Azure Devops Gradle Pipeline -> 'Project was never analyzed. A regular analysis is required before a branch analysis.'

SonarQube Cloud

Hello everyone!

When building my project with the build pipeline on AzureDevops I get the above mentioned error.
To integrate sonarcloud I followed the guide at https://sonarcloud.io/documentation/integrations/vsts/

SonarCloud:
Organization and project was created, Token was generated for my user which is Administrator in the Organization and the Project.

AzureDevops:
Added the token as an external Service Connection.
Adapted my existing Gradle Pipeline:
Added “Prepare Analysis on SonarCloud” and adjusted the Gradle step.

I tried to first tried to “Cpecify version number” in gradle task to 2.8. This did not work, therefore I also tried to define it in the build.gradle as follows:
plugins {
id ‘checkstyle’
id ‘org.sonarqube’ version ‘2.8’
}

I could not find a way to trigger an initial analysis from the SonarCloud interface. I also build the master branch through the pipeline to trigger the “regular” analysis.

How do I get around this error?

Best Regards
Andreas

A regular analysis is required before a branch analysis.

Looks like before analyzing the branch you should analyze a main branch.

I have run the Pipeline for feature branches, but also the master branch and have always received the same message.

After your comment I then also tried the develop branch which is the base for all the feature branches, and it finally worked.
Thank you for the comment!
