Print SonarQube issues/conditions to Azure DevOps logs when quality gate fails (pysonar + Py

SonarQube Server / Community Build
,

I’d like to ask about surfacing more detailed quality gate failure information in Azure DevOps logs when running Python scans via pysonar.

:white_check_mark: Current setup

  • SonarQube: self-hosted

  • Language: Python

  • CI: Azure DevOps

  • Scanner: pysonar

  • I’m running the scan from a bash script like this:

#!/bin/bash

# 1. Activate the environment where pysonar is installed
source ~/sonarqube/sonar-venv/bin/activate

echo "🔍 Running SonarQube Scan..."

SONAR_HOST="http://127.0.0.1:9000"
SONAR_TOKEN="***masked***"   # stored as a pipeline secret
PROJECT_KEY="Automations_automationfunc_1d75a13d-59c4-4898-b29a-977900ff5189"

# 2. Run pysonar scan and wait on the quality gate
pysonar \
  --sonar-host-url="$SONAR_HOST" \
  --sonar-token="$SONAR_TOKEN" \
  --sonar-project-key="$PROJECT_KEY" \
  --sonar-sources=. \
  --sonar-qualitygate-wait

SCAN_STATUS=$?

if [ $SCAN_STATUS -ne 0 ]; then
    echo "❌ SonarQube scan failed, aborting commit. Status: $SCAN_STATUS"
    exit 1
fi

# 3. Deactivate the environment after the job is done
deactivate

This works: when the quality gate fails, the script exits non-zero and my pipeline fails.

:thinking: What I’m trying to achieve

What I can’t see right now in the Azure DevOps logs is:

  • Which condition(s) caused the quality gate to fail (e.g. “Coverage on new code < 80%”, “New bugs > 0”), and/or

  • A brief list/summary of the issues that triggered the failure

My goal is to print some useful information to the terminal / Azure DevOps pipeline logs at the moment the quality gate fails, so developers don’t always have to click through to SonarQube just to see why it failed.

Hi,

Can you share what version you’re running?

 
Thx,
