Hello,
I want to scan my c code, and I bought the develope version.
I used the scanner for the example at first.

First, I created my test project locally. After I git clone the example, I entered the command

autoreconf --install
./configure
make clean all
build-wrapper-linux-x86-64 --out-dir bw-output make clean all

So far, I think there is no problem. I just followed the step from sonarqube website.
Then, I entered the command which is also from website

sonar-scanner \
  -Dsonar.projectKey=test \
  -Dsonar.sources=. \
  -Dsonar.cfamily.build-wrapper-output=bw-output \
  -Dsonar.host.url=http://127.0.0.1:9000 \
  -Dsonar.token=sqp_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Here is the error

ERROR: You’re not authorized to analyze this project or the project doesn’t exist on SonarQube and you’re not authorized to create it. Please contact an administrator.

ERROR: Re-run SonarScanner using the -X switch to enable full debug logging.

I have opened all of the permission in my project setting, and I already used my license.
How do I solve the error?

Hey there.

Can you try wrapping your SonarQube URL in quotation marks?

sonar-scanner \
  -Dsonar.projectKey=test \
  -Dsonar.sources=. \
  -Dsonar.cfamily.build-wrapper-output=bw-output \
  -Dsonar.host.url="http://127.0.0.1:9000" \
  -Dsonar.token=sqp_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hello.
I have tried to add the quotation marks.
It seems the error is still.

5

Hm. Can you try removing all the line breaks?

sonar-scanner -Dsonar.projectKey=test -Dsonar.sources=. -Dsonar.cfamily.build-wrapper-output=bw-output -Dsonar.host.url=http://127.0.0.1:9000 -Dsonar.token=sqp_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hi.
I also tried without all the line breaks.
But it doesn’t change the result.

7

Okay. So it sounds like a real permissions issue with the token that’s being used.

Does a project with the key test already exist on SonarQube?

8

Yes, it seems like a real permissions issue with the token that’s being used.
I have created the project manuallyfrom the localhost:9000.
The project display name is test, and the project key is also test.

Is there any command using the sonar.sh or sonar-scanner to check the test existing or not?

9

Does anyone have the same situation?

10

That’s really weird that it’s not working out of the box. I can’t reproduce it. Let’s try something else.

Can you go to My Account > Security and generate a new token (a user token or a global analysis token) and see if it works in place of the project token that was generated?

11

I seem to be having this same issue. I’ve tried creating a different PAT but still received the same error. I tried creating a new user with permission to run analysis and create projects but still received the same error. I’m running the Enterprise version.

12

Okay, I figure it out. I finally can analyze the c-family example.
The problem come from the project token.
I chose the option [Use existing token] before because it is convenient to use the same token.
I chose the other option [Generate a project token] to generate a new token.
I run the command from the website and the analysis runs successfully.

Thanks for your assistance!

Thanks for the update. Project analysis tokens are project specific and can’t be used for other projects.

It turns out my issue was unrelated. A Firewall was returning a 403 status code on only the api/ce/submit endpoint. The client interpreted the 403 as coming from the server and returned the error above. After updating the firewall the error went away.

EDIT:
See here. It just checks the code without examining the body.
