Hey there.

What is the default branch of your repository in Azure DevOps – and you triggered an analysis of that branch? You should see in the logs at the end of analyses a link to where the results went:

INFO: ANALYSIS SUCCESSFUL, you can browse https://sonarcloud.io/dashboard?id=azdvps&branch=main
INFO: Note that you will be able to access the updated dashboard once the server has processed the submitted analysis report
INFO: More about the report processing at https://sonarcloud.io/api/ce/task?id=AXsMC8m21Bi3xTI0SZgL
INFO: Analysis total time: 17.690 s

The default branch in Azure DevOps is develop.

All PRs are merged there.

So the difference with your messages is in the first line. I have a pull request query parameter in the link - https://sonarcloud.io/dashboard?id=MyProjectName&pullRequest=2347

Okay. What about when you run your build on the develop branch? Are the SonarCloud tasks executed?

Hi Colin. After a couple attempts the dashboard for main branch was updated.
The error message was a bit misleading in regards what actions should be taken to resolve it.
Thank you.
