Currently sonar-scanner always use ~/.sonar/cache as cache directory (along with .scannerwork). It does makes sense to cache both of those directories for CI/CD pipelines, but most of them does not allow to cache directories outside of working dir.
It would be great to have an option to set cache location like so:
sonar-scanner -Dcache=.cache
Hi
you’re right, it seems this option is missing.
Sonarlint has such an environment variable = SONARLINT_USER_HOME
For Sonar scanner i only know SONAR_SCANNER_HOME and SONAR_SCANNER_OPTS
If there ain’t a similar environment variable for Sonar scanner you might use a symbolic link !?

Hi,
You can use SONAR_USER_HOME. This will change location of ~/.sonar.
Hi @Julien_HENRY Julien, I’ve tried this in the jenkins slave but doesn’t seem to work is there any other way to change the cache location? Please suggest.Thanks!

in Azure devops also same problem. The .sonar/_cache is getting creatd in /home/user directory where we dont have enough space. Not sure how to change this location from our sonarqube task pipeline yaml
I am trying the sonar runner in Bamboo and I have found this exact problem as well. Nothing I can set will change the location of the cache directory.
