How to configure a Jenkins Pipeline for SonarQube scan

Question

I am trying to configure a jenkins pipeline for my project, but there is something missing here, if anyone could direct on what I am doing wrong:

Below is the pipeline script:

node {
    stage('SonarQube analysis') {
    // requires SonarQube Scanner 2.8+
    def scannerHome = tool 'sonarScanner';
    withSonarQubeEnv('SonarQube 6.2') {
      bat "${scannerHome}/bin/sonar-runner.bat"
    }
  } 
}

Below is the Jenkins Sonar Plugin related configurations: Under Manage Jenkins > Configure System:

Under Manage Jenkins > Global Tool Configuration

Below is the error that I get:

The problem seems that Jenkins does not know where my sonar-project.properties is placed. It is under D:\myprj and has contents as below:

# required metadata
sonar.projectKey=my_prj:my_prj
sonar.projectName=my_prj
sonar.projectVersion=1.00
sonar.sources=my_prj/src
sonar.language=java

Pls suggest how I can make Jenkins pipeline aware of where the sonar-project.properties file is placed

Answer 1

I needed to add the workspace to my script. Here is the script below:

stage('SonarQube analysis') {
    ws('D:\\my_prj') {
    // requires SonarQube Scanner 2.8+
    def scannerHome = tool 'sonarScanner';
    withSonarQubeEnv('SonarQube 6.2') {
      bat "${scannerHome}/bin/sonar-scanner.bat"
    }
  }
}

I see you were using Sonar-runner 2.4. I think by running 2.8 version you will have better results. This is my JenkinsFile configuration, by using Declarative Pipeline syntax. I was having the same issue, but I solved it by renaming my sonar-project.properties file, the previous name was "sonar.properties". I hope this may help others.

stage('Sonarqube analysis') {
    steps {
        script {
            scannerHome = tool 'SonarScanner';
        }
        withSonarQubeEnv('SonarQube') {
            bat "${scannerHome}/bin/sonar-scanner.bat" 
        }
    }
}
