How to force Sonar to run Integration tests from Jenkins

Question

I use following things:

• maven - to build project

• jenkins - for CI

• sonar - for code analysis

My project contains unit and integration tests. I have configured above mentioned tools to work together.

Integration tests are separated from unit tests. To run integration test I need to run maven with specific profile. Sonar executes unit tests and gather metrics.

How can I force Sonar to execute specific profile and gather result from integration tests?

EDIT

My surefire and failsafe sections:

       <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.12</version>
            <configuration>
                <skipTests>${skip.unit.tests}</skipTests>
                <excludes>
                    <exclude>**/*IT*.java</exclude>
                </excludes>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.12</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>integration-tests</id>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>integration-test</goal>
                        <goal>verify</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <skipTests>${skip.integration.tests}</skipTests>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>

EDIT 2

When I run jenkins build with clean packag -DskipTests because otherwise my tests will be executed twice. First time during jenkins build and second time when sonar executes them. The problem is that when I start jenkins build with clean verify goal. I can see that both unit and integration tests are executed. And after this step Sonar starts his job and only unit tests are executed.

EDIT 3

I have managed to work sonar with maven from console. I've added following profile and proper plugin to my pom.xml:

<profile>
            <id>sonar</id>
            <!-- Enable coverage computation via JaCoCo for Sonar's needs -->
            <build>
                <plugins>
                    <!--
                        Compute integration test coverage for Sonar
                        Note: REQUIRES MAVEN 3 - throws InstantiationException: java.util.List otherwise
                        Beware: Sonar doesn't run the verify phase; you should always 'mvn clean install' before running sonar
                    -->
                    <plugin>
                        <groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
                        <artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                        <configuration>
                            <propertyName>jacoco.agent.argLine</propertyName> <!-- default: argLine -->
                            <includes>
                                <include>pl/cyfronet/**</include>
                            </includes>
                            <destFile>${project.build.directory}/jacoco-integration.exec</destFile> <!-- agent -->
                            <dataFile>${project.build.directory}/jacoco-integration.exec</dataFile> <!-- report -->
                        </configuration>
                        <executions>
                            <execution>
                                <id>agent</id>
                                <goals><goal>prepare-agent</goal></goals>
                            </execution>
                            <execution>
                                <!--
                                Generate coverage report html in target/site/jacoco/ from target/jacoco.exec
                                Exec.: mvn verify site
                                -->
                                <id>report</id>
                                <phase>site</phase>
                                <goals><goal>report</goal></goals>
                            </execution>
                        </executions>
                    </plugin>
                </plugins>
            </build>
</profile>

I've also added settings.xml file to my ~/.m2/ directory.

<settings>
 <profiles>
   <profile>
     <id>sonar</id>
     <activation>
       <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
     </activation>
     <properties>
       <!-- Example for MySQL-->
       <sonar.jdbc.url>
       jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sonar?useUnicode=true&amp;characterEncoding=utf8
       </sonar.jdbc.url>
       <sonar.jdbc.username>sonar</sonar.jdbc.username>
       <sonar.jdbc.password>sonar</sonar.jdbc.password>
     </properties>
   </profile>
 </profiles>
</settings>

After that I run mvn with following parameters: mvn sonar:sonar -Dsonar.jacoco.itReportPath=target/jacoco-integration.exec. Reports were correctly generated to sonar.

I was trying to use it in my jenkins. I have replaced post-build sonar with maven goal sonar:sonar -Dsonar.jacoco.itReportPath=target/jacoco-integration.exec but it doesn't work. My integration tests are not invoked. Any ideas?

Answer 1

I've managed to do this by calling manual maven scripts from jenkins. So everything is working without Sonar plugin for jenkins. It's not perfect, but it works.
