Hello Team,

I’m using sonarqube v.7.9 and I see the below error while building the code through jenkins:

```auto

First, your version is past EOL. You should upgrade to either the latest version or the current LTS at your earliest convenience. Your upgrade path is:

> 7.9 → 8.9.2 → 9.1 (last step optional)

You may find the [Upgrade Guide](https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/setup/upgrading/) and the [LTS-to-LTS Upgrade Notes](https://docs.sonarqube.org/8.9/setup/lts-to-lts-upgrade-notes/) helpful. If you have questions about upgrading, feel free to open a new thread for that [here](https://community.sonarsource.com/tag/8-9-lts-upgrade).

Regarding your actual question, this is typically caused by two different analyzers claiming the same language and trying to save the same basic metrics for a file. As part of your upgrade, look carefully at the 3rd-party plugins you’re using and make sure you don’t reinstall a plugin that declares the CSS language.
