More specifically we are looking at the analyze part of the code. When it gets to that part it gives me an error that it cannot authorize using the token and I know for the fact that the problem is not in the token. This only happens when I try to run the analysis into multiple jobs but when I run everything to a single job the problem is not present. This is the code when I combine it to a single job :

Why doesn't it accept the token when I am trying to run it into multiple jobs?

The problem was that I should use vars instead of env like this:

${{vars.SONAR_HOST_STAGING_URL}}

instead of:

${{env.SONAR_HOST_STAGING_URL}}
