Installed Sonarqube extension on our organization on Devops Azure in cloud at [https://dev.azure.com/](https://dev.azure.com/)  
added sonarqube tasks to YML pipeline, but they will not run because of using minor version in task reference → **SonarQubePrepare@5.13.0**

However I get this error when trying to run pipeline:

> A task is missing. The pipeline references a task called ‘SonarQubePrepare’. This usually indicates the task isn’t installed, and you may be able to install it from the Marketplace: [https://marketplace.visualstudio.com](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com). (Task version 5.13.0, job ‘Job’, step ‘’.)

**NOTE1** : using major version of task such as **SonarQubePrepare@5** works, BUT it breaks my pipeline ( the latest task version 5.15.0 introduced a bug )

**NOTE2** : the minor version works without problem on our on-prem server _Version Azure DevOps Server 2020 Update 1.1_

Hi @flowbrain , thanks for reaching out, I was able to dig up your [previous thread](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/no-analyses-found-in-this-build-even-though-analysis-was-successfully-generated/95180) about this issue. Rather than finding a way to freeze the minor version used for the task, I suggest focusing on fixing the bug you have on the latest version of the plugin.

I hinted [a resolution](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/no-analyses-found-in-this-build-even-though-analysis-was-successfully-generated/95180/4) in the other thread. I recall we had some people having issues because major task versions were mixed in their pipeline, so I have good faith that this will solve your issue.

@benjamin.raymond - all sonar tasks were used with major version 5. There is inherently a bug on our on-prem server _Version Azure DevOps Server 2020 Update 1.1_  
However issue doesn’t reproduce on Azure Devops Services ( in cloud ), hence you may close this ticket ( as we will soon move to azure in cloud )
