sonar.cxx.jsonCompilationDatabase not working

[loomdoom]

Describe the bug
Trying to run analysis using compile_commands.json. Tested with testdata from:
https://github.com/SonarOpenCommunity/sonar-cxx/integration-tests/testdata/json_db_project/

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Get copy of "SonarOpenCommunity/sonar-cxx/integration-tests/testdata/json_db_project/"
2. Run docker sonarqube:
   docker run -d --name sonarqube -e SONAR_ES_BOOTSTRAP_CHECKS_DISABLE=true -p 9000:9000 sonarqube:9.9.6-community
3. install sonar-cxx:
   sudo docker cp sonar-cxx-plugin-2.1.1.488.jar sonarqube:/opt/sonarqube/extensions/plugins/sonar-cxx-plugin-2.1.1.488.jar
4. configure sonar qube add project with project key "json_db_project", generate token etc
5. Enter folder where json_db_project/ is located
6. sonar-scanner -X
7. result:

expect to analyze files specified in compile_commands.json

There is no match for Analyze only files contained in 'JSON Compilation Database': 0 files. That means the files/paths in the compilation database does not match. The corresponding code is here:

sonar-cxx/sonar-cxx-plugin/src/main/java/org/sonar/plugins/cxx/CxxSquidSensor.java

Line 410 in 3980334

"No files are analyzed, check the settings of 'sonar.projectBaseDir' and 'sonar.cxx.jsonCompilationDatabase'."
