Hi,

Do you mean that you’re using SonarQube 7.7?

If so, you should start your upgrade as soon as possible, since you have a long upgrade path:

7.7 → 7.9.6 → 8.9.10 → 9.9.2 → 10.2.1 (last step optional)

If you have questions about upgrading, feel free to open a new thread for that here.

Regarding your question, there are too few details to be helpful. Once you’ve completed your upgrade, come back to us in a new thread and provide the details of how you run analysis.
