SonarScanner 6.x: breaking change 'sonar.host.url'

SonarQube Server / Community Build
1

Hi,

There was a breaking change in scanner parameter sonar.host.url:

  • for SonarScanner CLI from v6.0, .NET from v7.0, and NPM from v4.0: https://sonarcloud.io
  • for older versions of the SonarScanner CLI, .NET, and NPM: http://localhost:9000
  • for execution with a local host, the parameter must now be set explicitly

Got the message below in LOG file:

Things should be improved:

  • There is no meaningful message in the LOG file, only an exception
  • Change is not easy to find in the documentation if you start looking on SonarScanner CLI page (SonarScanner CLI). On this page is no link to the parameter page (Analysis parameters).

Günter

Hello @guwirth ,

Thanks for pointing this out,

We took a look at this and we indeed think we can (and will) improve how we communicate relevant changes in our scanner release notes.

Cheers
Benjamin

Hello @guwirth,
Thanks for your input. We’ve created an internal ticket to improve the SonarScanner CLI page in Sonar docs.
