Hi Support team. We are currently experiencing an issue after upgrading from sonarcloud-github-action to sonarqube-scan-action. We receive the error mv: cannot overwrite ‘/home/runner/work/_temp/sonar-scanner-cli-6.2.1.4610-Linux-X64/sonar-scanner-6.2.1.4610-linux-x64’: Directory not empty when the…

Hi @fjiang-aamc , All tests and user reports in the last month indicate that the problem should be solved. So I am un-assigning myself from this issue.

We’re also having this issue and it’s blocking our pipeline. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @fjiang-aamc and @ianpogi5 , Thanks for your report and apologies for the issue caused by this update.

Hi @ianpogi5 , Yes, v3 is deprecated, but still functional. We are keeping it up to date with bug fixes and security patches until v4 is up to speed. As for @fjiang-aamc , it would be useful if you could share your logs, in particular the ones related to action/cache. Part of those logs are in the m…

[image] Fjiang: Hi Antonio another question is why is sonar cache so large that is being saved? Hi @fjiang-aamc , Has been the cache size growing, since the first few executions? That may be an indication that the runner temporary directory has not been cleaned after the run. To be on the …
