Unable to load component class org.sonar.scanner.report.MetadataPublisher

CDH · October 1, 2025, 10:19am

Hi,

I’m running into an issue when executing the SonarScanner in my Azure DevOps pipeline. The scanner fails with the following error trace:

ERROR: Error during SonarScanner execution
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to load component class org.sonar.scanner.report.MetadataPublisher
...
Caused by: com.sonarsource.scanner.engine.webapi.client.HttpException: Error 404 on https://api.sona

Key points from the logs:

The scanner starts normally, but then tries to call https://api.sonarcloud.io/analysis/analyses
That request returns 404, which then cascades into the MetadataPublisher / AnalysisCreator failures.
The run ends with The SonarScanner did not complete successfully.

Environment:

CI: Azure DevOps pipeline, using Azure task:

- task: SonarCloudAnalyze@3
  inputs:
    jdkversion: 'JAVA_HOME_17_X64'
  displayName: Run Code Analysis

SonarCloud organization + project are correctly configured
Token is valid and available as SONAR_TOKEN

What I’ve tried:

Checked network connectivity → api.sonarcloud.io is reachable.
Verified my sonar.organization and sonar.projectKey values, i refreshed these in case.
Compared with other forum posts (e.g. SonarQube Cloud authentication issues) but my case is different since I get 404, not 403.

Exact same error on a different pipeline/project now

CDH · October 1, 2025, 3:37pm

Anybody from Sonar able to advise on this error? It’s now blocking us, so i’ve had to disable it entirely.

Colin · October 2, 2025, 8:40am

Hey there.

Is there any chance you’re using “Ignore issues on blocks” configuration in your project? We had a similar report yesterday, although in this case it was error 500.

Colin · October 2, 2025, 9:29am

A post was merged into an existing topic: Cannot create scan with “Ignore issues on blocks” config

CDH · October 2, 2025, 9:47am

We’re not using sonar.issue.ignore.block.

After switching on debug, i noticed it’s producing a 404 on the anaylsis/analyse

As discussed with @CDH via private message, the issue was about a leading space in the organization key.

I’m having kind of the same issue “java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to load component class org.sonar.scanner.report.MetadataPublisher” can you share an exemple of what exactly worked for you?

@FAZE

We fixed this by removing the whitespace in our projectKey, within the template which calls SonarAnalyze (ADO Task).

e.g. ‘ 123456’ > ‘123456’

The sonar team confirmed that some new APIs are being called by the scanner, which is why this only becoming a problem now. Removing the whitespace, fixed it for us.

Hello Chris,

Thanks for the reply, it wasn’t the case for me. Ifor anyone having the same problem : for me the issue was more with the token, I created the token with a regular profile not admin one, and I didn’t have all the required permission.
