SonarSource project, available as a GitHub Action, scans your projects with SonarQube [Server](https://www.sonarsource.com/products/sonarqube/) or [Cloud](https://www.sonarsource.com/products/sonarcloud/).\n\n\u003cpicture\u003e\n  \u003csource media=\"(prefers-color-scheme: dark)\"

[Cloud](https://www.sonarsource.com/products/sonarcloud/) (formerly SonarQube and SonarCloud) is a widely used static analysis solution for continuous code quality and security inspection.\n\nIt helps developers detect coding issues in 30+ languages, frameworks, and IaC platforms, including Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, C#, Python, C, C++, and [many more](https://www.sonarsource.com/knowledge/languages/).\n\nThe solution also provides fix recommendations leveraging AI with Sonar's AI CodeFix capability.\n\n\u003e [!NOTE]  \n\u003e This action now supports and is the official entrypoint for scanning C, C++, Objective-C and Dart projects via GitHub actions.\n\n## Requirements\n\n### Server\n\nTo run an analysis on your code, you first need to set up your project on SonarQube Server. Your SonarQube Server instance must be accessible from GitHub, and you will need an access token to run the analysis (more information below under **Environment variables**).\n\nRead more information on how to analyze your code [here](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/latest/devops-platform-integration/github-integration/introduction/).\n\n### Cloud\n\n* Create your account on SonarQube Cloud. [Sign up for free](https://www.sonarsource.com/products/sonarcloud/signup/?utm_medium=referral\u0026utm_source=github\u0026utm_campaign=sc-signup\u0026utm_content=signup-sonarcloud-listing-x-x\u0026utm_term=ww-psp-x) now if it's not already the case!\n* The repository to analyze is set up on SonarQube Cloud. [Set it up](https://sonarcloud.io/projects/create) in just one click.\n\n## Usage\n\nProject metadata, including the location of the sources to be analyzed, must be declared in the file `sonar-project.properties` in the base directory:\n\n### Server\n\n```properties\nsonar.projectKey=\u003creplace with the key generated when setting up the project on SonarQube Server\u003e\n\n# relative paths to source directories. More details and properties are described\n# at https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/latest/project-administration/analysis-scope/ \nsonar.sources=.\n```\n\nIn the following cases:\n- for projects that don't have C, C++, or Objective-C in them\n- for C, C++, Objective-C projects that don't use [Build Wrapper](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/latest/analyzing-source-code/languages/c-family/prerequisites/#using-buildwrapper)\n\nthe workflow, usually declared under `.github/workflows`, looks like the following:\n\n```yaml\non:\n  # Trigger analysis when pushing to your main branches, and when creating a pull request.\n  push:\n    branches:\n      - main\n      - master\n      - develop\n      - 'releases/**'\n  pull_request:\n      types: [opened, synchronize, reopened]\n\nname: Main Workflow\njobs:\n  sonarqube:\n    runs-on: ubuntu-latest\n    steps:\n    - uses: actions/checkout@v4\n      with:\n        # Disabling shallow clones is recommended for improving the relevancy of reporting\n        fetch-depth: 0\n    - name: SonarQube Scan\n      uses: SonarSource/sonarqube-scan-action@\u003caction version\u003e # Ex: v4.1.0, See the latest version at https://github.com/marketplace/actions/official-sonarqube-scan\n      env:\n        SONAR_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}\n        SONAR_HOST_URL: ${{ vars.SONAR_HOST_URL }}\n```\n\nFor C, C++, and Objective-C projects relying on [Build Wrapper](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/latest/analyzing-source-code/languages/c-family/prerequisites/#using-buildwrapper) to generate the compilation database, the workflow requires additional steps to download the Build Wrapper and invoke it:\n\n```yaml\n# Trigger analysis when pushing to your main branches, and when creating a pull request.