Tasks support was removed after downloading plugin

I’m having trouble to run the scanner. I tried running the scanner like sonar-scanner -X -Dsonar.projectKey=my-project -Dsonar.host.url=xxxx:9000 -Dsonar.login=the key I generated on the UI , I am getting an error message of this:

Any advices would help! Thanks

Hi,

Double-check your command line. You probably have an extra space somewhere in an argument so that it’s being read not as -Darg.key=argValue but as -Darg.key=arg totallyDifferentArg, and that second, ‘totallyDifferentArg’ is being interpreted as a task name (and indeed, tasks are no longer supported).

 
HTH,
