SonarQube can't find the project configuration path

Question

Anyone knows how to figure this out?

C:\sonar-runner\bin\..
SonarQube Runner 2.3
Java 1.7.0_45 Oracle Corporation (64-bit)
Windows Server 2012 6.2 amd64
INFO: Error stacktraces are turned on.
INFO: Runner configuration file: C:\sonar-runner\bin\..\conf\sonar-runner.properties
INFO: Project configuration file: NONE
INFO: Default locale: "pt_BR", source code encoding: "windows-1252" (analysis is platform dependent)
INFO: Work directory: C:\sonar-runner\bin\.sonar

n': sonar.projectKey, sonar.projectName, sonar.projectVersion, sonar.sources

For some reason the SonarQube can't find the configuration project path its return NONE from the INFO. I already have the file in the conf path of the sonar-runner.

Answer 1

If you read carefully the doc page "Analyzing with SonarQube Runner", you can read:

Run the following command from the project base directory to launch the analysis:

The most important part is "from the project base directory". This should answer your question.

Answer 2

Important: the name of the project configuration file must be: "sonar-project.properties" (not sonar-scanner.properties)

And you have to launch the sonar-scaner command from the path of your project.

Answer 3

You need to add Project config file in the base directory.

That is C:\sonar-runner\bin
