This has really high priority since this blocks basically all Android projects from properly updating to AGP 9.0. There is also no workaround inside sonar, since isSkipProject=true does not prevent the configurationAction of the SonarResolverTask: sonar-scanner-gradle/src/main/java/org/sonarqube/gradle/SonarQubePlugin.java at 6f92472b9256ede9512fd3c5cb4e81c5e94ebec4 · SonarSource/sonar-scanner-gradle · GitHub @Colin Would be great if the sonar team could fix this ASAP. :folded_hands:

Hi, This is flagged for the team. Ann

Hey @michael-winkler and @G00fY2, Thank you for the heads up, we have had the support AGP 9 in the backlog for a while and we have re-prioritized it to tackle it in the coming days as discussed in this post.

@G00fY2 I was able to reproduce the issue discussed above when invoking the sonar task but not a configuration time. Would you mind sharing how you add the plugin to your configuration?

@Dorian_Burihabwa I also do not see the error message posted in the initial post. Our error message looks like this: + ./gradlew sonar --no-parallel Calculating task graph as no cached configuration is available for tasks: sonar > Task :build-logic:checkKotlinGradlePluginConfigurationErrors SKIPPED > Task :build-logic:compileKotlin UP-TO-DATE > Task :build-logic:compileJava NO-SOURCE > Task :build-logic:pluginDescriptors UP-TO-DATE > Task :build-logic:processResources UP-TO-DATE > Task :build-logic:classes UP-TO-DATE > Task :build-logic:jar UP-TO-DATE FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * What went wrong: Could not determine the dependencies of task ‘:sonar’. > Extension of type ‘AppExtension’ does not exist.

[image] Michael Winkler: Your error message is different but the solution for this is the same. This is not an sonar specific “solution” it’s a workaround to opt-out of the new AGP 9 DSL completely. This flag is well documented and it can be temporary used until all plugins are migrated. But this discussion should be about supporting the Sonar team to actually fix/adopt the Sonar Gradle Plugin to this new DSL. :slight_smile:

I completely agree with you. I only meant this as a temporary solution until we no longer need android.newDsl=false to build the app.
