Azure DevOps Prepare Analysis Error with upgrade to version 5.3.0

As of today, we are receiving the following error during the Prepare Analysis Configuration step using the Azure DevOps SonarQube Plugin. This started becoming a problem after the plugin automatically upgraded to version 5.3.0 in Azure DevOps Services (SaaS)

The error looks to be related to some sort of TLS settings, and possibly related to this change: https://github.com/SonarSource/sonar-scanner-msbuild/pull/1152/commits. Can someone help us understand why this error is happening and what needs to happen to resolve it? All versions prior to 5.3.0 of the plugin ran successfully. As far as I can tell I cannot force the plugin back to a previous version.

Step output with error:

We’re having the same issue, is there any update?

No update - there are multiple reports of this and no communication from SonarSource… not sure why they haven’t responded to any of the multiple reports of these issues considering how many users it seems to be impacting

Have you got any workaround?

Hi there,

Follow up happened in this other thread : SonarCloudPrepare task failed since upgrade from 1.28 to 1.29 - #18 by mickaelcaro

Let’s continue there, i’m closing this one.

Thank you.
