sonar.host.url not working with sonar-maven-plugin:2.7

Question

After upgrading my POMs to sonar-maven-plugin:2.7 the configuration does not work any more. My configuration in settings.xml is like this:

Answer 1

Better than disabling the plugin, you may fix the plugin version to 2.6, which works fine, taking into account sonar.host.url.

For instance, with Maven in my case:

<pluginManagement>
  </plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
      <artifactId>sonar-maven-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>2.6</version>
      <!-- sonar.host.url not working with version 2.7 -->
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</pluginManagement>

Answer 2

Both

mvn -Dsonar.host.url=http://localhost:9000 org.codehaus.mojo:sonar-maven-plugin:2.6:sonar

and

mvn -Dsonar.host.url=http://localhost:9000 org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:3.2:sonar

worked for me :

Answer 3

Workaround: Adding -Dsonar.host.url=http://my.server:9000 to mvn command works for me

Answer 4

I use the full qualified goal in the CI server to run the sonar goals:

mvn org.codehaus.mojo:sonar-maven-plugin:2.6:sonar

Since we use the templates in TeamCity this is not so much of a disaster. Still we were a bit surprised by the event.

Answer 5

Instead of reconfiguring all jobs I disabled sonar for all jobs until this gets fixed. I added

<sonar.skip>true</sonar.skip>

to the sonar profile in settings.xml.

Answer 6

We are investigating the issue. Ticket was created: https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/MSONAR-129

In the meantime you could either lock the SQ plugin to version 2.6 or pass all properties using command line.
