If I comment out the tests step (VSBuild@1), code analysis runs with no problem and publishes the report to Quality Gate successfully, with a code coverage of 0%.

You didn’t include the Prepare step when sharing your pipeline configuration – how have you configured it?

3

Yes. Without prepare step, publishing results would always fail.

- task: SonarCloudPrepare@1
  displayName: 'Preparing SonarCloud analysis configuration'
  inputs:
    SonarCloud: 'organization uuid here'
    organization: 'organization name here'
    projectKey: 'project key here'
    projectName: 'project name here'

The values are set as per project properties.

Hi guys,

Any ideas?

6

@ibiglari could you share the verbose logs for the end step please?

To get this in Azure DevOps you should add the sonar.verbose to the Prepare step e.g.:

- task: SonarCloudPrepare@1
    inputs:

      extraProperties: |
        sonar.verbose=true
