I am trying to analyze a C++ project with the following set up:

  • Enterprise Edition Version 8.9.3 (build 48735)
  • sonar-scanner-cli-4.8.0.2856-linux
An error occurred while analyzing the following compilation unit: 
  <path to a cpp file>
A file named "sonar-cfamily-reproducer.zip" has been generated to help the problem investigation.
Please contact SonarSource support providing the following file to help improving the analyzer:

Attempting to exclude the file it failed with just results in another file being hit. I do have the sonar-cfamily-reproducer.zip and can share it if needed. Any suggestions?

Update: I tried excluding the files that SQ was getting stuck on and after a few attempts, the scan went through. Still, these files are important and should be scanned, so this is still an issue for us.

Hello @SakeebHossain,

Can you try updating to SonarQube 9.8? Many crashes like this one has been fixed since then.
If that isn’t feasible, can you at least try with 8.9.10.

Thanks,

@SakeebHossain, any update?
