Analysing manually added project with specified quality gate - sonarqube

Question

I am interested in analysising my Jenkins builds via SonarQube. Initially, I have used the following code
stage('SonarCloud') {
steps {
withSonarQubeEnv('SonarQube') {
sh 'mvn clean package sonar:sonar '
}
}
}
However, I have asked here about how can I specify the quality gate that server uses for my analysis. From the answer provided, I have modified my code to look like this
stage('SonarCloud') {
steps {
withSonarQubeEnv('SonarQube') {
script{
def projectName = "Some-Exp"
// Creating a fresh project and placing it on the server - Works fine
sh "curl -u ${env.SONAR_AUTH_TOKEN} '${env.SONAR_HOST_URL}/api/projects/create' -d 'name=${projectName}&project=${projectName}&branch=${env.BRANCH_NAME}'"
// Specifying Quality Gate that to be used when performing our analysis - Does not quite work
sh "curl -u ${env.SONAR_AUTH_TOKEN} '${env.SONAR_HOST_URL}/api/qualitygates/select' -d 'gateId=2&projectKey=${projectName}'"
// Analysing our project - Creates the entirely new project, much like the initial code did
sh "mvn sonar:sonar -Dsonar.host.url=${env.SONAR_HOST_URL}"
}
}
}
}
The code creates and places a project on SonarQube server, but the said project still has a default quality gate, and it contains no analysis (in fact, current code creates an identical output to the one created by sh 'mvn clean package sonar:sonar ' line that I have used initially). There are no errors or anything. The problem is that the code does not do what I would like it to do.
This post mentioned that I need to add my project to profile group, before analysing it (which makes a lot sense). Tried to add sh "curl -u ${env.SONAR_AUTH_TOKEN} '${env.SONAR_HOST_URL}/api/qualityprofiles/add_project'" with some parameters but it didn't help that much.
I wonder what am I missing. I think the final line needs to be parametrised but I could not find anything that would make it work.

I have created a sample Maven project and run sonar analysis from Jenkins. Also, I have used the Web API to assign the QualityGate.
You can use the below Jenkinsfile as an example, to do sonar analysis.
Jenkinsfile
pipeline {
agent any
tools {
maven 'MAVEN_HOME1'
}
stages {
stage('Git') {
steps {
git credentialsId: 'gitlab-test', url: 'https://example.com/gitlab/repo1/simple-java-maven-app.git'
}
}
stage('Maven Install') {
steps {
sh "mvn install"
}
}
stage('Create Sonar Proejct') {
steps {
sh 'curl -X POST -u "admin:admin" "https://example.com/sonarqube/api/projects/create?name=stackoverflow&project=stackoverflow"'
}
}
stage('Set Quality Gate') {
steps {
sh 'curl -u "admin:admin" -X POST "https://example.com/sonarqube/api/qualitygates/select?projectKey=stackoverflow&gateId=10100"'
}
}
stage('Sonarqube Analysis') {
steps {
sh """mvn -U install sonar:sonar -Dsonar.host.url=https://example.com/sonarqube/ -Dsonar.login=7yha3f47967iuednd8cd -Dsonar.projectKey=stackoverflow -Dsonar.projectName=stackoverflow -Dsonar.sources=. -Dsonar.java.binaries=**/* -Dsonar.language=java -Dsonar.exclusions=src/test/java/com/mycompany/app/AppTest.java"""
}
}
}
}
Please find below the SonarQube Analysis Result and other screenshots, for your reference.

List of Available QualityGate:
Note: In the above image, "id":10040,"name":"SonarQube way" is the default QualityGate. I have used "id":10100,"name":"SASSonarQube way" for setting Quality Gate to analyze the project stackoverflow using Web API. All are marked in yellow

In above image, you can see the Quality Gate SASSonarQube way has been used to do sonar analysis. Marked in yellow
