Not sure if this is the right place for this, if not please move it to the right place. The documentation here SonarScanner | SonarQube Docs has a missing space in the command for testing and analyzing a project. it has sonar-scanner -Dsonar.login=myAuthenticationToken when it should have sonar-scanner -D sonar.login=myAuthenticationToken. This caused me all sorts of trouble. If someone could fix this so no one has the same problem as me that would be awesome!
Welcome 
don’t know what was the real problem, but -Dkey=value is the correct syntax, means
there is no space between -D and the keyname.

All I can tell you is that when i ran the command with no space on a windows machine, I got the following error “ERROR: Unrecognized option: .login=token” and when I ran it with a space it worked. Maybe this is a windows vs. linux problem but I can tell you definitively, that with the zip file I downloaded from the documentation, I had to use the command with a space between d and the keyname to make it work correctly.
that may be the solution for your problem
