redcoffee 2.16

A command-line tool to generate PDF for SonarQube Reports

RedCoffee

RedCoffee is a command-line tool designed to manage SonarQube reports easily. It allows you to generate PDF reports from SonarQube analysis data. The project mainly targets SonarQube Community Edition since it lacks the default capability to export PDF reports.

Installation

To install RedCoffee, you can use pip. First, ensure you have Python and pip installed on your system. Then, you can install RedCoffee directly from PyPI using the following command:

pip install redcoffee

Pre Requisites

The SonarQube analysis for the project should already have been completed.

Local Setup

Please note that the project has not been dockerised yet. Hence, it does not contain a DockerFile. However, please ensure that you have Docker installed on your system as we will require the same to have few containers up and running.

To setup RedCoffee locally on your machine, please follow the below steps

• In your terminal, please run the following command : pip install -r requirements.txt. This will ensure all the libraries are installed in your system which is essential for the project to be up and running.

• Next, please proceed to run the following docker command : docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up. This will ensure you have the required Infra up and running for the project to work successfully. Required Infra over here means SonarQube Community Edition and the Postgres DB.

• The configured username and password for the database can be found out in the docker compose file.

• Please procced to navigate to localhost:9000 as this is the address where your SonarQube instance is up and running ( unless you have changed the ports ) . It will ask you for the login. Please enter the username as admin and password as admin. It will prompt you to re-enter a new password. Please set up a password of your choice.

• Please click on your profile icon ( right most corner ) and click on the Account Section. Navigate to the Security section. Please procced to generate a SonarQube User Token. Please remember to save this token somewhere as you won't be able to see it later.

Please note that due to the unavailability of IPInfo Access Key and Sentry DSN URL on your local system, the calls for these APIs will fail. However, this does not block the execution.

Usage

Please run the following command to generate the PDF Report

redcoffee generatepdf --host=${YOUR_SONARQUBE_HOST_NAME} --project=${SONARQUBE_PROJECT_KEY} --path=${PATH WHERE PDF FILE IS TO BE STORED} --token=${SONARQUBE_USER_TOKEN}
