SonarScanner on MacOS using Jenkins job

[viraj1 (Viraj)]

Hi there,

I am new to SonarQube and would appreciate your help.

I am using sonarqube-8.9.10.61524 on my local Mac computer. I plan to run sonar scan using jenkins for my code. I have setup the tooling in my Jenkins and have set the path for MSBUILD_SQ_SCANNER_HOME as /Users/macintosh12/.jenkins/tools/hudson.plugins.sonar.MsBuildSQRunnerInstallation/SonarMSBuild

However when I try to run the scan, I receive this message: /Users/macintosh12/.jenkins/tools/hudson.plugins.sonar.MsBuildSQRunnerInstallation/SonarMSBuild/SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe: cannot execute binary file

This snippet is from one of the stages in my Jenkinsfile:

stage('Begin SonarQube Analysis') 
				{
					steps 
					{
						script 
						{
							sqScannerMsBuildHome = tool 'SonarMSBuild'
						}
						withSonarQubeEnv('MySonar') 
						{
							sh "${sqScannerMsBuildHome}/SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe begin /k:Persona /d:sonar.host.url=%SONAR_HOST_URL% /d:sonar.login=****** /d:sonar.password=******"
						}
					}
				}

I am not sure if .exe would work on mac, How do I fix this?

Thanks!

Hey there.

You aren’t going to be able to run a .exe on a Mac.

What language(s) are you trying to analyze?

Make sure you upgrade to SonarQube v9.9 LTS soon, not only to benefit from our Best LTS Ever™, but because soon we will systematically ask users to upgrade when they ask questions about earlier versions of SonarQube, which are now considered unsupported.

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

Are you able to build the project on your Mac?

Apologies for the delay, I was able to solve the issue by adding mono at the beginning of my script, this was able to successfully scan my project. I am using MSBuild for a c# project.

In case someone is facing the same issue, here is my fix:

sh "mono ${sqScannerMsBuildHome}/SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe begin /k:project-Key /d:sonar.host.url=http://localhost:9000 /d:sonar.login=****** /d:sonar.password=******"

Thank you.
