How to solve this error message?

Solution

I see the error:

ERROR: The folder 'C:Program Files (x86)JenkinsworkspaceDownStream-UpStreamSonaTestNumberGeneratorsrcmainjavacommkyong sonar.language=java' 
does not exist for 'App sonar.projectBaseDir= C:Program Files (x86)JenkinsworkspaceDownStream-UpStreamSonaTestNumberGenerator' 
(base directory = C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\workspace\DownStream-UpStream\SonaTest)

You started the process with:

[SonaTest] $ "C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\tools\hudson.plugins.sonar.SonarRunnerInstallation\SonaScan\bin\sonar-scanner.bat" 
-e -Dsonar.host.url=http://localhost:9000 ********
 "-Dsonar.projectBaseDir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\workspace\DownStream-UpStream\SonaTest"

Make sure to double the \ in order for the sonar.projectBaseDir to find the actual folder.

That is:

-Dsonar.projectBaseDir=C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Jenkins...

The OP Badal Singh reports in the comments:

It was due to wrong folder path I have mentioned in sonar.properties file

Comments

[Narayan Acharya]

Hi Badal! Please provide more context around your question like what are you trying and steps to reproduce this error. This will help other understand your question and bring in answers to solve your problem quicker. :)

[Jim Garrison]

Please edit your post and re-paste the log, formatted as CODE. Blockquote destroys the layout and makes the log unreadable. If you want help, don't make it hard for people to help you.

[Badal Singh]

Hi Narayan,Jim Issue is solved for me now as I entered folder destination incorrectly..

[Badal Singh]

Though I have some confusion over "sonar.java.binaries=. sonar.scm.disabled=True" could you please explain?

[Badal Singh]

Thanks, But problem was not with double \\ , It was due to wrong folder path I have mentioned in sonar.properties file

[VonC]

@BadalSingh OK. I have included your comment in the answer for more visibility.

[Badal Singh]

"sonar.java.binaries=. sonar.scm.disabled=True" do you have any idea about this property as I am newbie to sonar I am not aware of.
