I’m seeing this error in our PR scans:

Could not find ref ‘main’ in refs/heads, refs/remotes/upstream or refs/remotes/origin. You may see unexpected issues and changes. Please make sure to fetch this ref before pull request analysis.

I found a topic somewhere (on this forum, I believe) that suggested to issue a git fetch on the base branch before scanning, so since I was having some SonarCloud issues this morning (other thread), I decided to also tackle this issue. Easy enough to add a git fetch. See below my new pipeline step (git fetch is added in my latest PR):

        stage('SonarScanner Start PR Scan') {
            when { changeRequest() }
            steps {
                bat "git fetch origin ${CHANGE_TARGET}"
                bat "dotnet sonarscanner begin /k:\"${SONAR_PROJECT}\" /o:\"myowner\" /s:\"${WORKSPACE}\\SonarQube.Analysis.xml\" \
                        /d:sonar.host.url=https://sonarcloud.io \
                        /d:sonar.login=\"${SONAR_TOKEN}\" \
                        /d:sonar.pullrequest.key=${CHANGE_ID} \
                        /d:sonar.pullrequest.branch=${CHANGE_BRANCH} \
                        /d:sonar.pullrequest.base=${CHANGE_TARGET} \
                        /d:sonar.pullrequest.provider=bitbucketcloud \
                        /d:sonar.pullrequest.bitbucketcloud.owner=${REPO_OWNER} \
                        /d:sonar.pullrequest.bitbucketcloud.repository=${REPO_NAME} \
                        /d:sonar.cs.dotcover.reportsPaths=${CVG_OUT_FILE}"
            }
        }

Jenkins log for this step below:

… yet if I look at the scan for this PR, I still see the error!

Any thoughts?

I think I got it - my syntax was slightly off it seems. Should have been:

bat "git fetch origin ${CHANGE_TARGET}:refs/remotes/origin/${CHANGE_TARGET}"
