Sonarsource/sonar-scanner-cli:latest, java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError and CheckRegistrar

SonarQube Server / Community Build

I use the container: sonarsource/sonar-scanner-cli:latest why does this fail.

https://binaries.sonarsource.com/Distribution/sonar-scanner-cli/sonar-scanner-cli-6.2.1.4610-windows-x64.zip
which works fine from local.

From the latest tag I see it it shares hash with the 11.1.1.1661_6.2.1 tag which should be the same.

Identical sonar-project.properties file

Hey there.

It looks like your issue is coming from a third-party plugin. You’ll probably want to get in touch directly with them to report any issues.

But we do not have this plugin in our sonarqube and I use the default sonar-scanner container.
GitHub - QualInsight/qualinsight-plugins-sonarqube-smell: Code Smells plugin for SonarQube and companion Java library seems to be quite dead.

If you turn on DEBUG logging I’m pretty sure you’ll see it being downloaded from your server. -Dsonar.verbose=true
