I'm using SonarQube Enterprise 8.7 and running scans with it via Jenkins and I'm wondering if there's an option or parameters within SonarQube to have the name of my scanned branches displayed in the Jenkins UI.
This image is an example of what I'm after
The names have been blurred out but you can see the name digital which forms part of the branch name.
It seems to work straight out of the box with older versions of SonarQube, but not with newer versions.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks.
I figured it out.
I just needed to add this to my Jenkinsfile and it works.
currentBuild.description=$BRANCH_NAME

The Jenkins landscape is vast and new progress is difficult to keep track especially if you are not a regular DevOps.
I am currently in process of setting up a Jenkins CI system from scratch. I am looking for the best possible ways to get the Jenkins instance up and running. I have looked at options such as running from the JAR, setting it up a service, docker, blue ocean, etc.
I was wondering if you can please share your experience if there is a pre-configured setup or a scalable Jenkins solution already available in the market which is ready to be configured/deployed.
One of the key tenant on this Jenkins instance would be test automation guys running their Selenium tests (or I am ideally looking at Windows server installation although CentOS is an option) and would like to make it working for them as easy as possible.
I'm a Jenkins admin. In my company I've set up Jenkins on our Kubernetes cluster using the Helm chart with a custom docker image preloaded with plugins (you don't want to rely on the plugin update site during startup). All configuration is done with the Configuration as Code Plugin. We're using the Kubernetes plugin to do horizontally scaling. No builds are allowed on the build controller, everything is done within agents, which is custom docker images inspired by these images. and we don't allow no builds to run on the build controller. This works very well, and I'm very happy with the setup. There is also a Jenkins Kubernetes Operator which looks promising, but I havent tried it myself.
If you're not on Kubernetes, you can take a look at the Jenkins Evergreen project.
PS: The Blue Ocean project is dead, but the folks over at Cloudbees are currently in the process of overhauling the UX. They just released a weekly version where they got rid of all tables so the design is slowly becoming more and more responsive, and also a new set of icons is also coming up.
Maybe the nearest you can get to a pre-configurated Jenkins Instance is using the Docker Image (https://hub.docker.com/r/jenkins/jenkins). But also with the docker image, you have to selected plugins and so on. Maybe you want to raise an issue as purposal in the Jenkins Docker repository to make it possible to pre-configure Jenkins (Github Repo: https://github.com/jenkinsci/docker/issues)?
I have installed sonar and jenkins. Now I want to add Sonarqube into Jenkins. But in the manage plugins, it doesn't show me the Sonarqube.the display I get
SonarQube is a standalone server. It offers a web user interface to visualize bugs, code smells and vulnerabilities. You cannot include this web-ui SonarQube in Jenkins.
However, you can trigger a scan as part of your Jenkins job. This scan can "send" its findings into a SonarQube installation - either hosted by your own (on-premise), or using the hosting offer at sonarcloud.io.
There are a couple of different ways to include the scanner in your job, but the setup is specific to your programming language and build tools (Maven, VisualStudio, command line, ...). Check the sonarcloud docs for the way, that fit's best to your situation.
When i run a build I'm getting an older version of the pipeline in the UI instead of the updated one. If i go to the legacy view of jenkins i see the updated version as expected. Some suggestionsabout this problem?
Currently, I am working in a quality process so as to ensure that the code is acceptable. For that, I'm integrating Jenkins, SonarQube and GitLab, which are running in different servers (actually they are in different docker containers).
The idea is to check with SonarQube everytime the code is pushed against GitLab and block commits, merges, and so on, whether SonarQube has not passed.
I have already integrated Jenkins with SonarQube, but Jenkins checks the code inside his workspace, so imagine a situation where a developer in his laptop needs to push his changes.
My conceptual question is simple: Is it possible to integrate these technologies in order to do this? And, if the question is yes, which steps are necessary?
PD: I don't need to see code, configuration files,and so on. I just need something like:
Configure SonarQube to work with Jenkins
Do an script so as to copy that file in that folder,
...
First, in docker means each tool is in its own container.
They only need to see each other through the network, which is where a Docker Engine in Swarm mode comes in.
Second "configure Jenkins to work with SonarQube"... that is what I have done in my shop, and there isn't much to it.
Once the Jenkins SonarQube plugin is installed, and the address for the SonarQube server entered, you can configure your job and call sonar (for instance with maven: $SONAR_MAVEN_GOAL -Dsonar.host.url=$SONAR_HOST_URL)
The analysis done in the Jenkins workspace will then be published in the SonarQube server.
A swarm server is the more modern version of this 2015 docker-compose.yml file from the marcelbirkner/docker-ci-tool-stack project.
The idea remains the same though: each element is isolated in its own container.
I haven't tried It myself but https://gitlab.talanlabs.com/gabriel-allaigre/sonar-gitlab-plugin could be interesting in your setup.
I have a Jenkins Build Pipeline similar to the screenshot below:
Im just wondering is it possible to display the full job name?
As you can see from the screenshot the full name is not displayed at present,
There does not seem to be any settings in Jenkins/Build Pipeline plugin to allow longer names,
Thanks
The latest version of the Build Pipeline plugin resolves this issue, see:
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Build+Pipeline+Plugin
Ensure Jenkins and the Build Pipeline are on the most up to date versions
