[GitHub Plugin] What is the future of the GitHub Plugin?

[msz...@wikia-inc.com]

Hello,

I'd like to request some clarification regarding the future of the GitHub Plugin. Information on https://github.com/SonarSource/sonar-github/pull/30 and https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/MMF-989 seem to indicate that most of the feature set provided by this plugin will be incorporated into the new Branch Plugin available as part of commercial SonarQube editions. Does this mean that the GitHub Plugin will cease development/be retired, or is its development simply on hold while the new alternative is being worked on?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Our intent for this plugin is to shelve it. As you noted, all the functionality it offers will be not just replaced but far outstripped by what is currently being added to the branch analysis functionality.

Hey Ann,

Thank you very much for the clarification! Does this mean that the plugin might not be kept compatible with future versions of SonarQube?

[G. Ann Campbell]

Hi,

It pretty much guarantees it will not.

Hi,

is there any plan to check pull request before they are merged?
Because with GitHub plugin we are able to detect new defects and fix them before they are merged.

Thanks,
It is sad that the free version won't have basic functions.
I am not sure if that is good.

Hi,

The Branch Analysis functionality will include PR analysis very soon.

Ann

As far as I know, the Branch analysis is just an enterprise feature, so what I'm hearing is that the team is deprecating open source functionality to favor enterprise model, is that correct?

[G. Ann Campbell]

Hi,

Since we have a commercial offering named "Enterprise Edition", I need to quibble that branch analysis is part of Developer Edition. But yes, it is a commercial feature.

Hi Ann,

could you please provide some details on when this soon(TM) will be? I'm in a bind right now, cause I made management buy us a Developer Edition license for branch analysis, since our workflow broke with 6.7 due to deprecated preview analysis mode. Unfortunately though, the branch analysis does not play well with the GitHub plugin:

* If I want branch analysis, I have to run analysis without sonar.analysis.mode=preview.

* If I want GitHub plugin to work and post comments on our GHE instance, I have to run analysis in preview mode.

So it seems right now I can have either a "preview" report via the branch analysis plugin *within SonarQube only*, or have the GitHub plugin post comments on the pull-request, but not a combination of the two. At least unless I run the analysis twice (didn't try that one, yet)?

Kind regards

Axel

Hi Axel,

In fact, we're actively working on PR analysis, but it's not "done" yet, even for internal use.  We have switched over and are dogfooding an early version of this (ironically, you can currently see issues raised on the PR for the feature itself) but until it's available, you should just keep using the old GitHub plugin. Yes, I know it's deprecated, which is why we've been working almost continuously since the 6.7 release to spin up the replacement functionality in the Developer Edition. Our first target is SonarCloud so that we  i̶n̶f̶l̶i̶c̶ erm... provide this to those users for early feedback before we make it available in the commercial editions. 

Beyond that, there are additional requirements we want to meet before we make this available to you, not least of which is the ability to ensure a stable, working interaction.

HTH,

Ann 

P.S. Regarding the difference between branch analysis and PR decoration: I would say that you do want two separate analyses for now because the short-lived branch and the PR you create from it are two separate things. (Hope this makes sense.)
