sonarqube/sonar-ws-generator

What is this project used for?

The sonar-ws-generator must be used to generate the java sources used to access the Web API (HTTP) of SonarQube. The generated sources are not compilable on their own, but require to be copied in the sonar-ws module.

How do I use it?

• Make your changes on the SonarQube Web API (protobuf specification of responses in sonar-ws or WebService implementations in sonar-server)
• Build SonarQube (for example with ./quick-build.sh)
• Run this generator: sonar-ws-generator/run.sh
• Check your git status: the generated sources are copied in sonar-ws/src/main/java. Please double check the changed code.
• Now you can rebuild sonar-ws and use it in integration tests

Hints

• A request parameter has type List<String> if its description contains “comma-separated” or “list of” (case insensitive). Examples:
  • “Comma-separated list of metric keys”
  • “List of metric keys”
