I have followed the instructions on Jacoco docs and soanrqube docs. I have my sonar server running on a self hosted runner. I have left the param sonar.coverage.jacoco.xmlReportPaths on Sonar UI empty as it was mentioned it will take the default path as target/site/jacoco/jacoco.xml. I have not set this property in my pom as well and when I locally run mvn test, I can see the report xml file generated in the same location. I can see the html page as well about my code coverage.
Now I want this to be shown on my sonar UI also. As mentioned I am using a remote self hosted runner with github actions. I can see the new code added on sonarqube UI (all the changes I did to pom for jacoco) but the code coverage remains 0%.
I saw an answer to move artifacts between workflow steps but did not understand. Here is my workflow file (anything removed from file is replaced by …):

        run: mvn -B verify -DskipTests org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:sonar -Dsonar.projectKey=... -Dsonar.projectName='...'

In pom.xml, I added plugin and dependency, plugin:

<plugin>
        <groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
        <artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${jacoco.version}</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>prepare-agent</id>
            <goals>
              <goal>prepare-agent</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
          <execution>
            <id>report</id>
            <phase>test</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>report</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>

Properties in pom.xml:

<jacoco.version>0.8.10</jacoco.version>
    <sonar.java.coveragePlugin>jacoco</sonar.java.coveragePlugin>

Dependency in pom.xml:

<dependency>
      <groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
      <artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>0.8.11</version>
    </dependency>

I have also tried giving same path to sonar.coverage.jacoco.xmlReportPaths in pom properties and on sonar gui and it still didn’t work. I dont have any logs of error although on server I can see in sonar container logs:
