Cannot See .NET Code Coverage in SonarQube from OpenCover Report

[Md_Emdadul_Haque]

Hi community,

I’m integrating SonarQube with a .NET 8 project and trying to import code coverage using an OpenCover XML report generated via coverlet.

I run the following command to generate the report:

dotnet test /p:CollectCoverage=true /p:CoverletOutput=coverage/ /p:CoverletOutputFormat=opencover

This successfully creates coverage.opencover.xml in the coverage/ folder.

Then I run the SonarScanner like this:

dotnet sonarscanner begin /k:“MyProjectKey” ^
/d:sonar.host.url=“http://localhost:9000” ^
/d:sonar.login=“MY_TOKEN” ^
/d:sonar.cs.opencover.reportsPaths=“coverage/coverage.opencover.xml”

dotnet build

dotnet sonarscanner end /d:sonar.login=“MY_TOKEN”

The analysis completes successfully, but when I open the SonarQube dashboard, I don’t see any coverage data — it shows 0% coverage.

Things I’ve checked:

• The coverage.opencover.xml file exists and is not empty.
• The report path is relative to the solution root.
• I’m using the latest SonarScanner for .NET and SonarQube 10.x (please confirm if specific version matters).

Am I missing something? Is there a better way to feed coverlet coverage
data to SonarQube?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

Your build script mostly looks good, except that the build needs to run before the coverage report is generated. There’s an example in the docs.
