I'm integrating Sonar to my nodejs project and when I run gulp to execute sonar, I got following error:

[11:43:47] 'sonar' errored after 61 ms

Which Node version are you using? Are you on a 32bit Windows installation?

Looks like the problem is similar to what is described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9080085/node-js-find-home-directory-in-platform-agnostic-way

To confirm this, can you try the following:

1. Open C:\Users\IBM_ADMIN\AR_Projects\ar-api\node_modules\sonarqube-scanner\dist\sonarqub e-scanner-executable.js
2. At line Test AS #58, replace process.env.HOME by require('os').homedir()
3. Try to execute the analysis and see if it succeeds or not

I'm using Node V6.9.2 and on 64bit windows. Let me try with your recommendation

[tinhdv]

I confirm that your recommendation is working, could you update the code for windows ? so other people will not face same issue.

Thank you so much @bellingard!

[bellingard]

Thanks for the confirmation, I will push a fix soon.
And thanks for reporting the bug!
