How to set Java JDK for SonarScan?

J_K · January 13, 2021, 5:39pm

Hi, i am having this issue. On my VM(dynamically deployed Windows Jenkins Node to Azure) i need have older version of Java (jdk-8u131). This version is no longer supported. Therefore i am trying to install newer Java before SonarScan and MSBuild is executed, but for whatever reason Sonar pick up always the older one. Example of Pipeline:

 stage('PreBuild') {
		dir(env.DirRoot) {										
					bat 'powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -File SonarInstallJavaJRE11.ps1'
		}
		run_build_step("1_PerformPreBuild", "PREBUILD")
	}
	stage('Begin SonarQube + Build') {
		if (env.SonarQube.toBoolean()) {  
			withCredentials([string(credentialsId: 'XXX', variable: 'sq_secret')]){	
			
				def sq_home = tool 'SonarScannerFW4.6MS410'
				def sq_scanner = "\"$sq_home\\SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe\""

				def sq_login = "/d:\"sonar.login=$sq_secret\""

				env.SQ_RUN = "true"
				env.SQ_BEGIN = "$sq_scanner begin /k:XXXXX /o:XXXX /d:\"sonar.branch.name=${BRANCH_NAME}\" /d:sonar.showProfiling=true /d:sonar.log.level=TRACE /d:sonar.skipPackageDesign=true $sq_login $sq_exclusions $sq_file_suffixes $sq_test_params"
				env.SQ_END = "$sq_scanner end $sq_login"
			}
		}
			withSonarQubeEnv('Sonar') {
				run_build_step("2_PerformBuild", "BUILD") 
			}
	}	

SonarInstallJavaJRE11.ps1: 
.. download JDK11.. install .. replace:
$path = $Env:Path
$newpath = $path.replace("C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;","")
$env:Path = $newpath
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("JAVA_HOME", "c:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.9\", "Machine")
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("JAVA_HOME_11_X64", "c:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.9", "Machine")
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", $Env:Path + ";c:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.9\bin", "Machine")
$Env:Path += ";c:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.9\bin"

PATH result: echo $Env:Path
C:\windows\system32;C:\windows;C:\windows\System32\Wbem;C:\windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\windows\System32\OpenSSH;C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd;C:\Program Files\dotnet;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\130\Tools\Binn;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Performance Toolkit;C:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile.dnx\bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft DNX\Dnvm;c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn;c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn;c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn;C:\Users\Toad\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;C:\Users\Toad.dotnet\tools;C:\Program Files\OpenSSH-Win64;C:\windows\ServiceProfiles\SSHD\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;C:\Users\Toad\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;;c:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.9\bin;C:\Users\Toad\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;

Java_home: attachment java

wrapper.conf cannot be located
-sonar-project.properties doesnt hava java property

But still i am getting:

Thank you for any advice.

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

Is $JAVA_HOME set in this environment? And if so, does it point to the old Java version?

Hi,
thank you!
Yes, JAVA_HOME is set and pointing to the new version. java

ganncamp · January 13, 2021, 7:21pm

Hi,

That’s what I get for skimming. I see you made that clear in your OP. I’ve added the dotnet tag to this to draw the attention of the folks who are actually competent to speak in this area.

Thanks.
So nobody any idea how to set JAVA for SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe?

Hi @J_K

It looks like the JAVA_HOME variable is not persisted (or this is another session) between your stages.

I would try to set it again in the “Begin SonarQube + Build” to see if that changes something.

Let me know.

Thanks.

J_K · January 19, 2021, 12:21pm

OK, i can try.
Thank you.

Andrei_Epure · March 1, 2021, 2:58pm

hi @J_K - did you manage to have it working?

J_K · March 1, 2021, 3:20pm

Hi, well i did. But its not a solution i would like. I wasnt able to run Sonar MSbuild on newer Java when installed side by side with older Java.
I had to update the older Java on the VM, that introduce me to more stability issues (like this) of the Jenkins Node in Azure.

Andrei_Epure · March 15, 2021, 4:08pm

Thank you for your feedback. I will start an internal discussion around this.

Andrei_Epure · March 16, 2021, 3:10pm

@J_K - quick clarification - could you reproduce the problem locally or did it happen only on the Jenkins environment?

J_K · March 16, 2021, 4:35pm

The issue of setting JavaRE for the SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe only occurred in Jenkins Pipeline.
I guess it was running inside a sandbox environment, where i couldn’t override the java_home or set default Java for sonar in any way.

Andrei_Epure · May 25, 2021, 1:59pm

Hi, I will close this topic as it seems to be specific more to the Jenkins environment than our product.

Please open a new topic if you believe there is something on our side to improve.

Thank you!
