ERROR: Error during SonarQube Scanner execution
ERROR: You must install a plugin that supports the language 'Kotlin'
ERROR:

WARN: Unable to locate 'report-task.txt' in the workspace. Did the SonarScanner succedeed?
ERROR: SonarQube scanner exited with non-zero code: 1
Finished: FAILURE

I'm getting above error message when I forcefully set the sonar.language=Kotlin. But when I turn off the sonar.language=Kotlin property code will automatically scan for Kotlin and XML files.

As on the image I have already installed Kotlin plugin to my Sonar server.

There for can someone please give me a solution to resolve this error.

Answer 1

Do you need to force the SonarQube to set the language to Kotlin??

As I remembered, the sonar.language is somewhat deprecated (correct me if I am wrong). Right now, it will automatically detect the language that you are using. That's why when you try to remove the sonar.language in your configuration and build again, it should work.
