Sonarscan fails during 'Load Active rules'

[White (White Seeker)]

Hi,

I’m trying to run sonar scan for my code with in jenkins, but my job is failing with the following logs.

I have checked the sonar credentials, plugins & sonar properties, everything seems to be at place, not sure where is the exact issue. I have also restarted both sonarqube server and jenkins. Can someone please help out here?

Jenkins version: 2.387
Sonarqube version: 8.9.10 Community
Sonarscanner version: 4.2.0.1873

Hi,

while the Jenkins version is quite topical, the versions of Sonarqube and the scanner are outdated.
You need to update to Sonarqube 9.9.1 LTS or (optional) to latest 10.1
Upgrade path is straight 8.9.10 > 9.9.1 > 10.1

! Note that Sonarqube server 9.x needs to run with Java 17 and the Sonar scan with either
Java 11 or 17

The recent Sonar CLI scanner version is 4.8.0
see SonarScanner

Hi, thanks for the response.
But I created docker container of jenkins and sonarqube with same versions and there it seems to be working fine. Which means it shouldn’t be a version incompatibility issue right?

Also, i tried installing Sonar scanner cli 4.8 version in local, and it’s throwing the same error

ok, searching this forum via

shows similar cases, this might be helpful

Failed to load quality profiles - Sonarqube docker container

Hi @astump welcome to the community! I can share hints about what is happening but without the full logs from both sides (scanner and SonarQube), it’s difficult to provide you with a definitive answer. The -X scanner parameter activates DEBUG logs; but you only shared (partially) a single log at ERROR level. There are two known causes for such problem: Network connectivity (certificates, proxy, address…), to check your connectivity you may look for the scanner requests in the SonarQube serv…

It’s fixed, thanks anyway.
There was some issue with loading the custom quality profile. Changed it to default sonar way and it seems to be working fine.
