Hi @xiao,

[This documentation](https://bitbucket.org/sonarsource/sonarcloud-quality-gate/src/master/) suggest putting the variable between simple quotes, e.g.:

> ```
> SONAR_QUALITY_GATE_TIMEOUT: '<int>' # Optional
> 
> ```

variables:  
SONAR\_QUALITY\_GATE\_TIMEOUT: ‘60’

I don’t know if this correct, but did you try that?
