Branches are not analyzed anymore when using new "sonarscanner" dotnet tool

SonarQube Cloud
1

In Azure DevOps, I did use the provided commands:

dotnet sonarscanner begin \
  /o:"wiremock-net" \
  /k:"WireMock-Net_WireMock.Net" \
  /d:sonar.host.url="https://sonarcloud.io" \
  /d:sonar.token="***"

dotnet sonarscanner end /d:sonar.token="***"

However when the analysis is done; this new branch does not show up in sonarcloud.io and it seems that the delta is defined/found in the master branch?

The “stef-1118-yaml” branch is when I still used the SonarCloud Azure DevOps task instead on the the dotnet tool.

Hey there.

The Azure DevOps Extension provides the sonar.branch.name analysis parameter that you won’t get if you just run the raw scanner (you’d have to manually set /d:sonar.branch.name=$(Build.SourceBranchName) or something like that.

Why did you make the switch, if I can ask?

Thanks!

I didn’t try this specific setting. I was mostly looking at Pull Request analysis, however I could not get it to work.

However, according to the documentation (Branch analysis) it should work automatically?

Scanners can automatically detect branch parameters when running on the following CI services:

    Azure Pipelines
    . . .

The docs assume you’re using the Extension for Azure DevOps and associated tasks.

I tried to make the switch yesterday, but I did revert it on the master.

Now with your suggestion, I’ve implemented this:

- script: |
      dotnet sonarscanner begin /k:"WireMock-Net_WireMock.Net" /o:"wiremock-net" /d:sonar.branch.name=$(Build.SourceBranchName) /d:sonar.host.url="https://sonarcloud.io" /d:sonar.token="$(SONAR_TOKEN)" /d:sonar.dotnet.excludeTestProjects=true /d:sonar.cs.opencover.reportsPaths=**/coverage.net8.0.opencover.xml /d:sonar.verbose=true 
    displayName: 'Begin analysis on SonarCloud'

And this seems to work fine now:
