How to trigger sonarqube analysis for multi-module Scala project? - scala

I need to analyse a multi-module Scala legacy project in Sonarqube v7.6 that has the Scala plugin already installed.
I am not very used to Scala and I overheard someone at the office saying it's not a standard project. Inside [ROOT_DIR] there is a folder app, that has only the launcher. Then I have domain and roles folders which contains modules, in [ROOT_DIR]/domain/[MODULE]/src and [ROOT_DIR]/roles/[MODULE]/src.
I have tried a few things with no data being passed to Sonarqube. One of the most promising leads is from this question: Multi module project analysis with SonarQube.
I don't mind having a sonar-project.properties file I can just run sbt sonarScan off the [ROOT_DIR] and check the analysis in sonarqube.
So far my sonar-project.properties looks like:
sonar.projectKey=myProject
sonar.sources=src/main/scala
sonar.login=e0fc3c8acf7028ebaca34bd5ddfb740d5498ee39
sonar.tests=src/test/scala
sonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8
sonar.scala.version=2.12
sonar.modules=moduleA, moduleB, moduleC
moduleA.sonar.projectName=moduleA
moduleA.sonar.sources=domain/moduleA/src
moduleB.sonar.projectName=moduleB
moduleB.sources=domain/moduleB/src
moduleC.sonar.projectName=moduleC
moduleC.sonar.sources=domain/moduleC/src
While this looks good, I am getting the following error:
[error] (moduleA / sonarScan) Not authorized. Please check the properties sonar.login and sonar.password.
The login and password error is a bit weird because Sonarqube is behind OneLogin so I don't have any issues scanning the other projects that use Maven and Java/Kotlin.
How can I get this running?

Managed to solve the issue with sbt sonarScan -Dsonar.java.binaries=target. With this, the sonar-project.properties is (apparently!) not needed.

Building JUnit 5 from Source in eclipse on Windows

I'm currently using JUnit 5.1, but I want to switch to JUnit 5.5 (at least 5.4) to use new features of that version (mainly the #Order annotation), but I'm really struggling to properly set it up.
Unfortunately I cannot simply switch to a newer eclipse version, because I'm tied a specific version we use at my workplace.
As there is no JAR-download, i've tried to build it from source. The only guidelines concerning this are saying to build it with Gradle, but I don't understand how to do this.
What I tried so far:
- downloaded the repository as an archive (zip) and imported it to eclipse, which resulted in multiple projects and <1.000 errors
- imported the repository into eclipse (via import wizard), but failed to find a way to make a build from it
I was able to run some test with JUnit 5.4 features, but i achieved this by downloading different modules as JARs from some maven-repository I found in a JUnit issue on github and including them as external JARs into the classpath. This was very tedious because of the number of different JARs & the way they were organized in the repository folders.
To me this feels like a workaround, as I still have no idea how to solve the initial problem of building JUnit from source.
I'm quite new to eclipse and have a basic understanding of what Gradle is, but I've never used it so far.
I don't expect a detailed step-by-step guide on how to achieve this (although I wouldn't complain ;) ), but I'd really appreciate it, if you could give me an outline of how building from source is done in general and maybe additional references for me to read about certain steps (e.g. setting up gradle).

How can I file an issue for SonarQube Eclipse plugin

I went here but cannot see any means of reporting an issue:
https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SONARIDE
The issue is that SonarQube plugin in Eclipse stops working when project is configured as "Groovy Project" and DSL jar is added to classpath. The Sonar run crashes with message saying that it cannot find the Groovy DSL jar in "{build folder}\C:\Users....", which makes no sense - why the hell is it treating an absolute path as relative.
You can't create issue in JIRA by yourself. We prefer issues to be first discussed on our user mailing list (or on SO) in order to avoid too many "won't fix/not a bug".
In your case it seems to be a valid report so I have created https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SONARIDE-430. In next Sprint of SonarQube Eclipse we plan to highly improve multi language support and Groovy is a good candidate.
If you could provide a simple Groovy project (including Eclipse metadata .project, .settings, ...) it would be very helpful.

