Sonar-scanner fails during travis build : please consider upgrading to latest JaCoCo version

SonarQube Server / Community Build

Hello

I have an error when building a Java+Gradle project using Travis CI (see error log below).
It fails when using sonar-scanner.
My project (a very simple project for experimenting things) is :

Before (July 2018 from the activity tracked on SonarCloud) the build was ok (and data sent to SonarCloud) using these plugins:

  • org.jacoco:jacoco-maven-plugin:0.7.9
  • org.sonarqube.gradle:gradle-sonarqube-plugin:1.0

I tried to use new versions of the plugins but it is still failing:

  • org.jacoco:jacoco-maven-plugin:0.8.2
  • org.sonarsource.scanner.gradle:sonarqube-gradle-plugin:2.7

Has someone also experienced this?

The error log is:

Hi,

I don’t know what you mean by

because in GitHub - pascalpoizat/template-java-project at 98f223f89c55fdf0151fe23318f82f63a2be69e6 you have project that uses Gradle,
and hence uses JaCoCo Plugin for Gradle - The JaCoCo Plugin So that version of JaCoCo is either should be specified in build.gradle:

jacoco {
  toolVersion = '0.8.2'
}

or default will be used, which depends on version of Gradle, because JaCoCo Plugin for Gradle is part of Gradle project and its distribution. For example 0.8.1 is default in Gradle 4.7, which is BTW a way newer than Gradle 2.10 used in your project.

Furthermore https://github.com/pascalpoizat/template-java-project/blob/98f223f89c55fdf0151fe23318f82f63a2be69e6/.travis.yml#L26 clearly indicates that in Travis you use sonar-scanner and not sonarqube-gradle-plugin. To use the last one you should execute corresponding Gradle task - gradlew sonarqube.

Hope this helps.

Hi Evgeny.

First of all a big thank you for your help.
I have now:

  • updated my gradle wrapper to 5.0
  • added the correct JaCoCo version in my gradle build file
  • used the sonarqube gradle target instead of sonar-scanner
  • also: corrected a wrong path in my sonar-project.properties and added some path set up in my .travis.yml

Indeed I used the information from here https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/sonarcloud/ and then updated the plugins (as explained in my post) without reading the new one documentation (my bad). I will update the README I wrote for my students so that they get the correct information to set up the use of SonarQube in local or using SonarCloud + Travis CI following the solutions you gave to me.

Again, a big thank to you for helping me on this.

Pascal
