As you can see in the error message, the root cause can come from many places. Unless you provide more details on your setup, it’s going to be very difficult to help you troubleshoot this.

Hi @sagararora-gep,

Could you please provide the full log of the end step of the SonarCloud task (ideally with the sonar.verbose=true option set in the begin step)?

Also it could be useful for us to have the log of the build step.

Cheers,
Amaury
