I created a basic test project on SonarCloud with Circle CI. Following the tutorial on the documentation, it worked perfectly, both on scanning the default branch and any PR.
Now I am trying to do the same thing in a “real” project, but this time I have this error.
ERROR: Error during SonarQube Scanner execution ERROR: Parameter ‘sonar.pullrequest.branch’ is mandatory for a pull request analysis
Below is the output of the sonar job (let me know if you need anything more). You can notice it fails just after the configuration of the branch. I am a little bit lost since, on my test project, it goes through the whole process without any issue. The only difference is that, for both Github and Sonarcloud, we use a plan, since it is for a company.

Is it possible that you did not import this project through GitHub, and that you did do that with the test project? A Github API is called to determine the branch of the PR, but that can only be done when SonarCloud knows the location of the repository on GitHub side.
You can easily check if this is the case by going to your project page on SonarCloud, you should see a Github icon next to the project name if it is linked to Github.
Yes I see the GitHub icon next to the project name. The integration should be good because before trying to integrate Sonar into our Circle CI, I tested the “Autoscan” beta feature and it worked well.
Just to be sure I also went to the Pull Request menu on Sonar, and set the Provider to Github and the repo identifier, though I did not have to do that in my test project.
so what was the issue? the missing sonar.organization?
I came here via google search cause I have same issue but I have sonar.organiszation property set. the issue happens in a PR scan. The PR is comming from a fork repository.
Yes it was missing configuration on the sonar project configuration file.
However, regarding your stacktrace, it reminds me that sometimes, for PR, I had to add that in my circle ci file:
command: |
if [[ -z ${CIRCLE_PULL_REQUEST} ]]; then \
sonar-scanner; \
else \
sonar-scanner -Dsonar.pullrequest.key=${CIRCLE_PULL_REQUEST##*/} -Dsonar.pullrequest.branch=${CIRCLE_BRANCH}; \
fi
