I’m unable to run the scanner. Every time I try sonar-scanner Dproject.settings=./sonar-project.properties -X, I get the following:

10:23:31.394 ERROR: Error during SonarQube Scanner execution
10:23:31.394 ERROR: Tasks support was removed in SonarQube 7.6.

My sonar-project.properties are:

sonar.organization=set #don't want to show publicly
sonar.projectKey=set #don't want to show publicly
sonar.host.url=https://sonarcloud.io
sonar.login=set #don't want to show publicly
sonar.sources=backend/
sonar.exclusions=**/*.sql,**/tests/**,**/vendor/**,backend/plagiarism-api/**,backend/api-docs/**,backend/quality-api/**
sonar.language=php

Also, maybe helpful:

sonar-scanner Dproject.settings=./sonar-project.properties -v
INFO: Scanner configuration file: /usr/local/bin/sonar-scanner/conf/sonar-scanner.properties
INFO: Project root configuration file: NONE
INFO: SonarQube Scanner 3.3.0.1492
INFO: Java 1.8.0_121 Oracle Corporation (64-bit)
INFO: Linux 4.15.0-47-generic amd64

To me, this looks similar to CFamily plugin 6.0.0.10816 crashing during scan with gcc 4.9.1 output. However, It’s unclear to me what the timeline is for having the issue resolved, or what options are available to me in the meantime. Until I’m able to run it, I’m not able to use SonarQube in my CI process.

Hi,

You’re missing the - on Dproject.settings=./sonar-project.properties, which by the way you don’t need anyway. That’s where the scanner’s going to look for properties anyway. Because the - is missing, this is seen not as the definition of a property, but as an argument (a task to run) and those aren’t supported.

Try this instead:

sonar-scanner -X

I am receiving same error after running below command:
sonar-scanner
-Dsonar.host.url=set
-Dsonar.jdbc.username=set
-Dsonar.jdbc.password=set
-Dsonar.jdbc.url=set
-Dsonar.projectKey=set
-Dsonar.projectName=set
-Dsonar.projectVersion=set
-Dsonar.projectBaseDir=set
-Dsonar.sources=.

Hi @sonar_naveen,

Welcome to the community.

I don’t understand your command line. Surely you didn’t actually pass “set” as the value of (almost) all your parameters?

Anyway, the error is the result of passing to the scanner something that it sees as an argument (without a -D to mean define this key/value pair). If you’re getting that particular error, then your analysis command line is not quite as you’ve portrayed it.

Hi Ann
set is the placeholder I have used in the post so that I do not expose the actual values publicly. I have passed all the arguments with -D .

Hi,

I don’t know what to tell you. If you’re getting that error, then there’s something on the command line that is not -X and doesn’t start with -D.

Hello,

I had same same issue today and managed to fix it for me. Have to say I am an actual Jenkins and SonarQube beginner though.

I have to use old versions (SonarQuabe 7.6, Jenkins 2.176, Sonar Scanner Plugin 3.3) due to a a limitation to 32-Bit on my test virtual machine.

In the jenkins configuration of the pipeline, where the build steps are configured, there is an input field for the “Task to run” under the group “Sonar scanner execution”.
It fixed the issue for me, when leaving that input field empty, because the error message said, that tasks are no longer supperted since SQ7.6.

Hope it may help you or some others that may come across this issue.

With regards
Matthias
