Azure DevOps SonarQubeAnalyze@5 is not finding java netiher in JAVA_HOME nor PATH

I am trying to run SonarQube in an Azure DevOps Pipeline, in the SonarQubeAnalysis@5 it errors that it cannot find java in either JAVA_HOME nor PATH.

I am pretty sure java is installed and is set as an environment variable in the agent VM.

I suspect the issue is in the wrapper.conf file. Question what is the default location where the wrapper.conf looks for java?
How can I change/update the current location of java in the wrapper.conf in the SonarQubePrepare/extraProperties?
There should be a way for me to change that in the pipeline.

thx, Markus.

Hi Markus,

Welcome to the community!

wrapper.conf is (used to be) part of the installation of SonarQube itself. It’s unrelated to running analysis.

Are you using a Microsoft-hosted build agent or a self-hosted agent? If the former, Java should already be there for you.

Can you provide your analysis log?

The analysis / scanner log is what’s output from the analysis command. Hopefully, the log you provide - redacted as necessary - will include that command as well.

This guide will help you find them.

I am using self-hosted agent.

By analysis log you mean the error output that the pipeline task SonarQubeAnalyzer produces?

This is what I get from SonarQubeAnalyze@5

Hi,

Since you’re using a self-hosted agent, you’ll need to make sure Java is installed on it and (I believe) in %PATH%.
