I’m trying to add my github project to sonarclound, i do all the require step like add new organization, add project and when in the step configure project i get stuck, i do the exactly every step but it still can’t not configure:  
I add the SONAR\_TOKEN:

 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/sonarsource/uploads/sonarcommunity/original/3X/f/b/fb5d0ce4ea288eb0cc53158067d6b71d0fcb4acd.png)  
i add the SONAR\_TOKEN to build.yml file:

I added required sonar-project.properties  
 ![Screen Shot 2022-03-23 at 17.28.55](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/sonarsource/uploads/sonarcommunity/original/3X/e/5/e55131672ac9aed489da6b258fb72840f873e6ce.png)

But it won’t work, so i use the cli, using this function to add the scanner:

```auto
export SONAR_SCANNER_VERSION=4.7.0.2747
export SONAR_SCANNER_HOME=$HOME/.sonar/sonar-scanner-$SONAR_SCANNER_VERSION-macosx
curl --create-dirs -sSLo $HOME/.sonar/sonar-scanner.zip https://binaries.sonarsource.com/Distribution/sonar-scanner-cli/sonar-scanner-cli-$SONAR_SCANNER_VERSION-macosx.zip
unzip -o $HOME/.sonar/sonar-scanner.zip -d $HOME/.sonar/
export PATH=$SONAR_SCANNER_HOME/bin:$PATH
export SONAR_SCANNER_OPTS="-server"

```

Use this to add to current project:

```auto
sonar-scanner \
  -Dsonar.organization=khanh21011999 \
  -Dsonar.projectKey=khanh21011999_testUnitTest \
  -Dsonar.sources=. \
  -Dsonar.host.url=https://sonarcloud.io

```

But it return this in the terminal

````auto

ERROR: You're not authorized to run analysis. No sonar.login or SONAR_TOKEN env variable was set

ERROR:

ERROR: Re-run SonarScanner using the -X switch to enable full debug logging.```

Please help, what did i do wrong?

Hey there.

Checking your GitHub repository, it looks like your GitHub Actions _build.yml_ file has been consistently malformed. I would recommend copying what’s in the SonarCloud UI tutorial _exactly_ (except changing the branch name from `master` to `main`).

You run into this issue locally as you haven’t passed `sonar.login` or set the `SONAR_LOGIN` environment variable (`export SONAR_TOKEN=`)
