Error in SonarQube when launching svn blame

Question

I recently upgraded my SonarQube server from 4.5.2 to 5.0.1, then to 5.1 (see edit below).

Suddenly, the analysis of a multi-module Maven project failed with the following error :

Somehow, the command svn did not find the file src/main/java/MyClass.java in directory C:\somedirectory\module1, although that file is definitely there. If I copy-paste the command SonarQube is trying to execute in a command prompt svn blame --xml --non-interactive -x -w src/main/java/MyClass.java inside directory C:\somedirectory\module1 then the command is working fine.

svn command is correctly on the PATH, as can be seen in the "Library Path" field on "System Info" page in SonarQube server. SonarQube server is hosted on the same server where mvn sonar:sonar was executed (Windows Server 2008 R2).

svn is being launched by SonarQube to retrieve blame history. As I understand, there were some changes made in SonarQube 5.0 concerning SCM support (change to built-in). My workaround for now is to disable the SCM sensor in SonarQube (using -Dsonar.scm.disabled=true or directly in the SonarQube server, under "Settings > General Settings > SCM").

This is not related to this question since I only encountered that behaviour when I upgraded to SonarQube 5.0.1.

JRE used : 1.7.0_51 (64 bits)

EDIT :

After an upgrade to SonarQube 5.1, the error is still here but the message is different and more clear. I have reinstalled a SVN client (TortoiseSVN) and restarted both Jenkins and SonarQube but the error stays:

Answer 1

use the below command which will disable the svn related issues

-Dsonar.scm.disabled=True

this will disable the svn

Answer 2

I experienced same issue after installing SonarQube 5.1, go to Update Center:

http://your_domain:port/updatecenter/available

search for the "SVN", click "Install"

https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/PLUG/SVN+Plugin

Something like this will appear:

SonarQube needs to be restarted in order to install the following plugins: sonar-scm-svn-plugin-1.0.jar

Restart your SonarQube.
