Integrate Sonarqube static analysis in Jenkins pipeline

This guide shows how to configure and integrate SonarQube analysis in Jenkins declarative pipelines.

Create a user named Jenkins and a token in SonarQube.

In Administration -> Security click on the "Create User" button and give it "jenkins" name.
Generate a new token for the user:

Configure SonarQube references on Jenkins.

From Jenkins -> Manage Jenkins -> Global tools go to "SonarQube Server" section.
Insert a name and SonarQube server url.









Create the pipeline.

Here's the example pipeline:
