I am trying to incorporate sonarscan into my github action pipeline but I kept running into this error
15:59:47.531 ERROR: Failed bootstrap index response: <!DOCTYPE html>
I have seen other questions and yes, I have checked my host URL.

here is the log:

and here is the github action

sonarqube:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      with:
        # Disabling shallow clone is recommended for improving relevancy of reporting
        fetch-depth: 0
    - name: SonarQube Scan
      uses: sonarsource/sonarqube-scan-action@master
      with:
        projectBaseDir: basedir/
        args: >
          -Dsonar.cs.coverage.reportPaths=coverage.xml
          -Dsonar.verbose=true
          -Dsonar.projectKey=sample.project.key 
          -Dsonar.host.url=${{ secrets.SONAR_HOST_URL }}
          -Dsonar.login=${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }} 
      env:
        SONAR_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}
        SONAR_HOST_URL: ${{ secrets.SONAR_HOST_URL }}

Is there any other solutions to resolve this issue other than changing the URL

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

The error is telling you that when analysis reached out to the server for the bootstrap bundle, instead of the expected JSON document, it got HTML. That indicates that the wrong URL was called. If there were a problem with permissions, it would show up later in the process.

So, sorry but there is no other answer than correcting the URL (or talking to your network folks to get them to stop blocking the calls).
