Help needed: "ReferenceError: sonar is not defined" error

[greenlaw110]

I put exactly the same code for sonar task in my gulpfile.js file:

gulp.task('sonar', function () {
    var options = {
        sonar: {
            host: {
                url: 'http://localhost:9000'
            },
            projectKey: 'conn-ui',
            projectName: 'Conn App UI',
            //projectVersion: '1.0.0',
            // comma-delimited string of source directories 
            sources: 'app/js,app/lib',
            language: 'js',
            sourceEncoding: 'UTF-8',
            javascript: {
                lcov: {
                    reportPath: 'test/sonar_report/lcov.info'
                }
            },
            exec: {
                // All these properties will be send to the child_process.exec method (see: https://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html#child_process_child_process_exec_command_options_callback ) 
                // Increase the amount of data allowed on stdout or stderr (if this value is exceeded then the child process is killed, and the gulp-sonar will fail). 
                maxBuffer : 1024*1024
            }
        }
    };

    // gulp source doesn't matter, all files are referenced in options object above 
    return gulp.src('thisFileDoesNotExist.js', { read: false })
        .pipe(sonar(options))
        .on('error', util.log);
});

However I always get the following error messages when I invoke gulp sonar command:

using args { _: [ 'sonar' ], env: 'local-java', e: 'local-java' }

Do you know where I am wrong?

[ashleyconnor]

Do you have var sonar = require('sonar'); at the top of your gulpfile.js?
