Part 2 : Using SonarCloud with Travis CI auto build trigger

If you go through previous section Part 1: Travis CI introduction that would be helpful to follow my steps from this article.

Step 1 : Creating a user authentication token for your account on SonarCloud

     If we want to enforce security by not providing credentials of a real SonarCloud user to run your code scan, we have to provide a User Token as a replacement of the user login. This will increase the security of your installation by not letting your analysis user's password going through your network.

Step 2 : Encrypting generated Sonar token

      The easiest way to encrypt Sonar token with the public key is to use Travis CLI. This tool is written in Ruby and published as a gem. Please follow the link Install gem

Note : I suggest to use mac system to install gem if possible that would be easy to install & generate key.

travis encrypt SONAR_TOKEN

The above command generates encrypted Sonar token to use in travis.yml file

Step 3: Get SonarCloud.io Organization 

you want to push your project on and get its key

Step 4 : 

We have to create a sonar-project.properties file to the root folder of Android application.

sonar.projectKey=Same project key from the SonarCloud project

sonar.projectVersion=1.0

sonar.host.url=https://sonarcloud.io

sonar.organization=organization key from SonarCloud

sonar.projectName=Same project name from the SonarCloud project

sonar.login= SonarCloud Username

sonar.password= SonarCloud Password

# =====================================================
# Meta-data for the project
# =====================================================
sonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8

sonar.sources=src/main/java

sonar.java.binaries=build

sonar.binaries=build

sonar.language=java

sonar.profile=Android Lint

Step 5: 

Add the following lines to your .travis.yml file to trigger the analysis.

Whenever user pushed to the specified branch in yml file, the sonar analysis triggers & generates measure data in “https://sonarcloud.io/”

Happy coding !!!
