Hi,

The updated ADO extension should be released in early February.

I also have the same issue with this task, which is still broken. It’s been over a month since you said it should be released. It is unacceptable to make a promise and then NOT come back later on and say the feature/bugfix is postponed/delayed. And the reason for it.

What is the current status?

Hi,

We still see the 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.`

It looks like the Azure DevOps task (SonarCloudPrepare@1 and SonarCloudAnalyze@1) for SonarCloud does still not pick up version 6 of SonarScanner.  
The scan option that is used is: ‘MSBuild’

When running today, I see:

```auto
Starting: SonarCloud Analyze
==============================================================================
Task : Run Code Analysis
Description : Run scanner and upload the results to the SonarCloud server.
Version : 1.44.0
Author : sonarsource
Help : Version: 1.44.0. This task is not needed for Maven and Gradle projects since the scanner should be run as part of the build.

[More Information](https://docs.sonarcloud.io/advanced-setup/ci-based-analysis/sonarcloud-extension-for-azure-devops/)
==============================================================================
D:\a\_tasks\SonarCloudPrepare_14d9cde6-c1da-4d55-aa01-2965cd301255\1.41.0\classic-sonar-scanner-msbuild\SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe end
**SonarScanner for MSBuild 5.15**

```

Shouldn’t we see SonarScanner 6 here? can you confirm which verison of the tasks are expected to be active in Azure DevOps?

The SonarCloud tasks are defined as:

```auto
- task: SonarCloudPrepare@1
  displayName: "SonarCloud Prepare"
  inputs:
    SonarCloud: '${{ parameters.sonarCloudServiceConnectionName }}'
    organization: '${{ parameters.sonarCloudOrganization }}'
    scannerMode: 'MSBuild'
    projectKey: '${{ parameters.sonarCloudProjectKey }}'
    projectName: '${{ parameters.sonarCloudProjectName }}'
    projectVersion: "$(Build.BuildNumber)"

- task: SonarCloudAnalyze@1
  displayName: "SonarCloud Analyze"
  inputs:
    jdkversion: 'JAVA_HOME_17_X64'

```

Thank you

Hi,

The new version hasn’t been released yet. Unfortunately, I don’t have a timeline for you.

Even I am facing the same issue which is “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”.  
Do we have to use any other dotnet test coverage tool like coverlet to fix the error?  
Please help out.

Hi @Tejaswini_Chitnis,

Welcome to the community!

Have you tried what the message suggests?

I have tried but some of the third party coverage tools like coverlet are not supported in our unit test project as we use dotnet v4.8. Is there any other solution to this problem?

Hi, @Tejaswini_Chitnis,

Have you tried looking at AltCover? It supports .NET framework and we use it as part of our pipelines.

@Tejaswini_Chitnis  
The message is generic and tied to the version of the task you use.  
Are you using SonarQube or SonarCloud?  
Which version of the extension? Which version of the task?

Hello,

the new version of the Azure Devops extension is currently in the works. If everything goes according to the plan, it will be released within the next three weeks.

@Lucas_Paulger Has there been an official announcement for that? I can’t find one. And the samples linked from the Azure DevOps Marketplace site all still use V1 versions of the SonarCloud tasks.

I got confused with that new release too. Anyway, I updated my steps to V6 and that solved the problem!

The “CodeCoverage.exe is deprecated” issue is resolved after using Task version6. But still the coverage is not getting updated to the Sonar ☹

Please find below the snippet from log

Hi @Tejaswini_Chitnis,

This message about JaCoCo coverage should be unrelated. You’re analyzing a .NET project, right?

I think it’s time to create a new thread, with all your details, please.
