Hello,

Go to the sonarqube-sonarqube-install-plugins config-map and remove the line rm /opt/sonarqube/extensions/downloads/* from it. Then it should work. After it booted up you can add the line again.

We should add the -f flag to this line. Then this would not fail when it does not find any files in the downloads directory.

rm -f /opt/sonarqube/extensions/downloads/*

I'll create a PR for this

I discovered that this should already be fixed in version 9.1.2 of the chart. Somehow Helm still pulls 9.1.1 and it does not find 9.1.2.

You might have to run "helm repo update" before you run "helm show chart"

[robojones]

Thanks @rjkernick I think this issue is fixed in 9.1.2 and can be closed now

[Guimove]

I confirm, for me it's resolved.

The other issue I get is that now built in plugins generate an error when installing the plugin with the same key. So I was mandatory to remove some plugins from the list in my values.yml to be able to start sonar.

The error was not clear because we've deployed Sonar on a Google Kubernetes Cluster using Terraform and all logs were not exported in stackdriver (the GCP log management tool) but after looking on the file web.log (after opening a bash session on my container), I was able to find errors like : Web server startup failed: Fail to update plugin: <XXX> Code Quality and Security. Built-in feature with same key already exists: <XXX>. Move or delete plugin from extensions/downloads directory

So now it's working fine. Thanks
