Hi,

Welcome to the community!

What do you get when you execute java -version from the command line?

Hi @ganncamp ,
Happy Morning, On typing the Java -version we get the latest java version which i have set in JAVA_HOME.

Initially we were using “java-11-openjdk-11.0.11.0.9-1.el7_9.x86_64” version and able to run the sonar-scanner command. Day before yesterday we have upgraded the java version post that we are getting the issue.

Latest Java Version : java-11-openjdk-11.0.12.0.7-0.el7_9.x86_64

Modified Place :

  1. Have set the JAVA_HOME
  2. In bin/sonar_scanner
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore="/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-11.0.12.0.7-0.el7_9.x86_64/lib/security/cacerts"
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore="/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-11.0.12.0.7-0.el7_9.x86_64/lib/security/cacerts" \

Post that we are started to get the java error message when we run the “sonar-scanner -Dsonar.projectKey=test-pipeline -Dsonar.branch.name=devops” command .

Kindly suggest whether the sonar-scanner version is compatible for the latest version of java.

Hi @ganncamp ,

Now i have made the set-up fresh. with the same version of Java and Sonar-Scanner. And i m getting the below error message.

Sonar-Scanner Version : sonar-scanner-4.6.1.2450
Java Version : java-11-openjdk-11.0.12.0.7-0.el7_9.x86_64

Lines added in bin/sonar-scanner :

-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore="/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-11.0.12.0.7-0.el7_9.x86_64/lib/security/cacerts"
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore="/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-11.0.12.0.7-0.el7_9.x86_64/lib/security/cacerts" \

Error Message :
Error: Could not find or load main class
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:

Kindly help me in understanding the issue and rectifying it.

Hi,

Maybe start by undoing your changes in bin/sonar-scanner and see if that helps.
