Template for a good new topic, formatted with Markdown:

Node.js 20 actions are deprecated. 
The following actions are running on Node.js 20 and may not 
work as expected: SonarSource/sonarqube-scan-action@v7.0.0. 
Actions will be forced to run with Node.js 24 by default starting 
June 2nd, 2026. Node.js 20 will be removed from the runner on 
September 16th, 2026.
Please check if updated versions of these actions are available
that support Node.js 24. 
To opt into Node.js 24 now, set the FORCE_JAVASCRIPT_ACTIONS_TO_NODE24=true environment variable on the runner or in your workflow file. Once Node.js 24 becomes the default, you can temporarily opt out by setting ACTIONS_ALLOW_USE_UNSECURE_NODE_VERSION=true. For more information see: https://github.blog/changelog/2025-09-19-deprecation-of-node-20-on-github-actions-runners/
  • Steps to reproduce: Any github.com user using SonarSource/sonarqube-scan-action is affected
  • Potential workaround: None

Hi @peter.toft !

Thanks for raising this to our attention.

A new version v7.1.0 of the github action has been released, using Node 24.

Workflows referencing the v7 tag or master reference will get the update immediately, others should upgrade to

  • tag v7.1 or v7.1.0
  • or commit 299e4b793aaa83bf2aba7c9c14bedbb485688ec4

Have a nice day!
