Not authorized to execute any sonarqube analysis with sonarqube scanner on Travis CI

Question

I recently started using Travis CI and sonarqube in an open source project and have run into a problem with sonarqube-scanner.

My Travis CI page can be seen here: https://travis-ci.org/uglyoldbob/decompiler

My sonarqube page can be seen here: https://sonarqube.com/overview?id=uglyoldbob_decompiler

I'm running sonarqube-scanner on Travis CI it suddenly stopped working with the following error:

"ERROR: You're not authorized to execute any SonarQube analysis. Please contact your SonarQube administrator."

I am using a token generated on sonarqube and have added it to the environment variables of Travis CI. I generated a new token when I noticed the problem and updated the environment variable with Travis but it did not change anything.

What can I do to fix this?

Solution 1

In General: You need to pass a user token from an account with analysis permissions in your analysis parameters. Use the sonar.login property to do it.

Specifically: I see from your travis log that you are passing what looks like a user token in the sonar.login property. However you are passing it to sonar.host.url=http://nemo.sonarqube.org. You need to change this to https://sonarqube.com

Solution 2

with mvn I had to pass to sonarcloud.io the parameter -Dsonar.branch=master

all command goes something like this:

mvn clean org.jacoco:jacoco-maven-plugin:prepare-agent package sonar:sonar -Dsonar.host.url=https://sonarcloud.io -Dsonar.organization={ORG_KEY} -Dsonar.login={GENERATED_KEY_ON_SONARCLOUD_SECURITY} -Dsonar.branch={BRANCH_NAME}

this fixed the following error:

You're only authorized to execute a local (preview) SonarQube analysis without pushing the results to the SonarQube server. Please contact your SonarQube administrator.

remember adding the analysis permission on the sonarcloud admin console.
