Problems with SonarCloud Analysis - getting NullPointerException

[Jorg_Hohwiller (Jörg Hohwiller)]

Dear SonarSource team,

first of all thanks for making SonarQube and SonarCloud that I generally like very much.
However, we currently struggle hard with our SonarCould Analysis that is failing for our github project with NPE

Failed to execute goal org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:3.7.0.1746:sonar (default-cli) on project devon4j: null: MojoExecutionException: NullPointerException -> [Help 1]

The error went away and now came back. Details:

• CI workflow: devon4j/build.yml at master · devonfw/devon4j · GitHub
• CI log: #323: Add spring integration test to archetype #323 by suvmanda · Pull Request #339 · devonfw/devon4j · GitHub
• Issue: integrate sonarcloud analysis into devon4j CI pipeline · Issue #294 · devonfw/devon4j · GitHub

I found this related stackoverflow thread:

Sonar null pointer error when publishing report

However, I am unable to fix the error and get our sonarcloud analysis stable.
Do you have any clue for us before we have to give up?

Thank you so much in advance
Jörg

Hello @Jorg_Hohwiller,

Apologies for the delay in responding, looking at your repository it seems you have this issue whenever a forked branch is analysed. This is something we currently don’t support. We recognise that it’s an important feature and it’s on our radar to support.
