Figure 1 Log

Cause Analysis

When "type": "module" is set in the package.json file, the current sonarqube version has a bug where the CSS scanner fails to detect file extensions during imports. Therefore, CSS rules are not applied, and the server cannot start.

Solution

1. Access the code repository in use.
2. Delete "type": "module" from the package.json file.

   

3. Create a file named sonar-project.properties in the root directory of the code repository.
4. Enter the following code in the sonar-project.properties file:

   sonar.working.directory=projectdir
   #projectdir is the relative directory of the project code. Ensure that package.json is not under the projectdir directory.
