ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:3.7.0.1746:sonar (default-cli)

We are running SonarQube 7.4 and executing scans via Jenkins pipelines (YES an upgrade is coming for Sonar!)
We are using MAVEN 3.2.5 and JDK 1.8 as defined in our pipelines.
The command for the scans in the pipeline:
mvn install -DTARGET_ENV=test -Dsonar.projectKey=‘sonarsprojectkey-’ -Dsonar.projectName=‘SonarprjectName’ sonar:sonar -Pnexus deploy"
I have confirmed that both the mvn command and the POM file have the correct project information.

The pipelines are failing due to the following error:
ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:3.7.0.1746:sonar (default-cli)

We have 3 projects that are having this issue and they all started at the same time. No changes have been made to the Jenkins pipeline in months, and I had them correct the POM file last week, as it was incorrect.

Ive even rewritten the pipleie with no luck.

Here is the complete log file from the pipeline using the -X parm on

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Whenever you encounter a Java error, you want to skim down the stacktrace looking for the “Caused by” lines. In this case your root cause is at the end:

It looks like those three jobs require credentials to analyze. If this changed recently it would have been in the SonarQube interface, rather than in the pipeline. The docs tell you how to pass credentials.

HTH,
Ann

How would this change at the project level tho? I have 84 other projects scanning just fine. Many from the same Jenkins box as these 3. Either way, how do you remove it from Sonar? We did just have a few people leave and hence a clean up of Sonar ids. Is it a possibility? If so, I would need to reactivate these users so I can correct the issue. How does that work since I do not know what these folks original passwords were, I cant just recreate them in Sonar with any old password.

Hi,

That’s one possibility. Another is that the analysis permissions were removed at the project level from Anyone (i.e. anonymous).

No need. Best practice is to

Create a technical user, E.G.
Give that user permissions to analyze your project
Generate a token for the user
Configure it into Jenkins & use it for analysis.

HTH,
Ann

Thanks that seemed to solve that issue.

Stay Safe and Healthy!!
