    We are getting a quality gate failure with 2 new issues. But when we click the link to the said issues it says “No Issues. Hooray!”.

Hello @llyderino,

Thanks for the screenshot.

A couple of questions to narrow this down:

  1. When you reindexed, did you do a full ES reindex (stop, clear the ES data directory,
    restart), or just the reindex trigger from the UI/API? If it was only a partial/API-level
    reindex, can you try a full one per the reindexing docs? Please outline the steps you completed.
  2. Since you’re on 2026.1 in Docker, where is your Elasticsearch data volume actually mounted? Some customers have experienced this symptom on 2026.1 when ES data lives outside the default SonarQube data path (e.g., a custom volume/bind mount pointing elsewhere). Moving it back under the default /data path and reindexing have resolved it for some users with a similar symptom.

Let us know what you find.

Best regards,

Stevan
