Hi,

In former versions the sonar.java.binaries property has been optional but it’s obligatory for some time now. So you need to set this property for the analysis of Java projects.

see https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/analysis/languages/java/ for all details

Compiled .class files are required for java projects with more than one java file. If not provided properly, analysis will fail with the message:

Your project contains .java files, please provide compiled classes with sonar.java.binaries property, or exclude them from the analysis with sonar.exclusions property.

Hi Gilbert,
So sonar.java.binaries property should be defined inside sonar-scanner conf property file settings right ?

#4

Can you give me the example to declare sonar.java.binaries & its value ?

#5

Hi,

no, sonar.java.binaries is a property for the SonarJava code analyzer -
not for the Sonar scanner itself.
The $installdir/conf/sonar-scanner.properties has only the sonar.host.url

#6

You wrote it’s a java project, so i guess you’re using a build tool like Maven, Gradle or Ant !?
If you provide more details, e.g. which buildtool, does it run within Jenkins pipeline … etc. i may
give you specific hints.
