SonarQube server fails to start in 10.2.1 due to Elasticsearch error

eblack · October 26, 2023, 8:29pm

Must-share information:

which versions are you using (SonarQube, Scanner, Plugin, and any relevant extension)
Coming from SonarQube 9.9.2 to 10.2.1 on CentOS 8, with Java 17 and JAVA_HOME is set correctly
how is SonarQube deployed: zip, Docker, Helm:
Zip

SonarQube works just fine with 9.9.2 and has no issues. We are trying to update to 10.2.1. When trying to start the server with ./sonar.sh start, the service will start. But when it tries to start Elasticsearch, if fails because it is looking for tools.jar in Java 11 for some reason (which does not exist). Elasticsearch is also started with Java 17 so I am not sure why it is even searching in a Java 11 directory. Below are the nohup.log, sonar.log, and es.log files.

I am honestly pretty new to SonarQube all together, but I upgraded us from 9.9.0 to 9.9.2 with no issues. But this is a bit beyond what I know how to fix. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

Are you sure you’re starting SonarQube with Java 17? Could you provide full server logs, from startup?

Thx,
Ann

Hi Ann,

Thanks for your help. Wouldn’t the 3rd line of the nohup log imply it is actually starting Elasticsearch with Java 17?

2023.10.26 15:40:05 INFO  app[][o.s.a.ProcessLauncherImpl] Launch process[ELASTICSEARCH] from [/home/sonarqube/sonarqube-10.2.1.78527/elasticsearch]: /usr/local/jdk-17.0.6+10/bin/java -Xms4m -Xmx64m -XX:+UseSerialGC -Dcli.name=server -Dcli.script=./bin/elasticsearch -Dcli.libs=lib/tools/server-cli -Des.path.home=/home/sonarqube/sonarqube-10.2.1.78527/elasticsearch -Des.path.conf=/home/sonarqube/sonarqube-10.2.1.78527/temp/conf/es -Des.distribution.type=tar -cp /home/sonarqube/sonarqube-10.2.1.78527/elasticsearch/lib/*:/home/sonarqube/sonarqube-10.2.1.78527/elasticsearch/lib/cli-launcher/* org.elasticsearch.launcher.CliToolLauncher

Tools.jar isn’t actually a part of Java 11jdk, so why is it even looking for that in the first place?
Again, I am pretty new to SonarQube, but why would 9.9.2 start correctly, but 10.2.1 fail when using the same version of Java?
Which server logs are you referring to?

Again, thanks for you your help. It is very much appreciated.

ganncamp · October 30, 2023, 3:27pm

Hi,

SonarQube 9.9.2 supports Java 11. SonarQube 10.2 does not.

Here’s where to find your server logs.

Ann

eblack · October 30, 2023, 4:04pm

Hey Ann,

JAVA_HOME is set to to our Java 17 path /usr/local/jdk-17.0.6+10. You can see below that we are indeed using Java 17.

[sonarqube@sonarqube ~]$ java -version
openjdk version "17.0.6" 2023-01-17
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-17.0.6+10 (build 17.0.6+10)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-17.0.6+10 (build 17.0.6+10, mixed mode, sharing)

This is why I am confused about 10.2.1 referring to Java 11 at all. And even then, tools.jar which has never been a thing in Java 11.

I’m posting the full logs, but they show nothing different, only the same thing three times in a row from trying to do this 3 times. nohup.log only shows the last startup so the full log is in my first post. I also have no web log since the server never actually gets started.

Hi,

Could I have the full set of server logs from startup, please?

Thx,
Ann

eblack · October 30, 2023, 4:11pm

Ann,

Those are the only logs I have. There are no other logs. If you are looking for another log, can you please be more specific about which logs and where to find them? I’ve uploaded the logs this time instead of copied them inline, and I have uploaded a screenshot to show there are no more logs in the log folder.

Hi,

Thanks for the logs. Is your Java 17 a JRE or JDK?

Thx,
Ann

eblack · October 30, 2023, 4:48pm

Thanks Ann,

Java 17 JDK

Hi,

Thanks. I’m not sure where to go from here, so I’m going to flag this for more expert eyes.

leo.geoffroy · November 8, 2023, 5:49pm

Hello @eblack ,

On the environment where SonarQube is running (I deducted it was Linux), could you please check if the following environment variable has some values?
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Thanks

eblack · November 9, 2023, 2:37pm

Hi @leo.geoffroy

That environment variable is not set. Should it be? JAVA_HOME is the only environment variable I have set.

leo.geoffroy · November 9, 2023, 3:58pm

Hi @eblack,

No it is not supposed to be set, but from your logs, it seems that there is something in your system that implicitly adds some libraries to the classpath of java. (and namely, the /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-11.0.9.11-0.el8_2.x86_64/lib/tools.jar file which is absent on your system)

Indeed, the JarHell component of ElasticSearch (where the issue occurs) is scanning the classpath in search of duplicate classes, but fails because it cannot find one jar that is in the classpath (tools.jar).

My assumption was you had something specified in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which is a way to add arbitrary jar files to the java classpath.

Could you try to execute SonarQube in debug mode, by adding sonar.log.level=DEBUG in sonar.properties file, and post the log files here? It should give more information on where this /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-11.0.9.11-0.el8_2.x86_64/lib/tools.jar file comes from

Also, are you sure that file /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-11.0.9.11-0.el8_2.x86_64/lib/tools.jar doesn’t exist in your system? Could it be that the user executing sonarqube has no permission to this file?

eblack · November 9, 2023, 7:29pm

Hey @leo.geoffroy

Since the logs are now quite a bit longer, I am going to attach them instead of pasting them as text. Here are the logs after I tried starting with DEBUG logging. Hopefully this helps.

There is indeed something on your system that is polluting the java class path, with what I believe is some paths from your old java 11 binaries that have been removed.

You need to identify what is causing that on your system and make the changes so those old paths are not added to the java classpath anymore (you can start by checking the CLASSPATH env variable: echo $CLASSPATH)

Thanks for your help. I have found that in /etc/profile.d/java11.sh the classpath is set there.

export JAVA_HOME=$(dirname $(dirname $(readlink $(readlink $(which javac)))))
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib:$JAVA_HOME/lib:$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar

I’m not sure what the classpath should be or if it is actually needed. I also find it odd, that this still works with sonarqube 9.9.x (both 9.9.0 and 9.9.2) and only started doing this when moving to sonarqube 10.2.1. Do you know why this would be?

@leo.geoffroy

I removed the classpath environment variable and I was able to get SonarQube 10.2.1 up. Thanks so much. But also, if that needs to be there or replaced for any reason, please let me know.

Glad you could fix it!

Whether you need the classpath to be set or not is very specific to your distribution, and the way Java is installed on your system.
Regarding why it was not happening in 9.9.2: we update ElasticSearch regularly along with SonarQube, so it is most likely that the check causing the error has been introduced in the latest version of ElasticSearch
