Publish Quality Gate Result error on some builds but the same agent

SonarQube Cloud
, ,
1

We use SonarCloud to perform analysis of several projects in one organization. The code and build pipelines are stored in Azure DevOps (dev.azure.com). We use the latest available task versions to integrate with SonarCloud:

  • Prepare Analysis Configuration 1.18.0
  • Run Code Analysis 1.21.0
  • Publish Quality Gate Result 1.10.1

We have an agent hosted within corporate network and use proxy to connect to SonarCloud.

The problem we have is that one of the build analysis succeed but the other with the same task configuration fails to publish quality gate result. The analysis is performed successfully and the gate is calculated in Sonar. Both builds were executed on the same agent, so it’s not agent configuration dependent.

I post below the logs from the successful and failing builds for comparison.

Please help us to understand and diagnose the issue.

Hello @zamojski, looking at the logs and based on your information i would say that could be a networking issue on your side. As you can see lots of API requests failed due to a ETIMEDOUT which is a timed out connection. It is not related to authentication or something else because simple requests like a GET into https://sonarcloud.io/api/server/version should always work (you can test it anywhere if you want). To me the alternate behavior is not something that must be investigated now: you need to know the reason for the failing requests. You can use the above one for debugging this issue, the following command:

curl -i https://sonarcloud.io/api/server/version

Should return (some values maybe change):

HTTP/1.1 200
Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2021 06:59:41 GMT
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Length: 11
Connection: keep-alive
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate
Sonar-Version: 8.9.0.43283

8.0.0.19558%

Unfortunately we can’t help much with that, since this issue is on your side. I could find a lot of topics by Google “azure devops ETIMEDOUT”, maybe is a good to start.

I hope that helps.

I was initially assuming the same but both builds were executed on the same agent, the same machine, and one right after another.

Moreover in the same build the ‘Prepare analysis on SonarCloud’ succeeds without any issues so there must be something wrong with ‘Publish Quality Gate Result’ task.

I’m able to connect the the server https://sonarcloud.io/api/server/version in web browser as well as with curl once the proxy is configured.

$ curl -i https://sonarcloud.io/api/server/version

And as you can see the proxy is configured on the agent ##[debug]Agent.ProxyUrl=http://proxy:8082.

Could be a proxy issue: some times it fails. The time out happened when you didn’t configure the proxy, so if there is a problem with it you will get a timed out, the same issue you have in the pipeline.

Do you still have this issue? It is consistent (happens always, sometimes, for a specific pipeline)?

7

No, it’s not true. It always fails for certain build definition while not for the other. The issue is consistent and behaves always the same for certain pipeline.

8

Is there any way to check why during the same agent job the version check succeeds at the beginning (prepare) and fails at the end (publish quality gate)?

9

@Alexandre_Holzhey Any ideas how to debug this or where to seek for the differences in behavior?

10

The build definition for a failing and a good pipeline is exactly the same? Including environment variables values? Including the environment they are executed? If not, what are the differences?

My assumption is: if one pipeline succeeds and other don’t, probably there is something wrong/different between the pipelines. You should start by investigating these differences.

After many tries we have identified the issue. In the only pipeline that worked correctly we were building a Node.js 12 application. On the others we were not. It turned out that if we add Use Node 12 task to the Azure DevOps pipeline the ‘Publish Quality Gate Result’ task succeeds. The default version in Azure DevOps Agent is 6.x and I believe ‘Publish Quality Gate Result’ task uses that one.

The ‘Run Code Analysis’ (one task above in the pipeline) was not failing on on the same call to https://sonarcloud.io/api/server/version . Most likely it internally requires a newer version of Node.js on which the call succeeds.

In my opinion that clearly indicates that the issue is in Sonar Qube Azure DevOps tasks. At least we have a workaround for now but I think it would be better to get it fixed on your side.
