SonarQube plugin for TypeScript files

SonarTsPlugin

SonarQube plugin for TypeScript files

##Demos

A live deployed demo hitting a few large open-source TypeScript projects can be found here: https://sonar.pablissimo.com.

Suggestions for more projects (or ones with easy-to-gather code coverage info) appreciated!

• Microsoft TypeScript Compiler
• Turbulenz Engine
• Microsoft Visual Studio Code
• Angular Framework

###Integrations

• Running TSLint within SonarQube on a TFS build - Richard Fennell

##Overview

This is plugin for SonarQube 5.6+ for analysing projects with TypeScript content that supports:

• TsLint for code quality information
• Importing LCOV files for unit test coverage information
• NCLOC metric generation

It's unfinished in the following respects:

• Incomplete unit test coverage of the plugin
• No support for code duplication metrics

It's presented only for the interested, and the brave.

##Requirements

• Java 1.8+
• SonarQube 5.6 LTS+
• TsLint 2.4.0+

##Building

• Download the source
• Build with maven, mvn clean && mvn install

##Installation

• Install Node.js
• Install TsLint (2.4.0+) with npm install -g tslint, or ensure it is installed locally against your project
  • If you're installing globally, find the path to TsLint and copy it - will be similar to C:\Users\\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\tslint\bin\tslint on Windows
• Copy .jar file (from target/ after build, or downloaded from Releases page) to SonarQube extensions folder
• Restart SonarQube server
• Browse to SonarQube web interface, login as Admin, hit up Settings
• Find the TypeScript tab, paste in the TsLint path
• Hit the Rules tab, then the TsLint rule set, then apply it to your project - alter rule activation as required
• Make sure you have a tslint.json file next to sonar-project.properties, or specify its path using the sonar.ts.tslintconfigpath setting
• If LCOV data available, add sonar.ts.lcov.reportpath=lcov.dat to your sonar-project.properties file (replace lcov.dat with your lcov output, will be sought relative to the sonar-project.properties file)
• Run sonar-runner or sonar-scanner
• TsLint rule breaches should be shown in the web view

##Configuration

###Global configuration

Key		Description
sonar.ts.tslintpath	Recommended	Path to the installed copy of TsLint to use - can also be set at project level, see note below
sonar.ts.ruleconfigs	Optional	A list of configurations to map custom TsLint rules to dedicated SonarQube rules & settings - see TsLint Custom Rules section below

###Project-level configuration

Key		Description
sonar.ts.tslintpath	Recommended	Path to the installed copy of TsLint to use - see note below
sonar.ts.tslintconfigpath	Recommended	Path to the tslint.json file that configures the rules to be used in linting - see note below
sonar.ts.excludetypedefinitionfiles	Optional	Excludes .d.ts files from analysis, defaults to true
sonar.ts.forceZeroCoverage	Optional	Forces code coverage percentage to zero when no report is supplied, defaults to false
sonar.ts.ignoreNotFound	Optional	Don't set code coverage percentage to zero when file is not found in report, defaults to false
sonar.ts.tslinttimeout	Optional	Max time to wait for TsLint to finish processing a single file (in milliseconds), defaults to 60 seconds
sonar.ts.tslintrulesdir	Optional	Path to a folder containing custom TsLint rules referenced in tslint.json
sonar.ts.lcov.reportpath	Optional	Path to an LCOV code-coverage report to be included in analysis

##TsLint installation and configuration By default, SonarTsPlugin will look for a version of TsLint installed locally within your project (i.e. in node_modules\tslint\bin), relative to the sonar-project.properties file. This may not be what you want, so you can set this directly via the sonar.ts.tslintpath configuration setting:

• At project level
• Globally, for all projects

If analysis is failing, run sonar-runner with the -X -e options for more diagnostic information, including a note of where the plugin is searching for tslint. Bear in mind that if running on a build server, the account running the build will need access to the path to tslint.

By default, SonarTsPlugin will look for a TsLint configuration file called tslint.json next to the sonar-project.properties file. You can override this using the sonar.ts.tslintconfigpath configuration setting if this isn't the case for your project.

TsLint Custom Rules

To present custom TsLint rules in SonarQube analysis, you can provide a configuration that maps the TsLint rules from your sonar.ts.tslintrulesdir directory to dedicated Sonar rules for analysis. The configuration for a TSLint Sonar rule consists of a line declaring the TSLint rule id, a boolean switch to enable or disable the rule if needed and some attached properties that are used by Sonar for analysis and reporting.

For example taking the export-name rule from the tslint-microsoft-contrib package, a configuration for that rule in SonarTsPlugin could look as follows:

export-name=true
export-name.name=The name of the exported module must match the filename of the source file.
export-name.severity=MAJOR
export-name.description=This is case-sensitive but ignores file extension. Since version 1.0, this rule takes a list of regular expressions as a parameter. Any export name matching that regular expression will be ignored.
export-name.debtFunc=LINEAR_OFFSET
export-name.debtScalar=15min
export-name.debtOffset=1h
export-name.debtType=HARDWARE_RELATED_PORTABILITY

You will need to restart the SonarQube server after configuring custom rules this way before subsequent analyses will pick them up. You will also need to activate the new rules after restart for any quality profile you want them to participate in - by default they will be disabled.
