SonarQube + Jenkins Error 500 - jenkins

Question

I have successfully integrated SonarQube and Jenkins using the SonarQube plugin for Jenkins. The Sonar analysis seems to be successful, but I cannot see the results on the Sonar dashboard. Here is the stacktrace:

When I click on the link it says
{"errors":[{"msg":"HTTP method POST is required"}]}
I think the solution is to reconfigure SQ so it directly uses the target URL, but how do I do that?

Answer 1

In my sonar it doesn't put the binary data to MySQL so I change
max_allowed_packet = 16M to
#max_allowed_packet = 256M

Answer 2

I encountered the same error and Nicolas' comment about checking the sonar.log helped me diagnose the problem. I was running this on Windows as a Windows Service, and the user of the process was set to the default Local Service and so it was looking for a temp folder under C:\Windows\System32. I changed the user account to an actual user account and that solved the problem.
If the error in the log is about unable to find the temp folder, try checking the user account that Sonar is running under.

Answer 3

I had similar problem, the sollution was that the host parameter was given with 'http' not 'https' format, that was causing redirect which was loosing the POST information

Answer 4

It worked to me:
In Jenkins, go to Global Tool Configuration and look for SonarQube Scanner block.
Activate it. The error will be gone.
