# Scan your code with SonarCloud
Using this GitHub Action, scan your code with [SonarCloud](https://sonarcloud.io/) to detects bugs, vulnerabilities and code smells in more than 20 programming languages!
In case you want to analyze C and C++ code: rely on our [SonarCloud Scan for C and C++](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/sonarcloud-scan-for-c-and-c) and look at [our sample C and C++ project](https://github.com/sonarsource-cfamily-examples?q=gh-actions-sc&type=all&language=&sort=)

SonarCloud is the leading product for Continuous Code Quality & Code Security online, totally free for open-source projects. It supports all major programming languages, including Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, C#, [C and C++](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/sonarcloud-scan-for-c-and-c) and many more. If your code is closed source, SonarCloud also offers a paid plan to run private analyses.
## Requirements
* Have an account on SonarCloud. [Sign up for free now](https://sonarcloud.io/sessions/init/github) if it's not already the case!
* The repository to analyze is set up on SonarCloud. [Set it up](https://sonarcloud.io/projects/create) in just one click.
## Usage
Project metadata, including the location to the sources to be analyzed, must be declared in the file `sonar-project.properties` in the base directory:
```properties
sonar.organization=<replace with your SonarCloud organization key>
sonar.projectKey=<replace with the key generated when setting up the project on SonarCloud>
# relative paths to source directories. More details and properties are described
# in https://sonarcloud.io/documentation/project-administration/narrowing-the-focus/
sonar.sources=.
```
The workflow, usually declared in `.github/workflows/build.yml`, looks like:
```yaml
on:
# Trigger analysis when pushing in master or pull requests, and when creating
# a pull request.
push:
branches:
- master
pull_request:
types: [opened, synchronize, reopened]
name: Main Workflow
jobs:
sonarcloud:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
# Disabling shallow clone is recommended for improving relevancy of reporting
fetch-depth: 0
- name: SonarCloud Scan
uses: sonarsource/sonarcloud-github-action@master
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
SONAR_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}
```
You can change the analysis base directory by using the optional input `projectBaseDir` like this:
```yaml
uses: sonarsource/sonarcloud-github-action@master
with:
projectBaseDir: my-custom-directory
```
In case you need to add additional analysis parameters, you can use the `args` option:
```yaml
- name: Analyze with SonarCloud
uses: sonarsource/sonarcloud-github-action@master
with:
projectBaseDir: my-custom-directory
args: >
-Dsonar.organization=my-organization
-Dsonar.projectKey=my-projectkey
-Dsonar.python.coverage.reportPaths=coverage.xml
-Dsonar.sources=lib/
-Dsonar.test.exclusions=tests/**
-Dsonar.tests=tests/
-Dsonar.verbose=true
```
More information about possible analysis parameters is found in the documentation at:
https://docs.sonarcloud.io/advanced-setup/analysis-parameters
See also example configurations at:
https://github.com/sonarsource/sonarcloud-github-action-samples/
### Secrets
- `SONAR_TOKEN` **Required** this is the token used to authenticate access to SonarCloud. You can generate a token on your [Security page in SonarCloud](https://sonarcloud.io/account/security/). You can set the `SONAR_TOKEN` environment variable in the "Secrets" settings page of your repository.
- *`GITHUB_TOKEN` Provided by Github (see [Authenticating with the GITHUB_TOKEN](https://help.github.com/en/actions/automating-your-workflow-with-github-actions/authenticating-with-the-github_token)).*
## Example of pull request analysis

## Do not use this GitHub action if you are in the following situations
* Your code is built with Maven: run 'org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar' during the build
* Your code is built with Gradle: use the SonarQube plugin for Gradle during the build
* You want to analyze a .NET solution: Follow our interactive tutorial for Github Actions after importing your project directly in SonarCloud
* You want to analyze C and C++ code: rely on our [SonarCloud Scan for C and C++](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/sonarcloud-scan-for-c-and-c) and look at [our sample C and C++ project](https://github.com/sonarsource-cfamily-examples?q=gh-actions-sc&type=all&language=&sort=)
