[SonarQube] Unable to scan a project locally

filiagees · November 26, 2020, 10:13pm

Hello all,

I’m evaluating SonarQube to check if it suits my company’s need, but I cannot scan our project.

I’m scanning with:

mvn sonar:sonar
-Dsonar.projectKey=…
-Dsonar.host.url=http://localhost:9000
-Dsonar.login=…

If I run this command with a project from github, it works; with this internal project, it doesn’t work.

It fails with an error:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:3.0.2:sonar (default-cli) on project _______ Unable to execute SonarQube: Fail to download libraries from server -> [Help 1]

But I have no idea why, because mvn can build normally.

Interestingly, this stacktrace shows:

at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged (Native Method)

My project is a multi-modules java application, built with maven. Our dependencies are managed by an internal artifact repository.
I’m running Sonar server (community edition - version 8.2 build 32929) through docker and using Java 1.8.0_221-b11.

Unfortunately, I got no extra information when tried to set flags like sonar.log.level/sonar.verbose.

Any help would be appreciated! :]

Hey there.

The version of the SonarScanner for Maven is too old, you should use a newer version.

mvn org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:3.7.0.1746:sonar

If you’re evaluating SonarQube, is there a reason you aren’t using the latest version?

I was using this version of Sonar server because I was following the github guide about custom rules.

After your suggestion, I’ve updated to sonar-maven-plugin:3.7.0.1746 and server to 8.5.1 (build 38104), but I’m still facing some issue.

When I run the:

mvn org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:3.7.0.1746:sonar
-Dsonar.projectKey=…
-Dsonar.host.url=http://localhost:9000
-Dsonar.login=…

Then, it fails with a message like:

…

For the sake of simplicity I did run this command in a small submodule.

What makes no sense to me, is that this module has no sonar.analysis.mode flag anywhere (this submodule doesn’t even declare Sonar as dependency; neither its parent).

Am I missing something?

Thanks for your help!
