I’m not sure how or why this has occured however [this build](https://travis-ci.org/ChocPanda/argonaut-magnolia/jobs/542527087) appears to fail because having updated my sonar plugin, it’s failing to find SONAR\_SCANNER\_HOME environment variable which should be exported as an environment variable by the sonar plugin I have configured.

I would have blamed my sbt plugin however I was able to fix the build [here](https://travis-ci.org/ChocPanda/argonaut-magnolia/builds/542832431/config) by manually defining the SONAR\_SCANNER\_HOME environment variable
