500 ERROR Something went wrong while trying to get the pullrequest with key

SonarQube Cloud

Hi,

Please could we check what might be going wrong with some of our scans? It only seems to affect certain PRs that have one or more changes to GitHub Action yaml configurations.

  • ALM used: GitHub Actions

  • Scanner command used:

    We’re using the Sonar scan Action

          - name: SonarCloud Scan
        if: always()
        uses: SonarSource/sonarqube-scan-action@v5.0.0
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          SONAR_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}
          SONAR_USER_HOME: "${{ github.workspace }}/.sonar"
        with:
          args: >
            -Dsonar.projectVersion=${{ steps.determine-pr.outputs.pr_number }}
            -X

  • Languages of the repository
    Failure seems to happen when the PR has changes to GitHub Action yaml files, but we’ve not been able to determine the combination of changes that cause the API to 500

The vast majority of PRs for this project are scanned successfully so we’re not sure whats going on.

Many thanks

Hey @DSmith!

I dug into the backend and found that GitHub is returning a 422 error (Unprocessable Content) when querying info for the PR.

I’ll send you the URL that you can try to query to see if it also returns a 422 for you.

Hello @DSmith, so we are waiting 10 times more on the requests that are returning 422, compared to the ones that are returning 200.
These 2 requests were sent a few hours apart, targeting the same PR reported in the logs.

200
200797×318 11.2 KB

422
422791×316 23.8 KB

A few things that are worth noticing:

  • the endpoint for getting a pull request does not list 422 as a potential response. This is not unusual, it’s just a variation of a 400 response, similar to 429 for throttling, 413, etc.. They are usually handled by a proxy service and that’s not in the scope of the API specs (otherwise the list would be huge).

  • I don’t see a particularly concerning trend/pattern here, based on the data form the past month.

    Screenshot 2025-03-27 at 11.15.25
    Screenshot 2025-03-27 at 11.15.252171×246 14.4 KB

  • the requests that are rejected with 422 were less than 200 in the past month, which are around 0.004% of the total requests.

That being said, it makes sense to investigate whether the issue originates from us or from GitHub. To achieve that, as GitHub suggests, we should log the content of the response and log the entire request on our side so we can correlate the two. Unfortunately this is not trivial, I’ll open a ticket to follow up with this investigation and to collect all the required data.

In the meantime, can you please clarify what do you mean by:

Failure seems to happen when the PR has changes to GitHub Action yaml files, but we’ve not been able to determine the combination of changes that cause the API to 500

Does this happens only on PRs that are touching just that yaml file?

Hi @cristian.ambrosini,

Thanks for looking into this.

Does this happens only on PRs that are touching just that yaml file?

Yes, this seems to be the only common factor. Specifically it’s Dependabot PRs updating the archive/github-actions-slack action across one or more workflow files. i.e

 -       uses: archive/github-actions-slack@v2.9.0
 +       uses: archive/github-actions-slack@v2.10.1

It also happened on PRs 56968, 56359 and 56665.

Ok thanks for the info. I don’t think I can help further until we have more data, we’ll get back once we improve the logging
