Not picking up version from package.json

[heruan]

I'm using the latest version of both SQ and this scanner, but it's not picking up the version field from package.json and in SQ I get "unknown version".

If I put sonar.projectVersion in sonarqube.properties then it works, but having to maintain a redundant version field is error-prone.

Is the scanner supposed to pick up the version from package.json?

Note: I'm running the scanner from the command line.

It seems to only look at the package.json if there is not a properties file (by design). There should be a way to have a properties file and leave out the version or name so it gets picked up from the package.json

I beleive @Cowdrey is right. scanner should give precedence to package,json and pickup version rather from properties file. Its not fair to manually give same version in more than one place.
