Why it matters

The error you're seeing is caused by the SonarQube Scanner trying to analyze Java files in your project without having access to compiled Java classes (.class files). Here’s how to resolve this issue. Steps to Fix the SonarQube Scan Error for Java Files 1. Option 1: Provide Compiled Classes If you want to include the Java files in the scan, you need to provide the compiled .class files by setting the sonar.java.binaries property to the path where the compiled Java classes are located. For example, if your compiled classes are in a folder like target/classes, you can modify the sonar-scanner command as follows: Adjust target/classes to the actual location of your compiled classes. 2. Option 2: Exclude Java Files from Analysis If you don’t want to analyze the Java files (maybe you're focusing on Python), you can exclude them by using the sonar.exclusions property. This will exclude all Java files from being scanned, focusing only on other file types like Python, JavaScript, etc.
