Why does the sonar scanner image not find the sonar-project.properties with podman?

I'm trying to analyze source code using a docker image based on the official sonarscanner-cli image using podman (on a RHEL machine).

When I run

podman run --rm -v ".:/usr/src" sonarsource/sonar-scanner-cli:4.7

the output shows:

INFO: Scanner configuration file: /opt/sonar-scanner/conf/sonar-scanner.properties

INFO: Project root configuration file: NONE

If I execute ls -l before the podman command, I can see the sonar-project.properties file there.

If I check out the same directory on my windows machine and run

docker run -v "%CD%:/usr/src" sonarsource/sonar-scanner-cli:4.7

I get the following output as execpted

INFO: Scanner configuration file: /opt/sonar-scanner/conf/sonar-scanner.properties

INFO: Project root configuration file: /usr/src/sonar-project.properties

Why does podman not find the configuration file? Did I specify the "volume" wrong?

Solution

  • By executing

    podman run --rm -v ".:/usr/src" sonarsource/sonar-scanner-cli:4.7 /bin/bash -c "ls -l"

    I found out that the source of this was a permission problem:

    total 0

    ls: can't open '.': Permission denied

    Adding the --privileged switch to the call fixed the problem:

    podman run --privileged --rm -v ".:/usr/src" sonarsource/sonar-scanner-cli:4.7
