This plugin implements SCM dependent features of SonarQube for Perforce projects. It's a pure Java implementation so no need to have p4 command line tool installed on the computer doing the SQ analysis.
There is no autodetection so you should activate the provider using -Dsonar.scm.provider=perforce.
Mandatory properties:
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
| sonar.perforce.port | The host and port number of the Perforce service with which to communicate. Format is host:port. |
| sonar.perforce.username | Username to be used for Perforce authentication. Mandatory. |
| sonar.perforce.password.secured | Password to be used for Perforce authentication. If not set it will try to reuse existing ticket for provided user. |
| sonar.perforce.clientName | Name of the client/workspace the project belongs to. |
You can also configure some optional properties:
| Key | Description | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| sonar.perforce.useSsl | Use SSL protocol (p4javassl://) to connect to server | false |
| sonar.perforce.charset | Character set used for translation of unicode files (P4CHARSET) | |
| sonar.perforce.sockSoTimeout | Perforce socket read timeout for communicating with the Perforce service (milliseconds) | 30000 (30s) |
| sonar.perforce.clientImpersonatedHostname | Name of the host computer to impersonate (P4HOST) |
- No auto-detection since nothing in workspace seems to show this is under Perforce control management (like .git folder for Git workspace).
- Blame is not executed in parallel since we are not confident in the thread safety of p4java library.
The plugin use the p4java pure Java implementation of Perforce client: http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/manuals/p4java/01_p4java.html
