thanks @nicolas63, it seems to be related to an open bug we have in the backlog [https://github.com/SonarSource/sonar-dotnet/issues/2484](https://github.com/SonarSource/sonar-dotnet/issues/2484) ---

Is this fix for the msbuild version as well? I encounter this error with the msbuild version. ---

We’d need more details from you to investigate. - please give us the verbose output of the `END` step (please run `SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe begin /k:"MyProject" /d:sonar.verbose=true` as the `BEGIN` step, and please attach the output of `END` step) - please give us the protobuf (`.pb`) files which you find in the `.sonarqube\out\\output-cs\` directories - the easiest is to do a ZIP archive of the `.sonarqube\out` folder . Please note that the `.sonarqube` folder gets generated during analyses and you can find it in the folder you run the commands from. ---

Hi, I have already share verbose log in my previous message. My error is only on my ci (GithubActions) so how to get .pb ? ---

> [@nicolas63](#): > > Hi, I have already share verbose log in my previous message. Yes , you’re right. > [@nicolas63](#): > > so how to get .pb ? On the build machine, in the folder where the SonarCloud scan is done, there’s a `.sonarqube` folder inside which has various metadata for the scanner, including those protobuf files. However, being an open-source project, we should be able to reproduce your problem ourselves. We’ll get back after we get some time to investigate. ---

Thanks @nicolas63 for following up. Before investigating on our side, could you take a look at this forum topic: [102 is not a valid line offset for pointer](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/102-is-not-a-valid-line-offset-for-pointer/24342). Do you have pre and post build events that modify the source code? If you run ```auto msbuild foo.sln /p:PreBuildEvent= /p:PostBuildEvent= ``` will it help ? ---

Hi, I have look the other topic and yes i have a ci step who add code, not in post build event but the principle is the same. After correct this the sonar analysis work !! Thanks for your help ! ---
