SonarQube : " Project configuration file: NONE "

Question

I've configured everything to do a Sonar analysis on a Maven project. Everything is fine until I run sonar-runner :

     Max$ sonar-runner
     INFO: Scanner configuration file: /Users/Max/Documents/sonar-scanner-2.5/conf/sonar-runner.properties

I'm running sonar-runner inside my java project folder

I have put and configured the sonar-runner.properties in my java project

sonar.projectKey=SeleniumMaven:sonar
sonar.projectName=SeleniumMaven
sonar.projectVersion=1.0
sonar.sources=src
sonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8
sonar.language=java

Any idea?

Why are you using Sonar Runner if you have a Maven project? Just use the Sonar Maven Plugin. — Tunaki, Feb 10 '16 at 12:17
In my case it turned out I was calling the scanner from a wrong location. Don't forget the `dir` step if using Jenkins pipeline. — Georgii Ivankin, Aug 02 '18 at 17:54

I had the same problem and I realized my file name was incorrect: instead of "sonar-project.properties" I had it as "sonar-project.properties.properties".

I would try and change your file name to "sonar-project.properties" and try ...

In my case the file name had special character `mv sonar-project.properties̀ sonar-project.properties` – Ajitsen Feb 06 '19 at 10:52
brilliant!....in my case i had named it sonar-projects.properties – Kaushik J Feb 24 '22 at 17:30
Thank you!!, in my case, I had whitespace before the file name which was completely invisible when I saw your answer I was sure this isn’t the case until I realized the problem :O – Aya Salama Jul 12 '22 at 14:04

Try passing the values like this :

sonar-runner -Dsonar.projectKey=..... -Dsonar.projectName=...

if it works, it means the property file is somewhat ignored

If you look at the following message :

INFO: Scanner configuration file: /Users/Max/Documents/sonar-scanner-2.5/conf/sonar-runner.properties
INFO: Project configuration file: NONE

It seems like your project configuration file is indeed ignored

Well thanks, it's working ! Don't know why my property file is ignored ! – user3568978 Feb 10 '16 at 12:19
Do you run the command from the project's root directory ? However, as stated by @Tunaki, you should use the sonar maven plugin if your project is maven based. This way you could attach the analysis to a maven phase etc.. – Hello_world Feb 10 '16 at 12:40

You need create a configuration file in the root directory of the project: sonar-project.properties

If a sonar-project.properties file cannot be created(or you won`t) in the root directory of the project, there are several alternatives:

The properties can be specified directly through the command line. Ex:

sonar-scanner -Dsonar.projectKey=myproject -Dsonar.sources=src1
The property project.settings can be used to specify the path to the project configuration file (this option is incompatible with the project.home and sonar.projectBaseDir properties). Ex:

sonar-scanner -Dproject.settings=../myproject.properties

The root folder of the project to analyze can be set through the sonar.projectBaseDir property since SonarQube Scanner 2.4 (was previously project.home). This folder must contain a sonar-project.properties file if the mandatory properties (like sonar.projectKey) are not specified on the command line.

Additional analysis parameters can be defined in this project configuration file or through command-line parameters.
