Error starting SonarQube server

Hello,

I am using SonarQube community edition version 9.2.4.50792
Maven 3.8.4
Java version 11.0.12 with JDK 11
Java SE runtime environment 18.9 (build 11.0.12 + 8-LTS-237)
Java Hotspot 64-bit server VM 18.9 (the same build from above)
Plugin 8.x
I have a JAVA_HOME variable : C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk-11.0.12

I’m in the first steps to do a plugin for SonarQube, as first, I downloaded and ran the StartSonar.bat, but it gave me the following error:

C:\sonarqube\bin\windows-x86-64>StartSonar.bat

I already change in sonar.properties the port from 9000 to 9005 but the error remains the same.

Here are my logs
es.log (10.9 KB)
sonar.20220110.log (5.7 KB)
web.log (27.3 KB)

I appreciate any orientation or help!

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

Did you look at your logs? If so, what did you make of them?

For me, this is pretty clear:

2022.01.10 10:44:06 ERROR web[][o.s.s.p.Platform] Background initialization failed. Stopping SonarQube
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Rule with key 'foo-foolint:ExampleRule2' not found

What may be less clear for you is where that’s coming from. I’m guessing it’s caused by this plugin:

2022.01.10 10:43:25 INFO  web[][o.s.s.p.ServerPluginManager] Deploy plugin Example Plugin for SonarQube 8.x / 8.1.0 / null

You’re on SonarQube 9.2.4. At a guess, an 8.1.0 example plugin is no longer compatible, although I’m not familiar with that plugin. So you’ll want to start by removing that plugin & then see if it will start up for you.

The other thing I noticed when looking at your web.log is that you’re using the embedded, H2 database. Obviously you’ll want to connect to a supported DB for production. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello , thanks for quick answer,

This is the plugin [GitHub - SonarSource/sonar-custom-plugin-example: Shows how to write a SQ plugin for LTS].
I understand i need to use the version 8.9.6 LTS of SonarQube for the plugin works , isn’t?

Hi,

Are you trying to get started with plugin development? If so, then a downgrade to the LTS might help - altho I really am unfamiliar with that plugin, so I can’t be sure. If not, I’d just jettison the plugin and go forward with the current version.

Hello everyone,

Is this problem solved? I am facing the same problem when trying to add a new plugin for a new language.
Any info is welcomed. Thanks !
