SonarQube build breaker and Jenkins quality gates not same

Question

I have SonarQube (v6.7) installed using sonar-build-breaker-plugin-2.2 for quality gates. I have Jenkins (v2.161) installed with Sonar Quality Gates Plugin (v1.3.1) installed in different Servers. Below is the configuration of the Quality gates in Jenkins

I have configured the Project key and Job status as FAILED in the job configuration. The problem is, when the SonarQube analysis for a project is triggered from maven using cmd prompt, it is passed successfully. When the same job is triggered from Jenkins I am getting below error.

07:03:50 [INFO] Quality gate status: ERROR
07:03:50 [ERROR] Security Rating on New Code: 4 > 1

What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The reason for the difference in report for SonarQube trigger and Jenkins Job is that, I have a configuration in SonarQube to analyse only .java,.jav files .In the SonarQube UI, Configurations --> General Settings --> Java, this configuration is available.

The project consists of .java,.xml,.xhtml files, so in order to skip the files other than java, I have included a configuration -Dsonar.language=java in the Jenkins goal and now the report is same. Though this configuration is said to be deprecated, it works fine for now.
