SonarQube Plugin for Jenkins does not find SonarQube Scanner executable

Question

I am trying to run the SonarQube Scanner within Jenkins as a post-build step. However, I keep getting the error message below:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
SONAR ANALYSIS FAILED
------------------------------------------------------------------------
FATAL: SonarQube Scanner executable was not found for SonarQube
Build step 'Execute SonarQube Scanner' marked build as failure

From similar questions on stackoverflow I read that one should choose "Install automatically" for the SonarQube Scanner, which I have done.

My configurations is as follows:

• SonarQube 6.0
• Jenkins 1.609.3
• SonarQube Plugin 2.4.4

Answer 1

Make sure you are giving path in Global Tool Configuration correctly. Give the path of folder in which bin folder is exists inside that folder.

Step1 : 1st find where the sonar_scanner bin is available -

root@test1sp117:/opt/sonar_scanner/sonar-scanner-3.0.3.778-linux# ls
bin  conf  jre  lib

Step2 : Give the correct path in Manage Jenkins --> Global Tool Configuration --> SonarQube Scanner
