I connect to SonarQube server v 6.7.1 and I've tried to use a couple of versions of SonnarScanner but all the time I get the same error. Do you know what might cause the issue?

Answer 1

This can be solved by doing the following try adding -Dsonar.scm.disabled=True in your command ( for eg.. mvn sonar:sonar -Dsonar.scm.disabled=True )

or

delete .sonar folder from home directory of your user eg .. rm -rf ~/.sonar