\n  push:\n    branches:\n      - main\n      - master\n      - develop\n      - 'releases/**'\n  pull_request:\n      types: [opened, synchronize, reopened]\n\nname: Main Workflow\njobs:\n  sonarqube:\n    runs-on: ubuntu-latest\n    env:\n      BUILD_WRAPPER_OUT_DIR: build_wrapper_output_directory # Directory where build-wrapper output will be placed\n    steps:\n    - uses: actions/checkout@v4\n      with:\n        # Disabling shallow clone is recommended for improving relevancy of reporting\n        fetch-depth: 0\n    - name: Install Build Wrapper\n      uses: SonarSource/sonarqube-scan-action/install-build-wrapper@\u003caction version\u003e\n      env:\n        SONAR_HOST_URL: ${{ vars.SONAR_HOST_URL }}\n    - name: Run Build Wrapper\n      run: |\n        # Here goes your compilation wrapped with Build Wrapper\n        # For more information, see https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/latest/analyzing-source-code/languages/c-family/prerequisites/#using-buildwrapper\n        # build-preparation steps\n        # build-wrapper-linux-x86-64 --out-dir ${{ env.BUILD_WRAPPER_OUT_DIR }} build-command\n    - name: SonarQube Scan\n      uses: SonarSource/sonarqube-scan-action@\u003caction version\u003e\n      env:\n        SONAR_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}\n        SONAR_HOST_URL: ${{ vars.SONAR_HOST_URL }}\n        SONAR_ROOT_CERT: ${{ secrets.SONAR_ROOT_CERT }}\n      with:\n        # Consult https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/latest/analyzing-source-code/scanners/sonarscanner/ for more information and options\n        args: \u003e\n          --define sonar.cfamily.compile-commands=\"${{ env.BUILD_WRAPPER_OUT_DIR }}/compile_commands.json\" \n```\n\nIf you are using SonarQube Server 10.5 or earlier, use `sonar.cfamily.build-wrapper-output` instead of `sonar.cfamily.compile-commands` in the `args` property of the last step, as Build Wrapper does not generate a `compile_commands.json` file before SonarQube Server 10.6.\n\nIt should look like this:\n\n```yaml\nwith:  \n  args: \u003e\n    --define sonar.cfamily.build-wrapper-output=\"${{ env.BUILD_WRAPPER_OUT_DIR }}\"\n```\n\nSee also [example configurations of C++ projects for SonarQube Server](https://github.com/search?q=org%3Asonarsource-cfamily-examples+gh-actions-sq\u0026type=repositories).\n\n### Cloud\n\n```properties\nsonar.organization=\u003creplace with your SonarQube Cloud organization key\u003e\nsonar.projectKey=\u003creplace with the key generated when setting up the project on SonarQube Cloud\u003e\n\n# relative paths to source directories.

You can read more about security tokens in the documentation of SonarQube [Server](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/latest/user-guide/managing-tokens/) and [Cloud](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/managing-your-account/managing-tokens/). You can set the `SONAR_TOKEN` environment variable in the \"Secrets\" settings page of your repository, or you can add them at the level of your GitHub organization (recommended).\n- `SONAR_HOST_URL` – this tells the scanner where SonarQube Server is hosted. You can set the `SONAR_HOST_URL` environment variable in the \"Variables\" settings page of your repository, or you can add them at the level of your GitHub organization (recommended). Not needed for SonarQube Cloud.\n- `SONAR_ROOT_CERT` – Holds an additional certificate (in PEM format) that is used to validate the certificate of SonarQube Server or of a secured proxy to SonarQube (Server or Cloud). You can set the `SONAR_ROOT_CERT` environment variable in the \"Secrets\" settings page of your repository, or you can add them at the level of your GitHub organization (recommended).\n\nHere is an example of how you can pass a certificate (in PEM format) to the Scanner truststore:\n\n```yaml\n- uses: SonarSource/sonarqube-scan-action@\u003caction version\u003e\n  env:\n    SONAR_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}\n    SONAR_HOST_URL: ${{ vars.SONAR_HOST_URL }}\n    SONAR_ROOT_CERT: ${{ secrets.SONAR_ROOT_CERT }}\n```\n\nIf your source code file names contain special characters that are not covered by the locale range of `en_US.UTF-8`, you can configure your desired locale like this:\n\n```yaml\n- uses: SonarSource/sonarqube-scan-action@\u003caction version\u003e\n  env:\n    SONAR_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}\n    SONAR_HOST_URL: ${{ vars.SONAR_HOST_URL }} # or https://sonarcloud.io\n    LC_ALL: \"ru_RU.UTF-8\"\n```\n\n## Alternatives for Java and .NET\n\nThis GitHub Action will not work for all technologies. If you are in one of the following situations, you should use the following alternatives:\n\n* Your code is built with Maven. Read the documentation about our SonarScanner for Maven in SonarQube [Server](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/latest/analyzing-source-code/scanners/sonarscanner-for-maven/) and [Cloud](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/advanced-setup/ci-based-analysis/sonarscanner-for-maven/).\n* Your code is built with Gradle.
