Sonar Gradle plugin 3.1.1: missing module files

[fmartinou]

Hi,

Our Gradle builds are broken since we upgraded from
org.sonarsource.scanner.gradle:sonarqube-gradle-plugin:3.1 to org.sonarsource.scanner.gradle:sonarqube-gradle-plugin:3.1.1

Versions used

• Sonar Server: 7.9.4 (build 35981) Community edition
• Sonar Gradle plugin: 3.1.1

Error observed

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'xxx'.
> Could not resolve all artifacts for configuration ':classpath'.
   > Could not resolve org.sonarsource.scanner.gradle:sonarqube-gradle-plugin:3.1.1.

We observed that starting from version 3.1.1 on the Maven Central , there is no more module file.

We’re using Nexus to cache our artifacts.
Since there is no more module file, Nexus is responding with a weird html content wich causes the metadata JSON parser to fail

Could you explain me:

• Why there is no more module files on the central? Is that intentional?
• Do we need to change something in our Gradle conf to be able to upgrade from 3.1 to 3.1.1?

What a vibrant community…
Anyway, the issue seems to be fixed in the ‘3.2.0’ version.

If someone knows what happened with the previous version ‘3.1.1’, I’m still interested to understand
