Any idea what is wrong here? How do I fix this issue.

Hey there.

How are you executing analysis of the code (Using Maven? Gradle? The vanilla SonarScanner?)

Sharing your Azure DevOps Pipeline configuration (which runs the SonarQube analysis) might be helpful.

Running it using maven, here part of Azure pipeline

stages:
  - stage: Build
    displayName: 'Build & Test Stage'

      - job: codelintAndCoverage

That’s really interesting – thanks. I’ll flag this thread for some expert attention.

My code base was messed up, intellij doesn’t show directory renaming nicely in changes. So actually I had to change directory name and commit to fix it. It was showing correct name when I deleted project and did git pull again it showed wrong package name which then I fixed. Overall you can close the issue now. Thanks.
