Timout on SonarQube Analysis on TFS2017

Question

Our setup is a SonarQube server 5.6.5 LTS and a TFS2017 on-premise server.

I'm running Code analysis on a big solution which takes about 15 minutes to build and about the same time to complete the analysis build step. On "Complete SonarQube analysis" build step I get the following error:

2017-01-31T08:52:44.8355200Z 09:52:44.741  Post-processing succeeded.
2017-01-31T08:52:46.9293440Z Waiting on the SonarQube server to finish processing in order to determine the quality gate status.

The Timeout in the build steps control options are set to zero/infinite. Where can i set SonarQubeAnalysisTimeoutInSeconds or are there any other Timeout settings I should set higher?

If I uncheck the "Include full analysis report in the build summary" in the prepare build task, the build runs green. But in both cases there is a OutOfMemoryError in the SonarQube Sever Logs:

2017.01.31 09:54:10 INFO  [o.s.s.c.s.ComputationStepExecutor] Compute duplication measures | time=399ms

...

Are these 2 Errors correlated?

Answer 1

We didn't have this issue with SQ Version 6.4 and SonarQube TFS extension version SonarSource.sonarqube-3.0.2. But we just upgraded to SQ v7.0 and started having this issue.

Even after setting the build variable "SonarQubeAnalysisTimeoutInSeconds", not working.

ERROR SonarQubeAnalysisTimeoutInSeconds is set to 600 and will be used to poll for the SonarQube task completion. The analysis did not complete in the allotted time of 600 seconds. Consider setting the build variable SonarQubeAnalysisTimeoutInSeconds to a higher value.

Answer 2

The two errors are correlated. Your build task is waiting for the server to respond with the build results, and it's not responding because of the OutOfMemoryError.

To grant the process more memory, edit $SONARQUBE_HOME/conf/sonar.properties, uncomment the sonar.ce.javaOpts line, and adjust the values as needed.
