EDIT (2025-10-24): The post was edited to point to the latest release of the scanner 7.0.1 which is functionally identical to 7.0.0 but updates the signature files made available on the Gradle plugin portal.
TL;DR: Release 7.0.1 brings basic support for Gradle 9. Please beware that this release targets users who encountered issues in project configuration after migrating to Gradle 9. Users of version 6.3.1 who did not experience any issues are encouraged to upgrade with caution.
We are pleased to announce the release of the SonarScanner for Gradle 7.0 now with basic support of Gradle 9. This new release improves scanner behavior by reducing cross-project configuration to a minimum. This change is designed to prevent crashes at configuration time previously reported by users who had migrated their codebase to Gradle 9.
While this technical change should not affect the quality or configuration of your analysis, your first analysis after migration might take slightly longer than previously due to the updated scanner configuration.
We encourage users whose analysis has been disrupted since migrating to Gradle 9 to try the SonarScanner Gradle version 7.0 and share their experience with us. Feedback from users who have not encountered any issue with previous versions of the scanner is also welcome. However, we advise these users to upgrade with caution, as some complex project configurations might lead to degraded analysis results in the form of a major drop in legitimate issues.
Should you encounter any issues with this new release, please open a new thread for discussion.
