[RESOLVED] Intermittent Java Scanner Failures – April 23

Incident Report for SonarQube

Resolved

Status: Resolved
Incident Period: 10:04 CEST – 11:06 CEST, April 23, 2026

Summary:
Earlier today, we identified a partial outage affecting Java project scans following a recent scanner update. Users may have encountered the following error during analysis: "org.sonar.java.AnalysisException: Your project contains .java files, please provide compiled classes with sonar.java.binaries property..."

Action Taken:
Our engineering team identified that the latest update introduced a regression in how Java binaries are handled. To restore service, we have successfully reverted the update across all regions:

EU Region: Revert completed at 11:03 CEST
US Region: Revert completed at 11:06 CEST

Next Steps for Customers:
Standard service has been restored. If you experienced a failed scan during this window, please re-run your pipeline or analysis now. No manual configuration changes (such as adjusting sonar.java.binaries or exclusions) are required, as the system has been returned to its previous stable state.

We apologize for the interruption to your workflow and are conducting a full internal review to prevent a recurrence in future updates. To report additional issues or share your observations, please visit the Sonar Community or contact Support.
