Introduction

In order to use the SonarQube plugin, Roadie needs an API token to communicate with SonarQube’s APIs.

These are set within backstage at the following url:

https://<tenant-name>.roadie.so/administration/settings/secrets

This page describes how to create and set up the API token.

Steps

Step 1: Create an API token

In order for the Backstage integration to work we must first generate our api key. These can be found from:

Step 2: Store the credentials and SonarQube URL in Roadie

Visit https://<tenant-name>.roadie.so/administration/settings/secrets and enter the token value from above into SONARQUBE_TOKEN.

Token in Roadie

Optional Step 3: Set SonarQube proxy in the settings

This step is only required when integrating with an on-prem SonarCube instance.

Visit https://<tenant-name>.roadie.so/administration/settings/proxy and create a new proxy.

proxy:
  '/sonarqube':
    target: https://your.sonarqube.instance.com/api
    allowedMethods: ['GET']
    auth: "${SONARQUBE_TOKEN}:"
