As noted in the Requirements documentation, Java 17 is required to start the server.

Based on the error message, you have Java 11 installed.

Hey there.

java.lang.IllegalStateException: failed to obtain node locks, tried [D:\Users\2014283\SonarQube\sonarqube-10.0.0.68432\sonarqube-10.0.0.68432\data\es8]; maybe these locations are not writable or multiple nodes were started on the same data path?

It seems you either have tried to start multiple SonarQube instances against the same database, or something has corrupted your data/es8 folder (you can try deleting it and restarting).

If you have an issue around scanning, please open a new thread.

Hello,

Error: LinkageError occurred while loading main class org.sonarsource.scanner.cli.Main
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/sonarsource/scanner/cli/Main has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 61.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 55.0
The SonarScanner did not complete successfully

Configured the JDK 11, because it is SonarQube 8.9 LTS version.

Where am I getting wrong, please help me to reach out of this.

Thanks

I face the same error like that :

and I installed a recent Java version

but I try to solve it with different versions like Java 8 and 11 also but it doesn’t work how to resolve

[writetonikhil (Nikhil Kulkarni)]

But in this doc it is mentioned that JRE is auto-provisioned for sonar cli 6.0 and above. SonarScanner requirements | SonarQube Server Documentation
Why do we still have to install it explicitly?

I too am getting same error when my latest cli tries to connect to latest sonarqube server in my old Java 11 env.

Hey @writetonikhil

There’s a few other things you have to keep in mind – like you must be using SonarQube v10.6+.

Instead of bumping this old thread, I suggest you raise a new thread with more deatils (version of SQ used, logs that show off the scanner version and the error)
