Hi,

I’ve edited your title down to a more manageable summary.

There aren’t a lot of details here. Can you provide the details in the bug template?:

Hi,

You might want to re-download/re-install SonarScanner for .NET. That file is supposed to be part of the bundle. Not only does it need to be there, but you need to edit it, as described in the docs.

 
HTH,

I ran these two steps is there anything else that I need to do? Also is there a way to make the scanner use a specific java version without setting the JAVA_HOME at the system level?

  • Add $install_directory to your PATH environment variable.

.NET Core Global Tool

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-sonarscanner --version x.x.x

after we upgraded java and restarted the servers it started working. sorry for the delay, I was waiting on confirmation from the customer.
thanks for all your help! :slight_smile:

OH and is there a way to make the scanner use a specific java version without setting the JAVA_HOME at the system level?
For instance on the SonarQube server(Linux) we modified the wrapper file to use as specific java version and not the default system version.
Can we do this in the msbuild(windows server) as well? possibly with the sonarqube-properties file?
we have multiple apps running on this server.
thanks again.

Hi,

Setting it as a property isn’t going to do any good because properties are read after the scanner starts up & by that time the version of Java is already in use.

Perhaps you could set the envvar per process?
