Is it possible to set the sonar project quality-gate at the time of sending the data i.e. through the sonar-scanner-cli ? I searched and could not find that option which was earlier available. Is that option disabled? Basically wanted to set the quality-gate for the respective project-key through…

correct. We need to define it at first scan too.
