Must-share information (formatted with Markdown):

  • which versions are you using (SonarQube Server / Community Build, Scanner, Plugin, and any relevant extension)
  • how is SonarQube deployed: zip, Docker, Helm
  • what are you trying to achieve
  • what have you tried so far to achieve this

Do not share screenshots of logs – share the text itself (bonus points for being well-formatted)!

on the sonar cloud end

pls see uploaded pics too.

Hi Elisha,

This error has nothing to do with your Azure PAT. This is about the initial connection to SonarQube for Cloud. At a guess, your SONAR_TOKEN envvar has been munged. (Your SONAR_TOKEN is generated at/from/by SonarQube for Cloud.)

Hi Ann, thanks for your response, could you pls advise how to fix it. I don’t remember changing anything to cause this

Regards,

Elisha

Hi Elisha,

I would try generating a new token and updating that in your pipeline / environment.
