Quality Gate in Pull Requests not firing

Version of SonarQube:
before the update: 9.9.7
now: 2025.1
Developer Edition

Sonarqube Gradle Plugin: 6.0.1.5171

We’ve configured a Quality Gate that should ensure that no new code is being added that has Critical or Blocker Issues based on our definition in the Quality Profile.

After the recent upgrade we looked a bit closer in the results and I found a Pull Request analysis that had new issues - so I looked into them and found a critical - although only a code smell it should have fired the Quality Gate.

But this however is still marked as passed/green.

I was checking this with the branch and the Pull Request build, but none of them was complaining.

Actually doing some more tests with the new version it seems to behave as expected. However the older installation was definitely broken as it did not complain when building the same project branches.

Before we had the gradle plugin version 5.1.0.4882 and SonarQube 9.9.7, have there been any known issues or where there any improvements regarding short lived branches / pull request Quality Gates?

Hi,

Short-lived branches went away quite a while ago.

I’m not immediately aware of any problems around PR Quality Gates, no.
