Where them APIs at? -- I'm developing a SonarQube issue classifier plugin

[Dhruvan Ganesh]

Hi Gang,

I'm a newbie to SonarQube. I'm currently developing a plugin to classify Issues.

1. Where are the Java API docs located?

2. Where are the Ruby on Rails API docs?

3. Does calling the Web API from a widget require Auth?

Misc: Any advice on how one can classify Plugins without Java or RoR is also helpful to me. 

Thanks,

Dhruvan

Hi Dhruvan,

The javadocs are here: http://javadocs.sonarsource.org/latest/apidocs/

You may also benefit from the general docs: http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/DEV/Extension+Guide

There aren't any RoR docs, but that's soon to be a moot point. 6.1 dropped project dashboards and 6.2 is likely to drop global dashboards as well.

Hi Ann,

If you drop dashboard support how would you suggest I create a custom UI then? Or is SonarQube becoming purely a server to perform code analyses?

Hi Ann,

Could you please clarify your plans around plugin development.

What approach do you recommend plugin developers take at this point?

It's challenging to develop RoR plugins when there's no documentation. 

It appears you are now replacing RoR with React? If that's the case will the documentation be available on release? When is the release expected?

If dashboards are being removed can you please provide an overview of how plugins will work.

Any insight to status, plans, and recommendations would be much appreciated.

thanks,

Paul

Hi Ann,

It really would help to get your input on your plans for plugin developers and what you recommend at this current point.

best regards,

Paul

Hi,

IMO, there's no point in further RoR development on your side. We are working steadily to purge all RoR code from the platform, so anything you develop will soon be useless.

If I were you, I'd confine myself to developing metrics and rules.

Hi Ann,

Thanks for the update. Excuse the late response I’ve been traveling.

Can you indicate when you expect your new plugin API will be available so we can update our customers. 

Can you also provide an indication of what capabilities will be available to plugin developers, using what technologies, and will documentation for your apis and how to build plugins be available at release time? If not, when do you expect availability of the plugin documentation?

For now, a general high level overview of your short and long term plans and architecture for plugins would be appreciated.

You recommend only injecting metrics and rules into Sonarqube, is this a temporary limitation or is this part of your long term plans for plugins?

You mentioned also that the dashboards will be removed, does this mean that we will not be able to develop custom plugin widgets for presenting results (issues and measures), images and custom html? We have customers who currently use our dashboards, so please clarify how you intend for plugin developers to support existing customers.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul,

At this point, we don't anticipate any public APIs, extension points, etc. for visual elements. 

That includes custom widgets. After all, without a dashboard, where would you show them?

Ok but can you indicate when you expect your *new* plugin API will be available, whatever it happens to support, we would like to keep our customers up to date on our intentions wrt Sonarqube. 

Can you also provide some information on what capabilities will be available to plugin developers, using what technologies, and will documentation for your apis and how to build plugins be available at release time? If not, when do you expect availability of the plugin documentation?

I suspect I am not the only one who would appreciate a general overview of your short and long term plans and architecture for plugins.

Thanks,

Paul
