Using waitForQualityGate in a Jenkins declarative pipeline

Question

The following SonarQube (6.3) analysis stage in a declarative pipeline in Jenkins 2.50 is failing with this error in the console log: http://pastebin.com/t2ja23vC. More specific

Answer 1

This was discovered to be a bug in the SonarQube scanner for Jenkins, when using a Jenkins slave for jobs (if the job is run on the master, it'd work). You can read more here: https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SONARJNKNS-282

I have tested this using a test build of v2.61 of the scanner plug-in and found it working. The solution is to upgrade to v2.61 when released.

This stage will then work:

stage ("SonarQube analysis") {
   steps {
      withSonarQubeEnv('SonarQube') {
         sh "../../../sonar-scanner-2.9.0.670/bin/sonar-scanner"   
      }

      def qualitygate = waitForQualityGate()
      if (qualitygate.status != "OK") {
         error "Pipeline aborted due to quality gate coverage failure: ${qualitygate.status}"
      }
   }
}
