Licence for Sonarqube C/C++ Community Plugin

[gargg...@gmail.com]

Dear All,

I am new to using Sonarqube C/C++ Community plug in. I am struggling to find out whether I need a licence or not

After I start the server, build the code with build-wrapper, run cppcheck on the code and setup properties file with cppCheck xml report and run the Sonar scanner, the scanner runs fine but at the end gives an error saying

no licence for cpp

I am not sure what the problem is. I wrote the language as C in the properties file, but there are no cpp files in the project

Can anybody help please?

Thanks & Regards,

Gaurav

Hi.

You are mixing two different plugins.

SonarSource C/C++ plugin: requires a commercial license. Website: http://www.sonarsource.com/products/plugins/languages/cpp/

SonarQube C++ Community plugin: open source alternative, doesn't require a license. Website: https://github.com/SonarOpenCommunity/sonar-cxx

The "build-wrapper" is part of the SonarSource C/C++ plugin, thus requiring a license. The message "no licence for cpp" means that you don't have a license for the "cpp" plugin (the commercial one).

So, contact the SonarSource support to get a license.

Dear Scott,

Many thanks Scott for your !

I made corrections and  now i am trying to use the C/C++ community plug-in and have now installed the correct "free" plug in:

https://github.com/SonarOpenCommunity/sonar-cxx

I have removed the build-wrapper from my sonar properties file too and just using the cppcheck to get the report for which I give the path in the properties file

I have un-installed the commercial plug-in

But now when I run the sonar server and then run the scanner, I get this:

I am not sure which method is wrong. Also, do I need to wrap the build using some opensource tool now instead of build-wrapper please?

I was using build-wrapper earlier with the scons command which I use to build my code (we have only c code, hoping that this commercial plug-in will still work with C code)

Many thanks for your help again!

Kind Regards,

Gaurav
