Hello Sonar Community -

I have just upgraded our SonarQube Application to 10.6 from 10.0. The upgrade was successful, but we ran into issue while running the sonar analysis.

We are using the below java version
openjdk version “17.0.11” 2024-04-16 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (Red_Hat-17.0.11.0.9-3) (build 17.0.11+9-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (Red_Hat-17.0.11.0.9-3) (build 17.0.11+9-LTS, mixed mode, sharing)

While running the analysis we ran into issue
ERROR: Error during SonarScanner execution
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/sonar/batch/bootstrapper/EnvironmentInformation has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 61.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 55.0

Can someone help on this ?

Thanks

Hi,

means your Sonarqube analysis runs on Java 11, but it needs to run with Java 17, see

Thanks for that. What’s the workaround for this ? Can we point scanner to the java17 we have installed on the box ? Sorry I just started learning sonarqube and don’t know the next steps for this.

Yes, just make sure the Sonarqube analysis runs with Java 17.
It might be compiled with Java 8, but it’s all about the Sonarqube scan runs with Java 17.
