Our internal customer is running is a Gitlab Server Pipeline (Maven build) connecting to sonarcloud and experiences the following error: The following error occurs: Caused by: org.sonar.api.utils.MessageException: Failed to get CE Task status - No activity found for task 'abcdexyz' Pipeline output: Failed to execute goal org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:3.9.1.2184:sonar (default-cli) on project xxx: Failed to get CE Task status - No activity found for task 'abcdexyz' Is this known behaviour? Retries seem to remedy it for the customer. What can be done to prevent this error? Edit: this also happens for gradle pipelines Thanks!

Hello all, The issue should be resolved. Can you let us know if the failures are resolved for you?

We recently started having the same issue. Sometimes it works and sometimes we get the No activity found for task error. This is now happening for a month if I am correct.

We are running into the same issue. Failed to get CE Task status - No activity found for task .... We figured out that ce-task which cannot be found is returning the needed information, when calling it manually: https://sonarcloud.io/api/ce/task?id= So we are guessing that the call is made before the information is provided sometimes. We tried downgrading back to the previous version 3.9.0.2155 but without success.

Hey @paulhobbel / @Laksuh Do you mind confirming what CI you’re using here (the original post was with GitLab CI) and DevOps Platform (the original post relates to GitLab Server). Understanding if there’s a pattern (or not) is really useful here.

Ofcourse, we are using GitLab CI as well on a self hosted GitLab Server.

We have same error in our Gitlab CI .

Hi @Colin, is there something we can do to get more attention on this issue? We will gladly provide more information if needed/available.

Hi @Colin Could you give a suggestion for a workaround?
