How to Make a sonarqube project analysis Public while running a project

SonarQube Server / Community Build

Hi,

AFAIK there’s no way via sonar-project.properties.
To work efficiently with Sonarqube your Gitlab user needs global admin rights.
Then you can use either cURL or some groovy method with a token = type global / no expiration
and basic authentication for your rest calls.
This can also be part of a provisioning workflow (using the rest api).

Basic authentication uses <token>: means just the token plus delimiter with a blank password.
An example for using Groovy, this is one of my Jenkins shared libraries
The CPS stuff is needed for Jenkins, don’t know if Gitlab needs something similar too.

// vars/sqRest.groovy

import groovy.json.*
@NonCPS
def call(url, method, apitoken) {
  // must use def for jsonSlurper and conn otherwise cps errors
  println "sqRest => " + url
  def jsonSlurper = new JsonSlurperClassic()
  bauth = 'Basic ' + (apitoken + ':').bytes.encodeBase64().toString()
  def conn = url.toURL().openConnection()
  conn.setRequestMethod(method)
  conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", bauth)
  conn.connect()
  httpstatus = conn.responseCode
  println "sqRest ResponseCode = $httpstatus"
  if(method == 'GET') {
    object = jsonSlurper.parseText(conn.content.text)
  }
}

There may also be some automatism via Gitlab integration, but i don’t know much about
Gitlab, see GitLab integration
