Sonarqube-scan-action suddenly make an error

fineeun · March 4, 2025, 6:25am

Hello.

I am running the GitHub SonarQube scan action (v4).
Suddenly, the scanner started throwing an error, even though I did not modify the workflow YAML file or change any server settings.

I searched through many articles in this community, GitHub issues, and Google, but I couldn’t find any cases like mine.
I also double-checked my token, host URL, and other settings.
(As I mentioned earlier, the GitHub Actions workflow hasn’t changed—it just suddenly stopped working.)

I first encountered the GitHub Action failure on February 21st.

How can I resolve this error?
Thank you for your help!

Sonarqube Server version: Community Edition Version 9.4 (build 54424)
Deployed: Github action

  sonarqube:
    name: SonarQube Analyzing source code
    runs-on: ubuntu-22.04
    environment: develop
    continue-on-error: true
    steps:
      - name: Checkout source code
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: SonarQube Scan
        uses: sonarsource/sonarqube-scan-action@v4
        env:
          SONAR_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}
          SONAR_HOST_URL: ${{ secrets.SONAR_HOST_URL }}
          LC_ALL: "ko_KR.UTF-8"
        with:
          projectBaseDir: application
          args: >
            -Dsonar.projectKey=${{ secrets.SONAR_PROJECT_KEY }}

Server url is not https. like this: http://domain.aaa:portNumber

Hi,

This is the very first call analysis makes to the server, so its failing indicates that your build agent can no longer talk to your server.

You should talk to your network folks.

HTH,
Ann

My company’s server administrator insists that there were no network changes and suggests that the issue might be due to changes in the SonarQube or GitHub Actions settings.
I will discuss this with them again.
Thank you!

Hi,

You redacted part of your logs, so I can’t tell:

Was the correct URL being called here?

Also, and I can’t believe I failed to mention this initially:

Your version is way past EOL. You should upgrade to either the latest version or the current LTA (long-term active version) at your earliest convenience. Your upgrade path is:

9.4 → 9.9.8 → 2025.1

You may find these resources helpful:

If you have questions about upgrading, feel free to open a new thread for that here.

HTH,
Ann

Hi, Ann

Yes, I also tried calling the correct URL and token by manually entering the GitHub secret values.

OK, I will try upgrading the version and then run the GitHub Action again.

Thank you for your help.
