What possible return values are there in Jenkins plugin Sonarqube scanner

Question

I build my application through a Jenkins pipeline job, made a sonar analysis and then passed the quality gate, i deploy it in nexus with mvn deploy.

Initially I only wanted to publish in case of success

stage("Quality Gate"){
      timeout(time: 1, unit: 'HOURS') {
          def qg = waitForQualityGate()
          if (qg.status != 'OK') {
              error "Pipeline aborted due to quality gate failure: ${qg.status}"
          }
      }
    }

But now I want to the logic gate a bit in jenkins so that I can publish even if there's no error.(warning may come)

So I changed the jenkins stage to:

stage("Quality Gate"){
  timeout(time: 1, unit: 'HOURS') {
      def qg = waitForQualityGate()
      if (qg.status == 'Error') {
          error "Pipeline aborted due to quality gate failure: ${qg.status}"
      }
  }
}

stage('Deploy to Nexus') {
    sh "mvn deploy -DskipTests"
}

But this doesn't seem to work. the project is always pushed to nexus even if the quality gate gives error in sonarqube.

a possible workaround could be by changing the condition:

qg.status != 'OK' || qg.status != 'Warning' 

Can anyone tell me the possible values for the error status.

Answer 1

I don't think there's another way other than guessing the correct value.

to prevent such issues, I suggest to test without exact case like this:

if ('error'.equalsIgnoreCase(qg.status) ) {
    error "Pipeline aborted due to quality gate failure: ${qg.status}"
} 

With this condition my script works fine.

the calue returned is 'ERROR'

Use Webhooks in SonarQube Administration setup to configure it.

This method returns whatever you have configured for all Gateway Rules.

Result might be either "OK" or "failure"
