SonarQube analysis

Analyze SonarCloud quality issues for a specific PR. Generates comprehensive report with metrics, top violators, and action plan.

Core principle: Analysis-only = no code changes, pure insight.

Process

1. Verify Token: Check $SONARQUBE_TOKEN environment variable
2. Fetch Issues: Call SonarCloud API for PR issues
3. Parse Data: Group by severity, type, file, rule
4. Generate Report: Structured output with action plan
5. Cleanup: Remove temporary files

Prerequisites

Environment variable

# Set SonarQube token (add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc)
export SONARQUBE_TOKEN="your_token_here"

# Verify token is set
echo $SONARQUBE_TOKEN

To get token:

1. Go to SonarCloud → My Account → Security
2. Generate new token
3. Copy and export as environment variable

Project configuration

Configure your SonarCloud project details:

# Add to project's CLAUDE.md or as environment variables
SONAR_ORGANIZATION="your-org-name"
SONAR_PROJECT_KEY="your-org_your-project"
SONAR_BASE_URL="https://sonarcloud.io/api"

If not set: Ask user to provide organization and project key.

Fetch issues

Important: Direct curl with -u "$SONARQUBE_TOKEN:" fails in zsh due to authentication parsing. Use bash script wrapper:

# Create temporary bash script to handle authentication
cat > /tmp/fetch_sonar.sh << 'SCRIPT'
#!/bin/bash
curl -s -u "${SONARQUBE_TOKEN}:" \
  "https://sonarcloud.io/api/issues/search?componentKeys=${SONAR_PROJECT_KEY}&pullRequest=$1&issueStatuses=OPEN,CONFIRMED&sinceLeakPeriod=true&ps=500"
SCRIPT

chmod +x /tmp/fetch_sonar.sh
/tmp/fetch_sonar.sh $PR_NUMBER > /tmp/sonar_pr_$PR_NUMBER.json

API Parameters:

• componentKeys: Your project key
• pullRequest: PR number
• issueStatuses: OPEN,CONFIRMED (exclude resolved)
• sinceLeakPeriod: Only new issues in this PR
• ps: Page size (max 500)
