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

SonarQube Servers

SonarQube Scanner

Answer

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
