SonarQube 8.4.1 SonarScanner for Maven 3.7 JDK 1.11

This only happens with this project. It's a Spring Boot project.

Answer 1

I think you can solve this problem, if you set the property sonar.projectBaseDir:

sonar.projectBaseDir="repository-path"

I found this solution in a Sonarqube community question.

EDIT:

And please make sure that you use a git project with a .git folder.

Answer 2

Looks like sonar scanner is not able to find the repository your source code cloned in. Add below properties

sonar.projectBaseDir="<Path_to_project_where_project_is_cloned>"
sonar.sources=.
sonar.scm.provider=git
