  • ALM used: Bitbucket
  • CI system used: Jenkins / Docker / Podman
  • Scanner command used when applicable: see below
  • Languages of the repository: Java + multiple others
  • SonarCloud project is public: no
  • Error observed: no error
  • Potential workaround: n/a

We run our Sonar Analysis in a containerized CLI (using SonarCloud), when looking at the logs, I see:
and outdated version (8.0.0.52441) of SonarCube (not SonarCloud) mentioned. The results actually end up in SonarCloud.

podman -r run -t --rm \
-v /MYCODE:/usr/src \
-w /usr/src/ \
-e SONAR_HOST_URL=http://sonarcloud.io \
-e SONAR_TOKEN=**** \
-e SONAR_SCANNER_OPTS=OURSCANNEROPTIONS \
sonarsource/sonar-scanner-cli:5

I would expect SonarCloud to internally run on something newer,

Hi,

You’ve noticed a vestigial artifact. When SonarCloud was born, it shared a code base with SonarQube. Eventually (during the SonarQube 8.0 cycle) the code bases split. Some of the analyzers say SonarQube 8.0, as you’ve noted, and some say SonarCloud, with a more up-to-date version.

We’ve actually had some internal discussion on this topic, recently, and there are tickets in to do something about it. But in the meantime, it’s harmless and can be safely ignored.

 
HTH,
Ann
