Hey there,

i am trying to configure a status check in Azure Devops for a SonarQube analysis and i got this error:

Pull Request decoration failed: Unable to contact Azure DevOps Server: Pull request status rejected by status policy. Policy configuration requires status to be posted on iteration

The status on the pull requests stays in the waiting state.

I figured out, that this error only occurs if the status policy is configured with Reset conditions - Reset status whenever there are new changes. If it is configured without this setting, than everything works fine.

What can i do, to get this working with the Reset status toogle?

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

Where (on which side) did you see this message?

It’s not clear to me how you’re trying to configure this. Are you using a commercial edition of SonarQube?

Hey :wave:

I am using sonar enterprise and I am seeing this error message in the background tasks of the project in sonarqube. The waiting state is shown for the status check in azure devops.

Hi,

The docs make some mentions of branch policies. It looks like this is something you need to configure on the Azure side.

Yes that is correct and there is a setting for „reset status if new changes“ in azure devops but when I activate this flag I get this error in sonarqube.

Hi Ann,

this is the dialogue, i am talking about Azure Devops - Configure Branch Policy

Thanks for looking into it

Hi,

Backing up…

Why do you need the “reset status” toggle?

The documentation says this

Reset conditions is used to determine when a posted status is no longer valid. If the status posted is specific to the latest code (i.e. a build), check Reset status whenever there are new changes to reset the status when the source branch changes.

as far as i understand this means, that the status check will be reset after new code has been pushed. Am i understand this not correctly?

I want a state where the pull request gets reevaluated if the code changes, e.g. if the first run returns 20% code coverage and than the coverage is improved i want it to succeed if the quality gate has been reached

Hi,

That’s managed in your CI - a new push should trigger a new build/analysis - and the SonarCloud side. I don’t think you need these policies.

I think in the api to update the status, you can specify the iterationId. When the reset toggle is enabled and try to post a status on the pullRequest, you will get a 403 response.

The Iterationid is available as a predefined variable: System.PullRequest.PullRequestNumber.

This issue still isn’t solved. Would be great if this can be solved. After a push, you simply want to reset the status checks so that a PR can’t be completed until the status checks reports a success again. If you wouldn’t reset the status check you could complete a PR after a push using the previous status (which could be outdated due to the latest push).

Hi @sebastiaanspeck,

You’ve resurrected a topic that’s 2 years old. Per the FAQ, please don’t do that. Please create a new thread with all your details.
