ltsVersion seems wrong as it is not listed in SonarQube versions

  • we are using SonarQube Developer Edition v2025.1.1
  • deployed by means of zip on an on-premise server
  • The logs show the following error after restart
ltsVersion seems wrong as it is not listed in SonarQube versions

I have found this curl command in a similar previous thread (" ltsVersion should be defined " error - #5 by Srini1 )

curl -i https://downloads.sonarsource.com/sonarqube/update/update-center.properties

This returns the properties file.
I see in there the following:

ltaVersion=2025.1.1
ltsVersion=2025.1.1

This seems to be correct. What is causing the error? Is the error something to worry about or can we just ignore it?

Hi @mydeveloperplanet ,

Unfortunately we can not reproduce the issue you are experiencing. Please have in mind that this error is usually nothing to be extremely worried about - it serves more as a warning to indicate that reading of the update center file from the Internet didn’t go according to plan. However it is still entirely possible that your Marketplace feature in SonarQube as well as notifications about new SonarQube versions work as expected.

That being said it would help us if you could answer following questions to troubleshoot this in the future in case more users would start reporting it:

  1. Is this the only error that is listed in your web.log?
  2. Are you sure that SonarQube server can download the file: https://downloads.sonarsource.com/sonarqube/update/update-center.properties and there are no networking issues (i.e. some firewall blocking the call) ? I assume the curl has been done from your local machine. The user in the linked thread seemingly was able to fix the issue by solving the networking.

Thanks for your fast reply.

No, this is not the only problem:

And I am able to retrieve the update-center.properties file without any problem via curl. I executed it from the SonarQube server, thus not from my local machine. And this works just fine. So, I assume everything is working as expected.
