Sonarqube invalid value for java binaries

Question

I'm trying to upload my project to a remote sonarqube server.

This is the command I run sonar scanner:

sonar-scanner -Dsonar.projectKey=my-project -Dsonar.host.url=https://xxxx:9000 -Dsonar.login=the-secret-key  -Dsonar.java.binaries=**/target/classes

but it throws the error on java.binaries.

INFO: Configured Java source version (sonar.java.source): 
none
INFO: JavaClasspath initialization
ERROR: Invalid value for sonar.java.binaries

ERROR: Error during SonarQube Scanner execution
No files nor directories matching **/target/classes

I tried different values like ./target, /target/, /target/classes (where the jar is being stored). However, I am encountering this error of not found. (even though the directory exists)

By running sonar:sonar on my IDE and maven sonar:sonar on my terminal would send over the result to sonarqube, but my goal is to include this command in my jet-steps

Very old post but may help someone. I had similar issue and below configuration worked for me:

sonar.sources=src/main/java
sonar.java.binaries=target/classes
