"CodeCoverage.exe is deprecated" warning in SonarCloudAnalyze@1 task

[vedion]

Hi,

We are using Azure pipeline task “SonarCloudAnalyze@1” on a Microsoft hosted agent but we still see this warning:
“CodeCoverage.exe is deprecated. Use dotnet-coverage global tool or Microsoft.CodeCoverage.Console instead. Some features of CodeCoverage.exe will be removed in next release of Visual Studio.”

The task prints these versions:
INFO: SonarScanner 4.8.1.3023
INFO: Java 17.0.9 Eclipse Adoptium (64-bit)
INFO: Windows Server 2022 10.0 amd64

Do we have do do something so we don’t see this warning?

Also see:

CodeCoverage.exe is deprecated

Must-share information (formatted with Markdown): which versions are you using SonarQube 10.1, SonarScanner for MSBuild 5.13, Task SonarQubeAnalyze@5 how is SonarQube deployed: zip what are you trying to achieve Using MSTest, the test have been executed dotnet.exe test XXX.Test.csproj --logger trx --results-directory E:\_1\_temp -c release --filter TestCategory!=IntegrationTest --collect "Code coverage" In Tast SonarQubeAnalyze the coverage files are converted automatically, a warning is is…

Hi Anders,

@vedion

“CodeCoverage.exe is deprecated. Use dotnet-coverage global tool or Microsoft.CodeCoverage.Console instead. Some features of CodeCoverage.exe will be removed in next release of Visual Studio.”

I don’t think that warning is coming from us.

Hi,

How can this warning not come from you? We are using your task in a yml file and this warning comes from the output of that task.

Hi Anders,

Screenshots of logs are really difficult to deal with. In general, we much prefer copy/pasted text.

From what I can tell, your pipeline is executing CodeCoverage.exe. That’s not coming from us. You might want to take a look at your YAML file…

[vedion]

I’m still not sure I understand. We are using your task in our pipeline and it is your task that outputs:

Executing file C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\Team Tools\Dynamic Code Coverage Tools\CodeCoverage.exe

So it must be your sonar task there executes CodeCoverage.exe?

The following log from the task “- task: SonarCloudAnalyze@1” and ONLY from this task:

Hi,

Thanks for sharing your pipeline. There’s quite a bit in there that we don’t have anything to do with:

@vedion

    - task: AzureCLI@2
      displayName: 'Run tests'
      inputs:
        azureSubscription: DEV_03_Resource_Manager
        scriptType: ps
        scriptLocation: scriptPath
        scriptPath: '$(scriptsPath)/runTests.ps1'
        arguments: '-testResultsDirectory $(Agent.TempDirectory) -dotnetTestParameters "--no-build --no-restore --filter Category!=IgnoreOnBuildAgent --configuration $(buildConfiguration) --collect `"Code coverage`" --settings $(Build.SourcesDirectory)\Source\.runsettings"'

    - task: PublishTestResults@2
      displayName: 'Publish Test Results'
      inputs:
        testRunner: VSTest
        # Exclude test results for SpecFlow tests as they will be published when running "publishSpecTestResult.ps1" below.
        testResultsFiles: |
          *.trx
          !*Specs*.trx
        searchFolder: $(Agent.TempDirectory)
        configuration: $(buildConfiguration)

What’s in ‘$(scriptsPath)/runTests.ps1’? Could that be where your call to CodeCoverage.exe is coming from?

[vedion]

The log I have pasted on this issue only comes from your task: “SonarCloudAnalyze@1”

So the following log statements definitely comes from the sonar task.

• “Executing file C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\Team Tools\Dynamic Code Coverage Tools\CodeCoverage.exe”
• “CodeCoverage.exe is deprecated. Use dotnet-coverage global tool or Microsoft.CodeCoverage.Console instead. Some features of CodeCoverage.exe will be removed in next release of Visual Studio.”

Hi Anders,

Per the docs

SonarCloud itself does not calculate coverage. To include coverage results in your analysis, you must set up a third-party coverage tool and configure SonarCloud to import the results

We don’t run coverage tools.

Hi,

It seems you’re using an outdated task.

@vedion

SonarCloudAnalyze@1

Please try to use the task SonarCloudAnalyze@5, this is the latest version.

Old versions used the CodeCoverage tool as can be seen on older docs:

Once trx files have been found, their .coverage counterpart are searched as well and the scanner tries to convert them to .coveragexml files that will be uploaded to SonarQube. CodeCoverage.exe tool is used for that, and the scanner also needs to find a path to that tool, following this search path(…)

This is not needed anymore.

[SierraNL (Leon Grave)]

Could it be that the SonarQubeAnalyze@5 hasn’t been updated for this, since I still see this message in our build logs. (on version 5.18.3)

[vedion]

I can’t find any documention on task “SonarCloudAnalyze@5” and it does not work on the pipeline.

[vedion]

What about this issue:

CodeCoverage.exe is deprecated, look for alternatives

Look like the same issue as me.

[felipebz (Felipe Zorzo)]

Actually, you are right, I’m sorry. The SonarCloudAnalyze@1 task is the correct one for SonarCloudAnalyze. The “v5” task is only for SonarQubeAnalyze.

It seems that the updates to make the process independent of CodeCoverage.exe haven’t been released yet and it looks like they’ll be included in the next release of SonarScanner for MSBuild.

[vedion]

Do you know when the next release of SonarScanner for MSBuild is?

[Martin_Strecker]

Version 6.0 of the scanner was released today:

• Release 6.0.0 · SonarSource/sonar-scanner-msbuild · GitHub
• NuGet Gallery | dotnet-sonarscanner 6.0.0

The Azure DevOps extensions will be released within the next few days.

Update: The Azure DevOps extensions will be released at the end of January.

[DarioFlores (Darío Flores)]

Good morning everyone.

It seems that the new version of the DevOps 2022 extension is out, but the same error continues to occur

Hi @DarioFlores

@Martin_Strecker

Version 6.0 of the scanner was released today:

@DarioFlores

Version : 5.19.0

You don’t seem to be using the new version.

 
HTH,
Ann

[DarioFlores (Darío Flores)]

Hello Ann.

Thank you for your prompt response, in DevOps 2022 the sonar extension is in version 5.19, which may still need to be updated.

I only have this update:

Extension details: Detect bugs, vulnerabilities and code smells across project branches and pull requests.
Publisher: SonarSource
Installed version: 5.19.0 (Latest)
Last updated: 24 ene 2024 at 19:36 GMT-3

Cordial greetings
