SonarQube Runner 2.4 can not find sonar.sources in sonar-project.properties even it exist

Question

I am using SonarQube Runner 2.4 at jenkins since today but the analysis fail with the message:

But sonar-project.properties of My_Project contain sonar.sources.

sonar.language=java
sonar.projectName=My_Project
sonar.projectVersion=0.1
sonar.binaries=bin
sonar.projectDescription=
sonar.projectKey=MyProjectKey
sonar.sources=src

Where is the problem?

Greetings

I found a solution which will solve the problem. I have to add the property "MYProject.sonar.sources=src" In the project properties in Jenkins (I use "Invoke Standalone Sonar Analysis"). But this means the sonar-project.properties is not read correctly by sonar? — Michael S

Try adding "sonar.sources=." See if this works or not. Please add the log if the problem still persists.
