Analysing Gradle Java project with Sonarqube in Jenkins pipeline throws Exception on Jacoco Reports

Question

Versions: SonarQube: 7.9 SonarJava plugin: 5.13.1 Java: 11 Gradle: 5.5

I'm trying to make SonarQube analysis of Gitlab Repo with Gradle/Java project using declarative Jenkins Pipeline. This is the JenkinsFile:

@Library('jenkins-shared')_
pipeline {
    agent {
        docker {
            image 'gradle:5.5-jdk11'
        }
    }
    stages {
        stage('build && SonarQube analysis') {
            steps {
                withSonarQubeEnv('sonar.tools.****) {
                 script {
                     cmd.withNexusCredentials {
                            sh 'gradle --info sonarqube  -Dsonar.projectKey=catalog-service -Dsonar.junit.reportPaths=./build/test-results/test -Dsonar.binaries=./build/classes -Dsonar.coverage.jacoco.xmlReportPaths=./build/reports/jacoco/test/html/index.html'
                        }
                }
            }
        }
    }
        stage("Quality Gate") {
            steps {
                timeout(time: 1, unit: 'HOURS') {
                    // Parameter indicates whether to set pipeline to UNSTABLE if Quality Gate fails
                    // true = set pipeline to UNSTABLE, false = don't
                    // Requires SonarScanner for Jenkins 2.7+
                    waitForQualityGate abortPipeline: true
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

I have applied the Sonar plugin also to Gradle build file. When I try to run this Jenkins pipeline, the following error occurs:

> Task :sonarqube FAILED
JaCoCo report task detected, but XML report is not enabled or it was not produced. Coverage for this task will not be reported.

Every other task completes successfully. Even when I run jacocoTestConverageVerification or check, it always runs successfully except the task Sonarqube

Answer 1

Solved: There was a problem with user authorization to create temp file required for sonar analysis, so you need to run the analysis with a proper user from Jenkins. For example, just try running it with the root user.

Also, SonarQube requires generated XML report files, which are on default turned off. You can turn the generation of XML files inside build.gradle on like:

jacocoTestReport {
    reports {
        xml.enabled true
    }
}
