Authentication Failed with SonarScanner for .NET

SonarQube Server / Community Build
, , ,

I have this setup. I first tried SonarLint, but then opted to go with a more direct approach first:

SonarScanner for MSBuild 9.0.1
SonarQube on Windows via Docker

I’m trying to follow this guide to using SonarScanner for .NET: https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube/latest/analyzing-source-code/scanners/dotnet/using/

I’ve got as far as running this command, as per the guide: dotnet sonarscanner begin /k:"version4" /d:sonar.host.url="http://localhost:9000" /d:sonar.token="xxxxx"

I get this output:

Using the .NET Core version of the Scanner for MSBuild
Pre-processing started.
Preparing working directories...
07:33:35.763  Updating build integration targets...
07:33:35.938  WARNING: Authentication with the server has failed.

I’m using the token I created on my local SonarQube container, so I don’t get why auth fails, but what server is the above output referring to?

Then my real question is, why would auth fail here?

Hi there, @bradyk, welcome to the community!

Could you please run the analysis with /d:sonar.verbose=true and post here the full log?

Thanks, Dennis, but I did everything over and the scanner is working now.

OK, glad to know it works!

If I may ask, do you know what was wrong the first time? (Just so we know if we are missing some information in the docs for example)
