Does it need java to run?

[gaurav517]

Hello,

Does it need JRE to run the analysis? I have pure javascript project and I don't want to install Java just for this purpose. What are options?

Thanks,
Kumar

Yes, it does. I tested it locally and it worked, but I had Java installed. Once I tried to run it in a Node docker image, it didn't work. I had to use a Node + Java docker image.

This just blows my mind...

It reveals that simple uploader does too many things. It also requires typescript locally if you want to deal with TS files. According to docs https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/analysis/languages/typescript/ you must npm install typescript so you must have Node and must have Java. Which makes it impossible to do nice clean things like build & test & gather coverage using Node image and upload using Java image.

And yes, the only solution is to create a Node+Java Docker.
