Dear community,
I’m running SonarQube OnPremise on a self hosted agent, using a public ssl certicate. I triggered scanning from my azure devops pipelines, and since last week, everything works fine. After using a new ssl certificate, i received an error that the certificate isn’t valid - but thats another issue i could solve by replacing the certificate again using a new one.
But now i have a failing “Prepare” task and have no idea whats wrong.
I use yaml pipelines and thats how my task looks like:
# code block
····steps:
···· - task: SonarQubePrepare@7
···· displayName: 'Prepare analysis on SonarQube'
···· inputs:
···· SonarQube: SonarQubeServiceConnectionUrl
···· ScannerMode: 'dotnet'
···· projectKey: [PROJECT KEY]
···· extraProperties: |
···· sonar.host.url=http://localhost:9000
···· sonar.cs.vscoveragexml.reportsPaths=$(Agent.TempDirectory)\**\*.coveragexml
But now i always receive an error:

So what could cause the issue? It seems like the url param is ignored, and the scanner can’t connect because of the missing url param?
