sonar-project.properties doesnt seem to be picked up when trying to Run SonarScanner from the Docker image

Question

I have been trying to do the "Running SonarScanner from the Docker image" from the documentation"

ERROR: Error during SonarScanner execution

my guess is that the sonar-project.properties are not being picked up and I don't understand why not

docker run \
--rm \
--network=host \
-e SONAR_HOST_URL="http://127.0.0.1:9000/" \
-e SONAR_LOGIN="*token*" \
-v $(pwd)/idevops-crmservice:/root/src \
sonarsource/sonar-scanner-cli

when I try to searching for this issue, all I really get is to use

sonar-runner -Dsonar.projectKey=

but that does not help me since I need the sonar-project.properties to be picked up

im wanting to scan an entire folder and unsure on what to do.

Answer 1

Are you running the docker run command while inside your project's root folder? if so, you don't need to add $(pwd)/<project-folder>, just $(pwd).

Answer 2

I also have same problem. and the solution is either dont run it on docker.. or create a new docker myself. the docker image on its documentation doesnt provide any argument other than the sample that was given.
