Setting up Bitbucket Cloud integration for your project

How to set up Bibucket Cloud integration features for your SonarQube Server project.

Reporting your quality gate status in Bitbucket Cloud for unbound projects

On SonarQube Server projects bound to their Bitbucket Cloud repository, SonarQube Server automatically sets up the report of your quality gate status and analysis metrics directly to your pull requests.

Preventing pull request merges when the quality gate fails

After setting up a pull request analysis, you can block pull requests from being merged if it is failing the quality gate. To do so, you configure a branch restriction. The set up is different whether you use Bitbucket Pipelines or not.

Prerequisites

You need the Premium Bitbucket Cloud plan.

Preventing pull request merges when the quality gate fails is not supported for monorepos.

With Bitbucket Pipelines

You must make sure that the Bitbucket Pipeline fails when the quality gate fails. See Failing the pipeline job when the quality gate fails.

Configure a branch restriction as follows:

1. In Bitbucket, go to Repository settings > Branch restrictions to either Add a branch restriction or edit your existing one.

2. In the Merge settings tab:

   • Set Minimum number of successful builds for the last commit with no failed builds and no in progress builds to 1.

   • Select the Prevent a merge with unresolved merge checks option.

Without Bitbucket Pipelines

If you know how many builds you have for a pull request, you can run your SonarQube Server analysis and not block the pipeline waiting for results. The SonarQube Server Quality Gate will appear in the build for your pull request after the analysis results are available.

Configure a branch restriction as follows:

1. In Bitbucket, go to Repository settings > Branch restrictions to either Add a branch restriction or edit your existing one.

2. In the Merge settings tab, set Minimum number of successful builds for the last commit with no failed builds and no in progress builds to the number of builds that run for the pull request. The figure below shows an example with 2 builds.
