ERROR: Error during SonarScanner execution

Question

I am trying to scan the source code of this website https://demo.testfire.net/ whose source code is https://github.com/HCL-TECH-SOFTWARE/AltoroJ/tree/master over here.

I don't understand how to do it. I followed some videos but this is the error I am getting. Can someone tell me the steps I need to follow, or point me to any video or blog that can be helpful to do so?

Answer 1

The error indicates that you have not provided the java binaries during the sonar execution.

Add the below sonar.properties:

sonar.java.binaries= **/*.java

This will now scan your java binaries. This property is one of the required property if you are going to scan the java code.
