We are building a QNX application using make.
Then we are sonar scanning with
C:\sonar-scanner-3.3.0.1492-windows\bin\sonar-scanner.bat -X ‘-Dsonar.host.url=https://sonarqube.xxx.com’ ‘-Dsonar.projectKey=YYY’ ‘-Dsonar.projectName=ZZZ’ ‘-Dsonar.sources=.’ '-Dsonar.login=******’ ‘-Dsonar.cfamily.build-wrapper-output=C:\BuildWrapper’ ‘-Dsonar.projectBaseDir=C:\Projects\QNX\QNX\TargetBuild_Debug’ ‘-Dsonar.sourceEnconding=UTF-8’ ‘-Dsonar.c.file.suffixes=.c’ ‘-Dsonar.cpp.file.suffixes=.h,.cpp’ ‘-Dsonar.verbose=true’

sonar-scanner fails with ERROR: Error during SonarQube Scanner execution java.lang.NullPointerException at com.sonar.cpp.analyzer.StdFlags.fromCppMacros(StdFlags.java:23)

Hi @shanz1999,

what version of SonarCFamily plugin are you using?

3

sonar-cfamily-plugin-6.2.0.11201

everything was working with: sonar-cfamily-plugin-5.1.0.10083.jar

Hello @shanz1999,

could you please update the analyzer to version 6.3.0.11371 and rerun?

5

How do I do that?

We currently have -

C:\sonar-scanner- 3.3.0.1492 -windows

And the Build machine uses

RUN Invoke-WebRequest https://sonarcloud.io/static/cpp/build-wrapper-win-x86.zip

Which is version

build-wrapper-win-x86-64.exe --version

build-wrapper, version 6.3 (win-x86-64)

The server shows
Version 6.7.5 (build 38563).

That is not under my control.

Hello @shanz1999,

you can ask your SonarQube administrator to update version of SonarCFamily to 6.3.0.11371.
