While running sonar:sonar from maven to import custom generic report sonar fails with the following exception, anything missing or needs to be done in order to import custom generic reports?

  • When I run mvn sonar:sonar all works fine.
  • Even when I use the sample documentation report I got same exception

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

What version of the Scanner for Maven are you using? Do you have an old version pinned in your pom?

Thank you for your answer.

In maven log I can see :
[INFO] — sonar-maven-plugin:3.9.0.2155:sonar (default-cli)
[INFO] SonarQube version: 8.9.0

my sonar version is also 8.9.
Running this from command line, I’m not providing sonar version my pom, I added as mentioned in the documentation the sonar pluginGroup entry in the settings.xml

I’m trying using maven 3.5.0 and 3.6.0

Hi,

So it looks like the scanner and SonarQube itself are both up to date. What version of Java are you running analysis with? In fact, can you just provide the whole analysis log?

Hi,

You’re going to need to run analysis with Java 11. You can still build with (or to) Java 8 if you like, but you need to analyze with Java 11. (The docs.)

 
HTH,
Ann

Thank you very much Anna for your feedback. I think using Java 11 is not an option in my case, I will mark this solution is solved as I see reference to java 11 in the sonar log even though it is expected starting sonar 9. As a work around I will wrap my report in an PMD or checkstyle report and import it as such.
