SonarQube upgrade from 6.4 to 6.5 breaks the scanner

Question

1. I am on sonarQube6.4 and have upgraded to 6.5
2. Sonar-scanner is 3.0.3
3. Now after the upgrade the scanner fails anytime there is a java file in the source path. If I don't scan java files everything works just fine.
4. However If I rollback an use 6.4 version, everything works fine, so is there any regression? This is the stack trace, when I run the scanner command with -X command. So is it a mandate in 6.5 to provided the location of all compiled classed, is there a way to ignore it.

When I run the same with 6.4, it works fine and the only warning I see in the console is :

04:52:42.738 WARN: Bytecode of dependencies was not provided for analysis of source files, you might end up with less precise results. Bytecode can be provided using sonar.java.libraries property

Answer 1

Error during SonarQube Scanner execution org.sonar.squidbridge.api.AnalysisException: Please provide compiled classes of your project with sonar.java.binaries property

Since SonarJava 4.12, you must specify sonar.java.binaries property https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/PLUG/Java+Plugin+and+Bytecode

Example :

sonar-scanner -Dsonar.projectKey=fr.demo:my-project -Dsonar.sources=. -Dsonar.java.binaries=.
