Hi,

Welcome to the community!

It’s not clear to me what the question is.

You’re explicitly passing sonar.branch unconditionally, and you’re getting an error.

In case it helps, the branch/PR context should be read automatically out of your envvars, so you shouldn’t need to pass any of those params.

Tangentially, this

make me think you’re probably building with Maven. In which case, you should be using the SonarScanner for Maven.

 
HTH,
