SonarScanner config issue in Gitlab CI

SonarQube
1

Must-share information (formatted with Markdown):

  • SonarQube Docker image Community edition 8.7.0, Sonar Scanner latest image
  • I have setup sonarqube in a docker container. After adding the sonar-check stage in Gitlab CI, the scanner is not executing the stage properly. Gitlab Runner is running on the docker environment.
    following error is being thrown:
    /bin/bash: line 118: docker: command not found
    My guess runner is trying to execute the docker info command inside sonarscanner docker image.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Setup ur project on sonarqube.
  2. Configure Analysis with Gitlab CI
  3. Build Technology Other
  4. Configure sonar-project.properties file
  5. Add other environment variables
  6. Copy gitlab configuration from sonarqube, paste it in .gitlab-ci.yml file.

Hi, welcome to the community forum.

If I understand correctly, you are running Gitlab Runner in a docker container, and try to use the docker scanner image. That means that your dockerized Gitlab Runner needs to be able to spawn other docker containers, with a privileged mode.

If my understanding is correct, then what you need is to enable the dind service, for Docker IN Docker. Documentation is here

yup sure, thanks, I will try this.

Unfortunately same error, even though my runners are running in privileged mode and I have added the
services:
- docker:dind
line in my gitlab yml file

Could we have a look at your .gitlab-ci.yml job?
