python
2. Runs analysis - Scans all Python files in the project
3. Uploads results - Sends results to SonarCloud for analysis
4. Generates report - Creates a detailed quality report with:
   • Code quality metrics
   • Security vulnerabilities
   • Code smells
   • Bugs and issues
   • Technical debt
   • Code coverage

Understanding Results

After the scan completes:

• Visit your SonarCloud dashboard to view results
• Check the console output for immediate feedback
• Look for critical issues flagged during the scan

For detailed configuration options, see REFERENCE.md.

Troubleshooting

Issue: pysonar installation fails

• Check your Python and pip installation
• Ensure you have internet connectivity
• Try manually installing: pip install pysonar

Issue: Authentication error

• Verify your SonarQube token is valid
• Check project key and organization are correct
• See REFERENCE.md for credential configuration

Issue: Scan timeout

• Large projects may take several minutes
• Check network connectivity
• Review SonarCloud service status

Next Steps After Scanning

1. Review the SonarCloud dashboard
2. Address critical security issues first
3. Fix bugs and code smells
4. Monitor code quality trends over time
5. Integrate into CI/CD pipeline for automated scanning
