@jdelvecchio, share the full playbook please.

[jdelvecchio]

playbook :

---
- name: Install SonarQube
  hosts: devops_prod_sonar
  become: true
  roles:
    - role: lean_delivery.java
    - role: geerlingguy.postgresql
    - role: lean_delivery.sonarqube

vars file :

---
sonar_db_password: superpass

sonar_db:
  type: postgresql
  port: 5432
  options: ''
  host: localhost
  name: sonar
  user: sonar
  password: "{{ sonar_db_password }}"

sonar_web_password: magicpass

sonar_version: 10.7.0.96327
sonar_check_url: 'http://{{ ansible_fqdn }}:9000'
sonar_proxy_server_name: sonarqube.org.com
sonar_install_recommended_plugins: false
sonar_install_optional_plugins: false

sonar_default_excluded_plugins: 
  - '{{ sonar_plugins_path }}/sonar-csharp-plugin-9.10.0.77988.jar'

# or i've also tried this and it does not seem to exclude it either.
# sonar_excluded_plugins: 
#  - '{{ sonar_plugins_path }}/sonar-csharp-plugin-9.10.0.77988.jar'



change_password: true
sonar_migrate_db: false  # set to true if updating SonarQube to new version

So with the above, I get the error described, the plugin is not excluded. I have to set :

sonar_default_plugins: []

for the play to work (or just list the valid plugins but I didn't bother since I don't really need them)

[dzmitry-rudnouski]

Fixed in 2.16.0.
Usage example:

sonar_default_excluded_plugins: 
  - sonar-csharp-plugin-<version>.jar
