Analyzer working directory does not exist

[pscheir (Peter)]

Hi,
I am facing issue with code analysis of a c# project.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Thank you, Peter

Must-share information (formatted with Markdown):

• which versions are you using (SonarQube, Scanner, Plugin, and any relevant extension)

SonarQube Version 9.3 (build 51899)
SonarScanner for MSBuild 5.7.1
csharp version 8.34.0.42011
MSBuild 15.9.21+g9802d43bc3 for .NET Framework

• what are you trying to achieve

Code analysis for a smaller c# project.

Build works without errors.
Code analysis works for .sql and .xml files, however all .cs file show “-“ Lines of Code in the user interface under “Code”.

The log shows:

• what have you tried so far to achieve this

Tried various versions of MSBuild (14, 15, 16)
Tried various version of SonarScanner for .net (5.4.0, 5.5.3, 5.6.0)

I was able to resolve the problem:

I found that the Analyzers are downloaded from the SonarQube server to C:\Temp.sonarqube

In this directory some DLLs were missing.

I suppose that the build job was terminated while the archive (.zip) which was downloaded from the SonarQube Server was unpacked.

I deleted all contents of C:\Temp.sonarqube and the problem was gone (the next build job re-downloaded the archives und unpacked them completely).

Steps to reproduce my error pattern above:
Go to C:\Temp.sonarqube\resources\0 (are likewise) and delete SonarAnalyzer.CSharp.dll

IMHO the existence of the needed DLL should be checked SonarScanner.

BR, Peter
