So i recently tried to create a Java Android project and add it to SonarCloud.
I did the following steps:
- Created an organization on GitHub
- Created repository
- Created java android project (Empty Views Activity) using API 30 and Groovy DSL
- Imported organization on SonarQube Cloud
- Added repository for analysis
- Select free plan
- Disabled automatic analysis
- Added sonar token
- Use GitHub CI as analysis method
- Added build.yml and updated build.gradle.kts
- Added gradlew permissions
When I try running the project locally, everything works fine. However, using the build script provided by SonarCloud itself using GitHub CI (see below), the CI crashes and the project does not get analyzed. I don’t really know, where the issue is, since I only create a new Android Studio project and copy the build file from the SonarCloud instructions for GitHub CI
I have the following workflow build.yml file (generated by SonarCloud)
name: SonarQube
on:
push:
branches:
- main
pull_request:
types: [opened, synchronize, reopened]
jobs:
build:
name: Build and analyze

distribution: 'zulu' # Alternative distribution options are available
- name: Cache SonarQube packages

restore-keys: ${{ runner.os }}-gradle
- name: Build and analyze
env:

run: ./gradlew build sonar --info --stacktrace
My build.gradle looks like the following (I also added the SonarCloud related changes)
plugins {

}
sonar {

}

defaultConfig {

dependencies {

implementation libs.material

My dependencies (also updated to the latest version which still does not work). The depencies were automatically added when creating my project using Android Studio.

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 9.0.
You can use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.
For more on this, please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/8.11.1/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings in the Gradle documentation.

I am a bit confused, why it does not work, since the same step by step instruction worked a year ago. Would be great if somebody can help!
I have the same issue when using Kotlin with KotlinDSL
