sonarExecuteScan

Executes the Sonar scanner

Description

The step executes the sonar-scanner cli command to scan the defined sources and publish the results to a SonarQube instance.

Usage

We recommend to define values of step parameters via config.yml file. In this case, calling the step is reduced to one simple line.
Calling the step can be done either via the Jenkins library step or on the command line.
