Hi,  
After migration to SonarQube 8.9 we faced behavior that we cannot understand. We have a Pull Request and did analysis for it and it passed the quality gate. Then we merged changes to the master branch and did branch analysis again and it failed with 1 new issue on the New Code.

We have default settings for New Code: “ **Previous version** : The New Code will be based on the analysis following the previous version.”

Conditions on New Code apply to all branches and to Pull Requests: Issues is greater than 0

Thank you

Hey there.

Let me suggest sharing:

- A screenshot of your project dashboard (main branch)
- A screenshot of the issue raised after merging your Pull Request (you can obscure the filename, but it should be clear what the issue is about)
- A screenshot of the pull request dashboard (in SonarQube)

Unfortunately, we already fixed the sonar issue in the master branch and it already green. The issue was:  
(S107: Methods should not have too many parameters)

Once we faced this behavior again, I will add a screenshots here

I’ve posted a similar question to this at [Sonar scan passes the PR branch but then fails on the master branch after the PR has merged](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/sonar-scan-passes-the-pr-branch-but-then-fails-on-the-master-branch-after-the-pr-has-merged/142413)
