Help troubleshooting Publish Quality Gate Result failure

[Rob_Esposito]

One of our projects is failing to build via Azure DevOps on the Publish Quality Gate Result task. Unfortunately, the logs are less than helpful.

Where can I find out more information about why this task is failing?

It’s working for other projects under the same DevOps/SonarCloud accounts with the same setup. This project was also working back on 11/20/2018, but when we build the same code on 11/27/2018, it’s failing. There were no changes in our build pipeline since then.

Set the DevOps build variable system.debug to true e.g.

This will turn on the DevOps debugging output, and in the version of the SonarCloud extension you are using it also has the effect of setting sonar.verbose=true which increases the logging level for the Sonar Java components too.
