Unable to load component class org.sonar.ce.task.projectanalysis.step.ExecuteVisitorsStep

[Kris_van_Kooten]

In a pipeline script were using SonarQube to anayse a project like:

Jenkins Sonar version: SonarQube Scanner 7.0.2.4839
SonarQube server: sonarqube-25.4.0.105899
Java version in pipeline: Temurin 17

Problem: since ?? error: ERROR Issue exclusions are misconfigured. File pattern is mandatory for each entry of ‘sonar.issue.ignore.multicriteria’

When adding line like:

           -Dsonar.issue.ignore.multicriteria=a1 \
           -Dsonar.issue.ignore.multicriteria.a1.ruleKey=java:S1698 \
           -Dsonar.issue.ignore.multicriteria.a1.resourceKey=src/test/java/**/*.java \

The scan works fine but then the error comes from server:

I don’t think we’ve even announced this version yet Thanks for being an early adopter.

I had no issues running the command you shared and having analysis pass – except I had to wrap your file paths in quotes

-Dsonar.issue.ignore.multicriteria.a1.resourceKey="src/test/java/**/*.java"

Still, not doing so just wouldn’t allow the command to run, but that could be something specific to macOS.

zsh: no matches found: -Dsonar.issue.ignore.multicriteria.a1.resourceKey=src/test/java/**/*.java

Could you give this a try?

Already found out the what the problem was:
mismatch between pipeline configuration and SonarQube server configuration:

Ignore Issues on Multiple Criteria: forgot the file path Pattern