Export eclipse project to build.sbt

I have a setup with 13 different eclipse projects (mostly scala and java). All projects have dependencies on each other in different ways. Now the project is starting to get big so we want to transition to a build tool and I wanted to try SBT.
First question: Is there any way to export the build files from eclipse? I mean, I have everything working in eclipse so It feels like an "export build.sbt" would be possible.
Second question: I have not found any easy way to add the project dependencies in a sbt file. Some sites say that I should publish all projects to a local maven repo and then using dependencies to be able to build it, but that requirement seems a little extreme.
I found my answers by a friendly person on the #sbt irc-channel.
For the first question: No, there seems to be none at the moment.
For the second qestion: I should create a multi-project build and define dependencies between projects that way (following the guide at: http://www.scala-sbt.org/release/docs/Getting-Started/Multi-Project.html)

Setting up a Scala project in Eclipse, together with JUnit & Scalatest

I have recently completed the Scala course on Coursera, and since then I have been looking forward to getting my hands dirty with Scala again. I have written code for some years but I neither educated to be nor work as a programmer, so it took me a while to get a good opportunity but now that I have some time to invest and a good project to work on it's time...
Except I can't seem to get things set up properly, which I find really frustrating. I have OpenJDK 1.7.0_25 running on my Linux machine. I have downloaded and installed the Bundle Scala IDE build for Eclipse (just like we used in the course). And I got ScalaTest both as a jar file and the Eclipse plug-in.
I have a simple project (so far) and no matter what I do I can't seem to get my builds and tests in order. First off how exactly am I supposed to set up my project so that my classes and tests are actually run properly? All the assignments we got were projects that had the same structure, so do I have to have:
project
|--src
|--main
|--scala
|--test
|--scala
structure? If so why is it not the default way the project is setup when I create a new project? Do I create these folders manually, as packages or as source folders? The whole thing gets pretty murky..
I should mention that I tried to "Mavenize" the project using the contextual menu in Eclipse, added my ScalaTest dependency. The first thing that happens is that I get compile errors, at every point of dependency in my code. So clearly the library is not visible, in other words Maven does not seem to be doing much of management. I thought the whole point of Maven was to get and maintain dependencies as the project evolves. I concluded that I do not fully understand the way Maven works and thus I eventually gave up on Maven, once again, and went back to doing things manually.
Secondly, I can't seem to run my tests; the Run As... menu item does not include ScalaTest as it's mentioned in the documentation of ScalaTest Eclipse Plug-in. I have double checked that the plugin is installed. If I instead try to run using JUnitRunner then my tests are not recognized as valid tests. I have JUnit and ScalaTest on my build path, so it's got to be something else.
I suppose my overarching question is as follows:
given the Scala IDE build of Eclipse and ScalaTest, just exactly how am I supposed to set up my project (in Eclipse) so that I can just focus on writing my code and testing it, and hopefully not have any other headaches?
I work alone, and this project is not a product I need to deliver to some client. In other words I do not need to adhere to strict professionalism here. Honestly I just want to be able to code, get better acquainted with Scala and hopefully build a small data analysis tool that I will be using from time to time.
Thanks in advance!
Try using the sbt eclipse plugin:
https://github.com/typesafehub/sbteclipse
This is of course assumes that you use sbt as you build tool. If you don't at the moment you can find instructions on installation and usage here: http://www.scala-sbt.org/
Personally I've been using typesafe giter8 template (https://github.com/typesafehub/scala-sbt.g8) to setup my Scala projects, and then I use the sbt plugin mentioned above to generate eclipse project files.
Scala is somewhat Maven-based (sometimes implicitly), that's why you use that structure.
The easiest way I think is to create a simple Sbt/Maven POM and create the Eclipse project configurations (like with sbt eclipse). There you can set the dependencies (like the actual version of JUnit, Scalatest to use), so you can use the ScalaTest plugin easily.
In case of other issues, feel free to ask at the ScalaTest mailing list, Chee Seng and Bill Venners can help you a lot there.
The Scala IDE website has a full documentation on how to run unit testing frameworks with the IDE, have a look ! If you find missing elements, the bug tracker of the scala-IDE project is here.

Set up an Eclipse Dynamic Web Project referencing another project

I've got a simple Dynamic Web project set up in Eclipse 3.6 Helios, but am having trouble getting it to make use of the code in another project that I've got.
I've added a reference to my other project to the build path of my web project, and I've got no problems in terms of compiling, only in terms of deploying and testing the result. The built web application doesn't have a jar in the WEB-INF/lib directory, so fair enough it can't find the code. The question is how I set this up. I've looked through the help that I can find and googled a bit but can't find anything obvious that helps out.
How do I set up my web project so that on deploying it it magically has the code from my dependent project inside it?
Thanks.
Note: Ideally I'd like a solution that doesn't involve setting up some kind of build tool. The web project deploys itself without recourse to any build tool (or at least none visible to end user), so was rather hoping that a references project could be integrated into that easily.
What goes in the deployment is determined not by the build path but by the Deployment Assembly entry in Preferences for the dynamic web project.
Use some build tool like ANT or Ivy or Maven that, on build, copies all the dependencies to WEB-INF/lib
Using a build tool is a good practice to automate build, test and deployment. You may also be interested in plug-ins like Maven Reactor.
