Hi Ruben,

Thanks for the log. It… didn’t add anything helpful at all. :sweat_smile:

There aren’t any DEBUG-level log messages here. The log ends very early in the process, but I think there still might have been a few. Where/how did you add the sonar.verbose property?

 
Thx,
Ann

Hi Ann,

to the extra properties of the task yaml section.

- task: SonarCloudPrepare@4

inputs:

SonarCloud: 'SonarCloud'

organization: 'smart-int-development'

scannerMode: 'dotnet'

projectKey: 'smart-int-development_SmartDataLink'

projectName: 'SmartDataLink'

extraProperties: |

 sonar.Verbose=true

Thanks,

Ruben

Hi Ruben,

That’s where it should go. I guess there really is no more detail to be had here. Can you identify about when this started happening?

Hi Ann,

we noticed it a week ago.

It is not an application we have done changes recently.

Last successful build was in December.

Other pipelines for other apps using the same task are fine.

We have renewed the SonarCloud token on Friday too.

Thanks,

Hi Ann,

I got it working again now.

Last Friday we decided to create a new token to be shared across different pipelines.

It looks like that didn’t work for this application pipeline.

I created a new token today and replaced it in the service connection for that Azure DevOps Project and the pipeline run again.

After that I have replaced with the shared token created on Friday and it still works.

Not sure what is causing this in the background but sharing in case you want to investigate.

Thanks,

Ruben
