SonarQube with Bitbucket Pipeline for iOS App in Mac OS

 Integrating SonarQube or SonarCloud with an iOS project in a Bitbucket repository using pipelines involves several steps. Here’s a detailed guide:

---

1. Set up SonarQube/SonarCloud

• SonarQube:
  • Install and configure a SonarQube server (if not using a hosted solution).
  • Create a new project in SonarQube.
  • Generate a project key and token for authentication.
• SonarCloud:
• Log in to SonarCloud using your Bitbucket account.
• Create a new project, selecting the Bitbucket repository.
• Generate a project key and token.

2. Configure the iOS Project

1. Install Sonar Scanner:

   • Use Homebrew to install the scanner:

     bash
     brew install sonar-scanner
     

   • Verify the installation:

     bash
     sonar-scanner --version
     

2. Generate SonarQube Configuration File (sonar-project.properties):

   • Place this file in the root directory of your iOS project.
   • Example configuration:

     properties
     sonar.projectKey=your_project_key
     sonar.organization=your_organization_key (if using SonarCloud)
     sonar.host.url=https://your-sonar-url (SonarQube) or https://sonarcloud.io
     sonar.login=your_token
     
     # Source settings
     sonar.sources=.
     sonar.language=swift
     sonar.swift.simulator=platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 14,OS=16.4
     sonar.exclusions=**/*.test.swift,**/Carthage/**,**/Pods/**
     
     # Coverage
     sonar.coverage.exclusions=**/*.test.swift
     sonar.swift.coverage.reportPaths=build/reports/coverage/coverage.json
     

3. Set up Test Coverage:

   • Use xccov or tools like slather to generate test coverage reports in coverage.json.

3. Configure Bitbucket Pipelines

1. Enable Pipelines:

   • Go to your Bitbucket repository.
   • Under Settings > Pipeline > Settings, enable Pipelines.

2. Add a bitbucket-pipelines.yml File:

   • In the root directory of your repository, create or modify the pipeline configuration file:

     yaml
     image: appleboy/drone-sonar-runner
     
     pipelines:
       default:
         - step:
             name: Build and Analyze
             image: appleboy/drone-sonar-runner
             script:
               - xcodebuild clean build test -scheme YourScheme -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 14,OS=16.4'
               - sonar-scanner
             services:
               - docker
     

3. Customize the Pipeline:

   • Adjust the xcodebuild and sonar-scanner commands according to your project.
   • Use caching to speed up builds:

     yaml
     definitions:
       caches:
         sonar: ~/.sonar/cache
     

4. Secure Secrets:

   • Store sensitive details like SonarQube/SonarCloud tokens in Bitbucket Repository Variables (under Repository Settings > Repository Variables).

4. Run the Pipeline

• Push the changes to your Bitbucket repository.
• Trigger the pipeline manually or let it run automatically on the next push.
• Check the SonarQube/SonarCloud dashboard for analysis results.
