Hello guys,

I’m trying to run some analysis on my local machine. So I installed the sonarscanner tool from `dotnet tool install`. I also set up the sonarqube server where I created a project and generated a token.

This is my project structure:

```bash
$ ls
Application.UnitTests/ azure-pipelines-pullrequest.yml README.md src/
azure-pipelines-deps.yml Flowmono.ProcessService.sln ReventEmailTemplate/
azure-pipelines-main.yml helm/ ReventInject/

```

The src directory contains:

```bash
$ ls src/
API/ Application/ Domain/ Infrastructure/

```

The API is the entrypoint to the project.

The test directory is inside the root directory. The `Application.UnitTests`.

Trying to run the sonarscanner using this command:

```bash
> dotnet sonarscanner begin /k:"flowmono-process" /d:sonar.host.url="http://localhost:9009" /d:sonar.token="squ_3bb4f7891a87a1891cef0ce93ba7bef95c70727e"

```

Which I get this

Then I run `dotnet build` which was successful. Then I run the end command:

```bash
> dotnet sonarscanner end /d:sonar.token="squ_3bb4f7891a87a1891cef0ce93ba7bef95c70727e"

```

Which gave me this error:

```

I’ve tried specifying the sonar.sources and sonar.test but they are getting ignored due to the version that I’m on.

How do I resolve this

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

First, I hope you’ve already revoked that token. 😅

Regarding the problem, can you check to see if you have any inclusions / exclusions set in the UI?
