During the build is executed analysys of the code through the sonarcloud. Suddenly sonar step started to fail with
```auto
ERROR: Error during SonarQube Scanner execution
ERROR: Not authorized. Please check the properties sonar.login and sonar.password.
```
[example failing build](https://travis-ci.com/Ontotext-AD/graphdb-workbench/jobs/254392642)
Tried to renew the sonar token with no luck. Any ideas on what might be the reason for this behavior?

I can confirm that, multiple projects suddenly started failing:

We have the same issue.

There is a problem here: [https://github.com/Ontotext-AD/graphdb-workbench/blob/3b88c8afbb211cffb4da687bad41f1c7c1c92e69/.travis.yml#L21](https://github.com/Ontotext-AD/graphdb-workbench/blob/3b88c8afbb211cffb4da687bad41f1c7c1c92e69/.travis.yml#L21)

All is good but I still can’t get it running. Following [this guide](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/sonarcloud/)
I got the sonar token and encrypted it through [this resource](http://rkh.github.io/travis-encrypt/public/index.html) which I found in the [apps listing](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/apps/). I didn’t use the travis CLI as I can’t get it running as well. Encrypted token I put in the .travis.yml
```auto
addons:
sonarcloud:
organization: "ontotext-ad"
token:
secure: "encrypted token here"
```
After this I still have the build failing due to the same `ERROR: Not authorized.` error.
Any Ideas on how can I proceed? Also is this site which I’m using for the encryption still relevant for the job or it’s outdated?
