Unable to execute SonarQube: Fail to download libraries from server

I’ve installed SonarCube Developer Version 8.9.3.48735 LTS on a new Server which I plan on activating with a trail licence key once I can see the coverage etc. The server is up and running using OpenJDK 11 and I can navigate to the project dashboard OK.

When I add a Sonar installation using the Manage Jenkins ==> configure ==> AddSonarCube option, I can add an entry to point to the above server.

When I edit the Jenkins build job, I can select the above installation from the drop down but I see the error below when the Jenkins build runs. The SonarCube Plugin currently installed on the build server under the Jenkins ==> Plugin Manager option is version 2.2.1.
I don’t want to update this plugin as older build jobs appear to using this and another SonarCube installation version 5.12.

I tried adding the following plugin to my project POM but the build still fails:

<plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>sonar-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.7.1</version>
    </plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>

Any ideas how I can get this build job running to provide coverage on the new server?

Hi,

You should remove that sonar-maven-plugin configuration from your POM. It’s pinning analysis to use a very old and unsupported version of the Scanner for Maven. Drop that configuration, and the latest version will automatically be used.

Regarding the projects using a SonarQube 5.1.2 installation, you should start them over on your new instance immediately.

Hi Ann,

When you say

are you referring to uninstalling the 2.2.1 version of the plugin under Jenkins ==> Plugin Manager? If I disable this plugin by unchecking the radio button, I don’t have the option of adding SonarCube as post build step in my build job.

Thanks,

Oran.

Hi Oran,

I’m not recommending any changes in Jenkins.

You modified the pom

I’m saying you should unmodify it. Remove that plugin configuration.

 
Ann

Hi Ann,

I made those changes to the POM after the build had failed initially.

I’ve removed the plugin changes from the POM again and this is the error I’m currently getting:

As a side note, I tried building the project locally from the command line using mvn sonar:sonar and that was successful so it looks like the issue might relate to Jenkins.

I have Maven 3.3.3 installed both locally and on the Jenkins build server.

Hi,

Yes, it seems that somewhere you still have an old version of the Maven task pinned. I supposed I would start my search in the Maven settings on the Jenkins server/build agents.

Hello Ann,

I have tried to generate a new token this week and mapped in Sonar Cloud.I did face some issues with accessing Sonar Cloud (only via my account) today afternoon and the authentication error is gone now.I am still unclear on how it is resolved though. But I am now facing a different issue , the build gives below and shows no analysis results in the Sonar cloud . Is there a way I can confirm the location of analysis in the logs.Your help would be highly appreciated.

##[warning]No analyses found in this build! Please check your build configuration.
Finishing: SonarCloudPublish

Kind Regards,
Renjini.

Hello Ann,

I have following quetsions too,

  1. I see that Sonar cloud suggests to have a service connection and different key value to be used while trying to analyse a project, Is it like we have to create a new service connection and key pair value for each project?

  2. We are planning to allign the access of projects with in Sonar Cloud with AD group set up, ie; when a particular AD group have access to a set of projects in Azure Sonar Cloud also should mirror this.Is this possible to have AD group synchronisation within Sonar Cloud.

You may see a lot of messages coming from me since we have started to implement Sonar Cloud to all our Cient Projects :).

Thanks in advance!
Kindly let me know your thoughts.

Kind Regards,
Renjini.
