SonarRunner Unrecognized option: views - plugins

Question

We are running an "Invoke Standalone SonarQube Analysis" build step on Jenkins with following configurations:
Target: views
JDK: (Inherited from Job)
sonar-runner-2.4
General infos:
SonarQube Version: 4.3
Jenkins Version: 1.606
SonarQube Plugin (in Jenkins): 2.2
Until a few days ago everything works fine, but since then the build is always failing. We are not able to reconstruct if any (plugin-)changes were done on the Jenkins server back then. Nevertheless we ar running nowadays into ERROR: Unrecognized option: views. Using other goals works fine, so the runner works in general.

Running "-v" instead of "views" is resulting the following:

This means sonar-runner is installed correctly.
I checked the installation of "Views" on SonarQube too. The lisence is activ and if I am running an "sonar-runner views" locally everything runs perfectly.
Any ideas for this strange behavior?

Answer 1

The reason for the problem is still unkown, but after re-installing the SonarQube plugin on Jenkins everything went back to normal. (Down-graded the plugin and updated it afterwards)

Answer 2

This issue was linked to a regression in Jenkins SonarQube Plugin 2.2
It has been fixed in Jenkins SonarQube Plugin 2.2.1.
