Dangling meta character error during analysis

SonarQube

Hi,

I’m facing the error during the sonar scanner.

Versions
SonarScanner : 4.7.0.2747
Sonarqube : 8.9.10

error:

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

I’ve moved your post to a new topic since you had resurrected a 3-year-old thread that was unrelated to your problem. Please don’t do that.

I do appreciate that you included analysis logs. Generally it’s better to post the whole thing, but fortunately you’ve provided just enough:

During analysis, the Scanner makes several requests to the server. Most of the responses (except where its downloading analyzers) should be in JSON format. The fact that you got an HTML document back for a call indicates a problem talking to the server. The fact that this didn’t happen on the very first call indicates that you’ve correctly configured the SonarQube server URL. So either there was an error in SonarQube during analysis - you would be able to find the details in your server logs - or something “helpful” on the network is interfering and you should talk to your network folks.

:warning: Make sure you upgrade to SonarQube v9.9 LTS soon, not only to benefit from our Best LTS Ever™, but because soon we will systematically ask users to upgrade when they ask questions about earlier versions of SonarQube, which are now considered unsupported. :smiley:

 
HTH,
Ann
