SonarRunnerExtension - Gradle DSL Version 2.10

# SonarRunnerExtension

API Documentation: | `SonarRunnerExtension`

Known Subtypes: |
`SonarRunnerRootExtension`

Note: This class is deprecated and will be removed in the next major version of Gradle.

An extension for configuring the Sonar Runner integration.

The extension is added to all projects that have the `"sonar-runner"` plugin applied, and all of their subprojects. The extension of the project that actually applies the `"sonar-runner"` plugin is a subclass of this type, `SonarRunnerRootExtension`, which also allows configuration of the Sonar Runner process.

Example usage:

    sonarRunner {
      skipProject = false // this is the default
      sonarProperties {
        property "sonar.host.url", "http://my.sonar.server" // adding a single property
        properties mapOfProperties // adding multiple properties at once
        properties["sonar.sources"] += sourceSets.other.java.srcDirs // manipulating an existing property }
      }
    }

### Sonar Properties

The Sonar configuration is provided by using the `SonarRunnerExtension.sonarProperties()` method and specifying properties. Certain properties are required, such as `"sonar.host.url"` which provides the address of the Sonar server. For details on what properties are available, see Analysis Parameters in the Sonar documentation.

The `"sonar-runner"` plugin adds default values for several plugins dependening on the nature of the project. Please see the “Sonar Runner Plugin” chapter of the Gradle User Guide for details on which properties are set and their values.

Please see the `SonarProperties` class for more information on the mechanics of setting Sonar properties, including laziness and property types.

### Properties

Property | Description
`skipProject` | If the project should be excluded from analysis.

### Methods

Method | Description
`sonarProperties(action)` | Adds an action that configures SonarQube properties for the associated Gradle project.

### Script blocks

No script blocks

### Property details

#### `boolean` `skipProject`

If the project should be excluded from analysis.

Defaults to `false`.

Default:
  `false`

### Method details

#### `void` `sonarProperties`(``Action`<? super `SonarProperties`>` action)

Adds an action that configures SonarQube properties for the associated Gradle project.

Global SonarQube properties (e.g. database connection settings) have to be set on the "root" project of the Sonar run. This is the project that has the `sonar-runner` plugin applied.

The action is passed an instance of `SonarProperties`. Evaluation of the action is deferred until `sonarRunner.sonarProperties` is requested. Hence it is safe to reference other Gradle model properties from inside the action.

Sonar properties can also be set via system properties (and therefore from the command line). This is mainly useful for global SonarQube properties like database credentials. Every system property starting with `"sonar."` is automatically set on the "root" project of the SonarQube run (i.e. the project that has the `sonar-runner` plugin applied). System properties take precedence over properties declared in build scripts.
