No javaHome property in Config.json

[AlexP524]

Hi. I am getting the following error when sfdx-code-analyzer runs in VS Code:

"The Java Home is invalid: C:\Program Files\RedHat\java-21-openjdk-21.0.5.0.10-2\bin. Error code: ENOENT.
Please verify that Java 11 or later is installed on your machine and try again."

Based on posts, the solution is to update the javaHome property in the .sfdx-scanner\Config.json file. But there isn't a "javaHome" property in my config.json. Should I add it? If so, where in the file and what should the format be? (Sorry, bit new to this.)

TIA

@AlexP524 , can you please confirm what version of the code analyzer you're running, by doing sf plugins?

Hi @jfeingold35. Here's what I got:

@AlexP524 , that version is several months behind. Could you please try sf install @salesforce/sfdx-scanner@latest to update to the latest version, then try again and see if the error still occurs?

@jfeingold35, the command sf install @salesforce/sfdx-scanner@latest didn't work for me. It said:

`PS C:\Users\239028\OneDrive - Western Union\Documents\Projects\SALDVORGJC-1> sf install @salesforce/sfdx-scanner@latest
 »   Warning: @salesforce/cli update available from 2.66.7 to 2.76.7.
 »   Warning: install @salesforce/sfdx-scanner@latest is not a sf command.
 Did you mean static-resource generate? (Y/n)
 »   Error: Run sf help for a list of available commands.`

I ran sfdx update and got this:

`PS C:\Users\239028\OneDrive - Western Union\Documents\Projects\SALDVORGJC-1> sfdx update

Sorry, my bad. The command should have been sf plugins install @salesforce/sfdx-scanner@latest. Does that work?

[AlexP524]

Ah! That ran. Installed v4.9.0. I've restarted VS Code twice and as of now, it appears to be working.

Thank you for all you help @jfeingold35 !
