Azure devOps and SonarSource SonarQube plugin

I am running Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines and just added SonarQube to one of them.
At the end we are running a SonarQube community version v. 8.9.7.

I get this error: “To use the property “sonar.branch.name” and analyze branches, Developer Edition or above is required”. The error is clear, but I have not added a branch name anywhere.

The pipeline yaml looks like this:

Hi ArieHein

Thx for your answer.

So… what you are telling me is that I will not be able to use SonarQube Community version with the Azure SonarQube plugin on anything but my production branch, even when the development branch is tagged as the major branch (located in AWS CodeCommit) ? Our production branch is not even called “master” but “main”.

FYI:
I have a local SonarQube Community version installed for POC and that one runs fine on the same repo and branch.

A colleague of mine sent me this link https://community.sonarsource.com/t/error-to-use-the-property-sonar-branch-name-and-analyze-branches/11962/6 which actually “solves” the problem.
