First or all you need to clone SonarC# repository: https://github.com/SonarSource/sonar-csharp.git.
SonarC# plugin relies on some metadata generated by the dotnet analyzer (part of the msbuild compilation).
To build the plugin by embedding the dotnet analyzer that was built locally, use the following command:
mvn clean install -P local-analyzer -D analyzer.configuration=Debug
The other alternative is to rely on an already built version of the analyzer using the following command:
mvn clean install -P download-analyzer -D analyzer.version=6.1.0.2070
This option is useful for developers in Unix, who don't build the C# analyzer themselves, because they work on other parts of the plugin.
External users can rely only on public versions hosted in maven org.sonarsource.dotnet:SonarAnalyzer.CSharp
When working with Eclipse or IntelliJ please follow the guidelines from this page: https://github.com/SonarSource/sonar-developer-toolset
Commands described in working with the code section will automatically run the unit tests.
To run the ITs, from your command prompt, go to its folder and run mvn clean install.
