Getting ETIMEOUT error while integrating sonarqube with azure

Question

I am trying to integrate sonarqube (enterprise version) with my azure. I am working on an iOS Mobile application Project.

I have added following task for preparing to do sonar analysis in my azure pipeline.

    - task: SonarQubePrepare@4
  displayName: 'Prepare for Sonar'
  inputs:
    SonarQube: 'SONARSERVICECONNECTION'
    scannerMode: 'CLI'
    configMode: 'manual'
    cliProjectKey: 'com.ios.demoapp'
    cliProjectName: 'com.ios.demo'
    cliSources: '.'
    extraProperties: |
      # Additional properties that will be passed to the scanner, 
      # Put one key=value per line, example:
      sonar.host.url=https://sonarprod.abc.xyz 
      sonar.login=d8s902h3hhh3jkl2kl2bn2j2l2b2kk2bn2
      sonar.test.inclusions=**/*Test*/**
      sonar.test.inclusions=*.swift
      sonar.exclusions=Pods/**/*

The azure build pipeline fails on this task with the following error:

I am unable to understand why it is failing?

I haven't installed any sonar scanner. Do I really need to install one? If yes, then where should it be installed?

Answer 1

I was using an entreprise version of Sonar and it failed to connect to MAC systems.

So, I created a separate job for sonar and assigned the agent machine as WINDOWS. Since sonar runs static analysis, it doesn't require a mac machine to do an analysis of my iOS App code.

- job: Sonar_Analysis

 pool:
    vmImage: 'windows-2019'

  steps:
  - task: SonarQubePrepare@4
    displayName: 'Prepare for Sonar'

and so on...
