Hey there.

I suggest raising an issue with the maintainer.

Or using the sonar.qualitygate.wait=true analysis parameter as outlined in the documentation page you linked

For other CIs, you can use the sonar.qualitygate.wait=true analysis parameter in your configuration file. Setting sonar.qualitygate.wait to true forces the analysis step to poll your SonarQube instance until the quality gate status is available. This increases the pipeline duration and causes the analysis step to fail any time the quality gate fails, even if the actual analysis is successful. You should only use this parameter if it’s necessary.
