We’re having exactly the same problem here. It would be great if there were some improvements.

I can see the quality gate result in SonarCloud, but it is not reporting back to the PR in DevOps, thus the PR is stuck with the quality gate status check in “Waiting”. I rotated the token, removed and re-added Quality gate status in the repo settings This happend today randomly. I have 5 reposit…

Hi, Welcome to the community and thanks for this report! To make sure, you say this happens randomly across 5 different repos? Meaning that sometimes the quality gate status does get reflected back to ADO for, say, RepoA, and sometimes it doesn’t? Thx, Ann

We noticed the same in our PRs. Scan is working fine but PR decorations seems to be broken currently. We tried to change the PAT too and added some permissions which did not help. Scan is working and as Mada B said - background tasks look normal

Hi Ann, It actually started today for all repos. we never had a problem until today right now for all repos, the quality gate stays in waiting to clarify what i meant - its not intermitent - so it does not sometimes happen sometimes not. until today everything worked fine. now it stays in waitin…

Same problem here ADO Quality Gate check "Waiting" status - #5 by anelsen Feels like a v4.2.1 ADO SonarCloud extension issue

Hi Andy, I cannot find a resolution. I did check all posts regarding this even the one you showed me. Anyone aware on how to fix this? It’s causing a lot of trouble. There is no option to rollback to a previous version

Hi, Apologies for the disruption, a release has just been issued to fix that.

Hi Claire. Now i am facing a different problem Every build i try to re-queue or run new i get this i tried both self hosted agents and microsoft hosted every build containing sonar tasks fails at the initialize step [image]

Same here- I think this just got way worse In the ADO pipeline “Initialize Job” step, right at the start, I see: Downloading task: SonarCloudAnalyze (4.2.2) Downloading task: SonarCloudPublish (4.2.2) ##[error]Offset to Central Directory cannot be held in an Int64.

Hi there, This is a different issue with Azure extension distribution, that is not on our control. We are working with Azure at the moment - as described in this other thread , the workaround is to uninstall and reinstall the extension.

Hi @Mada_B

Since the unzipping issue is unrelated to this thread, I’m not gonna give updates on this thread anymore about that issue. Please follow this other thread to get informed about any resolution when we’ll have one.
