I’m interested in running Sonar on a project I have that doesn’t include traditional source or binaries (.class files). The project is a collection of Kubernetes helm charts, and we’re using Cucumber BDD to execute test cases against the services those charts provide. An example would be testing Kafka.
We have Java projects that use Cucumber for BDD testing with Sonar. Sonar scans those projects source, .class files, and also imports the output of Cucumber.
We would like to continue this with the Helm only projects and use Sonar to bring the Cucumber BDD results into Sonar.
The problem we’re running into is that Sonar is erroring out if there’s no path set to .class files. Here’s the message.

ERROR: Error during SonarQube Scanner execution
ERROR: Please provide compiled classes of your project with sonar.java.binaries property
ERROR:
ERROR: Re-run SonarQube Scanner using the -X switch to enable full debug logging.
I’ve looked through the command line options and the various sonar. properties and didn’t see anything that looked like it would help.
Short of creating a dummy .java and .class file, is there any way that I can run the sonar scanner (or some other sonar tool) to just bring in my BDD test results?
When I read your title, I thought you were trolling us.
Reading the body, it makes more sense.
You wouldn’t be getting this error if analysis didn’t find some .java files in the project. For instance, you can analyse PHP projects all day long and never see this. SonarJava got “turned on” but the presence of some file that it thinks it should analyze, and then its normal limitations / requirements kicked in.
So… the “right” thing to do would be to figure out why SonarJava is being invoked during analysis and either provide the relevant class files or remove the .java file. The easy thing to do is probably to set a file exclusion on **/*.java or to edit (at the project level only) which file extensions it pays attention to.
Thanks for replying. When someone first asked me about sonar scanning this project, I was a little surprised too.
I was under the impression that I had already gotten Sonar to bring in Cucumber/BDD reports. Now, I’m not so sure about that.
Can you tell me how or where cucumber would look to find cucumber (or any extrernal tool’s) reports? Here’s my complete output from my last run. The cucumber files are in bdd and I’ve verified that after the cucumber tests run, bdd/target exists along with a directory structure.

To analyze cucumber files, you need a cucumber analyzer (“how much wood could a woodchuck chuck…”? ). Several years ago one was available in the community, but it was subsequently withdrawn by its author & I don’t believe it has been replaced. So… I’m not sure how/whether you really are analyzing cucumber files. I ignored the point in my initial response because it didn’t seem relevant to the main question.
Thanks. It was my error. I said I had it working in one case when I didn’t actually. I think I was mis-remembering jacoco; I know I’ve got that working. Anyhow, thanks for your help.
