Update
This error happens when there’s a misconfiguration on a SonarQube server. For example… If you create a new application vs. creating a new project. If one creates an application and uses a project key for submitting analyses SonarQube won’t recognize the name and nothing will be be submitted. This is why it reads ‘Test’ is not a project and that’s because it was configured as an application. Make sure you understand the difference between the two.
