404 error with the api/hotspots/search endpoint during Github action run

[Hriday_Bhardwaj]

• ALM used : Github

• CI system used : Github Actions

• Scanner command used when applicable : sonar-scanner

• Languages of the repository : Typescript , Javascript

• Error observed : ```raise HTTPError(http_error_msg, response=self)

  requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 404 Client Error: for url: https://sonarcloud.io/api/hotspots/search?projectKey=McCainFoods_DGAG_AOC_WEBAPP&branch=shruti-cicd&ps=500&p=1&status=TO_REVIEW```

• Steps to reproduce : Making a get request to the above mentioned url (the project is private)

Requests to the GET api/issues/search returns an expected response , only the requests to the hotspots endpoint fails with 404 (have tried updating the token also though if that were the case the issues endpoint would have also failed). I am able to get the response on my local machine but getting a 404 while using the action.

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

It’s not clear to me why GitHub Actions analysis would be making a request to the hotspots search endpoint.

Since the project is private, authentication will be needed to access that endpoint. The token you’ve provided analysis will be used automatically for all normal analysis functions, but for additional calls you’ll need to provide explicit authentication.

 
HTH,
