Hi Volker

Thanks for sharing this. We do now support the suggested alternative dotnet-coverage, and if you are using the dotnet CLI it’s a nice tool. You can see how to set it up in our documentation here.

Thanks @Tom_Howlett

we are using the Azure DevOps Extension, I assumed that would be recognized by the task SonarQubeAnalyze@5 in the report.

According to your documentation there is run CodeCoverage.exe automatically - and this result in the reported warning…

By the way: why do I need (according to your documentation) need to install a dotnet global tool? TUsually, we use dotnet local tools which can be restored on any workstation to get compareable setup.

Yes, we need to take a look at the Scanner for .NET which will run CodeCoverage.exe automatically if it can.

You can install dotnet tool locally too. I’ll update the documentation on this point.

Thanks

Tom

Hello @milbrandt,

I have opened this issue on the scanner for dotnet repository. We plan to change our logic and look for alternative tools first if they are available.

Best,

Thanks, I added the proposal that the scanner will install dotnet-coverage as local tool on its own. Then the scanner would not rely on some external tool which might not be installed on a build agent.
