Properties from properties file ignored with SonarQube Scanner 4.0.0.1744

SonarQube Server / Community Build

Hello,
I am evaluating the Enterprise version of SonarQube v7.9.1
My company is most interested in “C Family” analysis.
I used the wrapper to generate the directory “sonar_wrapper_outdir”, but attempts to scan the results always fails.
My properties file looks like this:

sonar.projectKey=com.myco.myproj
sonar.projectName=myproj
sonar.projectVersion=1.0
sonar.sources=.
sonar.cfamily.build-wrapper-output=sonar_wrapper_outdir
sonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8

My scanner command looks like this:
sonar-scanner.bat -X -Dsonar.host.url=tmpsonar:9000 -Dsonar.projectkey=com.myco.myproj -Dsonar.host.url=http://tmpsonar:9000 -Dproject.settings=.\myproj_Sonar.Properties

The output looks like this–except that I performed some global replacements to obscure anything specific to my company. I also shortened it a bit by inserting “…etc…” in a few places. Note in the output that the scanner acknowledges the existence of my “Project root configuration file”, but does not use its settings (note the final line of the output which complains that sonar.projectKey is “Unknown” even though it is set in my properties file).

What am I doing wrong?

It looks like a problem with installed plugins or version of the SonarScanner. Use the latest version of SonarScanner and check if your all your plugins are compatible with your server version :wink:

Thank you for your reply Adam.
I double checked that all plugins are up-to-date. SonarCFamily 6.3(build 11371).
The scanner is the most current available, 4.0.0.1744-windows.
The problem persists.

I noticed that there is a sonar-scanner-debug.bat, so I tried executing that instead of the sonar-scanner.bat, but it seems to hang here:
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 8000

Hi,

What catches my eye in this:

Is “-Dproject.settings=…”. As far as I know, this has never been a recognized property. The dead giveaway here is that it doesn’t start with sonar.. :slight_smile: That’s probably why you’re having to specify project key on the command line; your project properties aren’t being read.

Also, since your analysis logs show that your global settings are being picked up, there ought to be no need to specify the the host URL on the command line.

I recommend you move your properties file to the standard name/location: sonar-project.properties in the project root, and try reanalyzing with a simpler command line: sonar-scanner.bat.

 
HTH,
Ann

Thank you Ann.

Prompting me to move things to a more standard location may have been the thing that helped most.
Previously, my properties file was in a subdirectory of the Git repository–close to the VStudio solutions file (i.e., it was on D:\repos\myproj-Developer\subd1\subd2\subd3\subd4\subd5.\myproj_Sonar.Properties).

I moved myproj_Sonar.Properties to D:\repos\myproj-Developer\sonar-project.properties (i.e., to the standard name at the root of the repo) and the scan succeeded with:
sonar-scanner.bat -X -Dsonar.host.url=http://tmpsonar:9000

I’ll also note that the scan succeed with a properties file using the non-default name. So, after renaming sonar-project.properties to myproj_Sonar.Properties (still at the root of the repo), the scan succeed with:
sonar-scanner.bat -X -Dsonar.host.url=http://tmpsonar:9000 -Dproject.settings=myproj_Sonar.Properties

The -Dproject.settings property is used by the “SonarQube Scanner for Jenkins” plugin. That’s where I saw its usage.

It’s odd to me that I needed to run the scanner from the root of the Git repository, but, for now, I’ll accept that and move on. I’m happy to be making some progress.

Hi,

I’m glad you got this working. Just for the record, I want to point out that normally your sonar.host.url would be configured in the scanner’s own global configuration file, eliminating the need to specify it on the command line.
