Hello,

We are facing a blocking issue with our SonarQube analysis in our Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines. The analysis sometimes succeeds, but often fails with the following error:

##[error]14:24:45.223 ERROR Error during SonarScanner CLI execution
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Fail to download scanner-enterprise-2025.1.0.102418-all.jar to /home/vsts/.sonar/cache/_tmp/fileCache5351734524601697426.tmp

	at org.sonarsource.scanner.cli.Main.analyze(Main.java:75)
	at org.sonarsource.scanner.cli.Main.main(Main.java:63)
Caused by: java.io.EOFException: null

Steps we tried:

  • We are using a Microsoft self-hosted agent (we have both Ubuntu & Windows).
  • We have cleared the SonarQube cache.
  • We have verified connectivity between the Microsoft-Self agent and the SonarQube server.

Despite these actions, the issue persists. Has anyone encountered a similar problem, or does anyone have suggestions on how to resolve this?

Thank you for your help!

Best regards,
Bilel

Hi Billel,

An EOFException signals a premature end of the file being received. Have you talked to your network folks? I suspect something “helpful” on the network is interfering here.
