SonarQube scan runs but doesn’t generate any results

Question

I’m running a SonarQube scan for the first time. It’s the CE version, 8.3.1.

I have SQ running on a server at 192.168.56.111. My development workstation is on 192.168.0.11. There are no network problems.

Since I’m new to SQ, I’m trying to keep it as basic as possible. I’m using the sample HelloWorld in https://github.com/SonarSource/sonar-scanning-examples/blob/master/sonarqube-scanner-maven/maven-basic/src/main/java/com/acme/basic/

I’m not using Git. Just saving the HelloWorld project to the local hard drive

The source code is at /opt/workspace/eclipse/java/my-app/src/main/java/com/mycompany/app/

The scanner is at /opt/sonarqube/scanner/sonar-scanner-4.4.0.2170-linux/bin

Here’s a copy of the properties file. I’m using the same file whether or not I put it in the scanner’s conf directory or the application workspace… I’ve seen different webpages that say it goes in either spot:

sonar.host.url=http://192.168.56.111:9000

sonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8

sonar.projectKey=com.mycompany.app:my-app

sonar.scm.disabled=True

sonar.sources=/opt/workspace/eclipse/java/my-app/src/main/java/com/mycompany/app

sonar.login=73a9a7ab66a335d0d83aee813d576e184934a336

When I run sonar-scanner and then go check the results, Projects | Name | Overview, it says "The main branch has no lines of code".

Question #1: If sonar.scm.disabled=True is in the props file, how can this error happen? I also went to the project settings in the SQ server and disabled the SCM sensor there too. Same results.

Question #2: I noticed in the terminal output, it said .java files are being ignored. So I changed the sonar.sources property to where the class files are at: /opt/workspace/eclipse/java/my-app/target/classes/com/mycompany/app/. Same results. What should the sonar.sources property be? Does SQ work on the java files or the class files?

The results say “No Issues. Hooray!”. So I added this but of ugliness to the sayHello method in the HelloWorld class:

KeyPairGenerator kpg = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("RSA");
kpg.initialize(1024);

Question #3: Still no code issues. SQ should have flagged on the 1024 (as it’s less than 2048) size right?

Adding output from the terminal per @HernánAlarcón 's comment.

Can you show us how are you running the scanner and what is its output? — Hernán Alarcón, Aug 18 '20 at 20:49
@HernánAlarcón Will do... editing the original post with the info. — MGoBlue93, Aug 24 '20 at 02:34
Does [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23567128/sonar-runner-doesnt-index-any-files) solve your question? — Hernán Alarcón, Aug 24 '20 at 23:11
It does. I added sonar.projectBaseDir to the properties file rather than sonar.sources and it works perfectly. Thanks! — MGoBlue93, Aug 26 '20 at 03:28
Okay @HernánAlarcón, how do I give you credit for the answer? Your responses have been comments rather than posts? — MGoBlue93, Aug 26 '20 at 03:29
