ERROR: Re-run SonarScanner using the -X switch to enable full debug logging.

what have you tried so far to achieve this : Updated Scanner properties file with “sonar.host.url=localhost:9005”.

Please help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Raj,

welcome to the community!

Have a look at this message here:

So try to add http:// in front of the URL, this should resolve it.

Hi Hendrik,

Thanks for your suggestion. I used the below script to run the scanner. But no luck. Got the same error.

sonar-scanner.bat -D"sonar.projectKey=bw5" -D"sonar.sources=." -D"sonar.host.url=http:\127.0.0.1:9005" -D"sonar.login=f16e41c33065b45b15d872a67181cf5bafcfb5ae" -D"sonar.log.console=true" -D"sonar.projectBaseDir=C:\Vodafone\Work\BW_Project\Test

Please advice.

Thanks and Regards,
Raj

Hi Raj,

the URL does not look correct. You have to use 2 forward slashes instead of one backward slash (http://127.0.0.1:9005).

The sonar.login token is a sensitive key, I would consider revoking it and creating a new one as it is public now.

Best regards,
Hendrik

Hi Hendrik,

Many thanks for your help.

Sorry. It’s not working in either way. Getting the same error message. I changed port number from 9005 to 9006. But no luck.

ERROR: SonarQube server [http:\localhost:9006] can not be reached
ERROR: SonarQube server [http://localhost:9006] can not be reached

Please advice.

Thanks and Regards,

I kept two backward slashes while testing. It is appearing as single backslash only when I copy the full error message here.
