Exit code list of sonar-scanner command

[mason]

Is there any document which list all the possible exit codes and its meanings of the sonar-scanner command?
like ‘failed to pass quality gate’, ‘success’, ‘time out’, ‘bad gateway’, etc

Thanks in advance for any help

Sonar-Scanner return codes

Hey there. 0 = success non-zero = failure. Either the scanner itself failed, or you specified sonar.qualitygate.wait and polled for the Quality Gate status which ultimately was failing.

i’d like to second … but rephrase OPs question a bit, if that’s ok

are there different non-zero return codes? If yes, would you be able to point to a document which contains a listing of them which describes the cause?

If there are different non-zero return codes, and they are undocumented, i’d like to suggest documenting them.

And if there is just one non-zero return code: which one is it?

Hey Daniel,

@daniel

If there are, it’s not a reliable API (we don’t commit to keeping them the same).

The exit code can either be 1 (internal error) or 2 (user/functional error). All this really means is the scanner fails to start (exit code 1), or fails when it is started (exit code 2).
