Not able to generate report from Web API without branch(optional) parameter

[RohKumarT]

SonarQube version: 8.9 LTS
Plugin Version : 4.0.0

I am using web API to generate the reports. As per the documentation branch parameter is optional, However when i try to generate report without branch parameter i get the below error, and when i passed the branch(I just have default master) parameter, then i was able to generate the reports.

Error:

Hi @RohKumarT
Thanks for the feedback and sorry you met this issue.
We'll have a look into it as soon as possible, sorry for the huge delay.

Hi @RohKumarT
I just did some tests and am able to reproduce this error.
I'll investigate a bit but this seems to be a real bug.

Hi @RohKumarT
We fixed your issue and the PR is ready to be merged on the dev branch.
We may also add a new feature in dev before we could merge it into master, and create a new release.
I'm sorry for the delay, but if you desperately need that fix, you could build the plugin from the fix branch directly.

@Sancretor Thank you very much!. As of now i am creating reports providing the branch name, so it is working. I will wait for new release , and use the same. I really appreciate for your effort and time into it. Sorry i am not aware of the sonarqube plugin development, i will surely learn and try to contribute once my project things gets settles. :)

Hi @RohKumarT
Don't worry too much about learning how to develop plugins, providing your feedback regarding issues is already contributing ;)
That said, any PR is welcome !
