[JavaScript] Integrate with SonarQube and OWASP dependency check

SonarQube is an open source static code analysis tool to ensure code quality. To ensure its traceable, it support upload scan result to remote server. Dependency check is one of the security measurement to ensure application is develop with libraries without security vulnerability. Previously it automated by Java. In this case, it will try in JavaScript project.In this demo, it will install sonarqube-scanner and owasp-dependency-check to generate report and send result to remote SonarQube server.

Step of install and configure owasp-dependency-check

  1. Install development dependency.
    In command prompt, input command below:

    npm install -D owasp-dependency-check
  2. Test and verify result.
    In command prompt, input command below, expect it will generate reports in HTML, JSON and XML format.

    owasp-dependency-check --project \"sample project\" -f HTML -f JSON -f XML

Steps of install and configure sonarqube-scanner

  1. Generate token.
    In SonarQube server, in My Account > Security > Tokens, input token name in textbox Generate Token, and click Generate. Then copy token value for later use.
  2. Install sonarqube-scanner with development dependency.
    In command prompt, input command below:

    npm install -D sonarqube-scanner
  3. Configure SonarQube scanner.
    Create new file name sonar-project.properties and input settings below.

    sonar.host.url=https://sonarqube.home.local
    sonar.login=[App Token]
    sonar.projectKey=sample-project
    sonar.projectName=Sample Project
    sonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8
    sonar.sources=src
    sonar.exclusions=**/node_modules/**,**/*.spec.ts
    sonar.dependencyCheck.jsonReportPath=dependency-check-reports/dependency-check-report.json
    sonar.dependencyCheck.htmlReportPath=dependency-check-reports/dependency-check-report.html
    sonar.dependencyCheck.summarize=true
    sonar.dependencyCheck.securityHotspot=true

     

  4. Test and verify settings.
    In command prompt, execute command below. Expected it will shown in SonarQube.

    cd $PROJECT_DIR
    sonar-scanner

Step of integrate with single script

  1. Create script.
    In package.json, alter script as below:

    {
      ...
      "scripts": {
        "health-check": "owasp-dependency-check --project \"sample-service\" -f HTML -f JSON -f XML && sonar-scanner",
      }
      ...
    }

     

  2. Test and verify result.
    In command prompt, input command below, check in SonarQube and expect report has been uploaded.

    npm run health-check
