versions used : “sonarqube-developer-7.2.1”
error observed: “The SonarQube MSBuild integration failed: SonarQube was unable to collect the required information about your projects.”
More Description:
I am using SonarScanner for MSBuild for .NET Framework (C# project).

For your information, please find below the System and software information of the machine where the SonarQube installed.

os.arch x86
os.name Windows 10
os.version 10.0
Version 7.2.1.14109
Version: sonarqube-developer-7.2.1
SonarScanner for MSBuild 4.6.1
Microsoft ® Build Engine version 14.0.23107.0
.Net version v4.5
Visual Studio 2013

steps to reproduce:

I have installed SonarQube and all supporting software like Scanner for MSBuild and Microsoft Build Tolls as per the instruction and guide line mentioned in your portal.
I can start the SonarQube service using command prompt
I can Log in to http://localhost:9000 with System Administrator credentials (admin/admin)
I can create project
When I, Analyzing with SonarQube Scanner for MSBuild using the following commands:
a) SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe begin /k:“MyProj02ForCodeAnalysis” [Successful]
b) MSBuild.exe D:\Projects\MyProj02ForCodeAnalysis\Project2.sln /t:Rebuild [Successful]
c) SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe end [Failed]
In the above last command, the following error coming
The SonarQube MSBuild integration failed: SonarQube was unable to collect the required information about your projects.
Possible causes:

1. The project has not been built - the project must be built in between the begin and end steps*
1. An unsupported version of MSBuild has been used to build the project. Currently MSBuild 14.0 and 15.0 are supported*
1. The begin, build and end steps have not all been launched from the same folder*
1. None of the analyzed projects have a valid ProjectGuid and you have not used a solution (.sln)*
  Generation of the sonar-properties file failed. Unable to complete SonarQube analysis.
  20:50:09.446 Post-processing failed. Exit code: 1

The analyze tool is running upto 2nd command successfully. In the last command, error is coming. I have followed all the steps and instructions given in your portal. I am not getting any stats or report under http://localhost:9000. I can only see some analytics result from the above 2nd command and it is in command line. But not getting any proper report.

Hi @ajayindigo

Welcome to our community!

Would it be possible to run the scanner in verbose mode (/d:sonar.verbose=true) and post here the logs?

Thanks,
Costin

Hi @ajayindigo

Can you please confirm that the project has been build between the begin and end step and that all the steps have been launched from the same directory?

Also can you please attach the D:\Projects\Emdt_SQ.sonarqube\out\ProjectInfo.log and D:\Projects\Emdt_SQ.sonarqube\conf\SonarQubeAnalysisConfig.xml generated files?

Thank you,
Costin

costin.zaharia · December 13, 2019, 3:27pm

Hi @ajayindigo

Since we support MSBuild starting with 14.0.25420 and that you are currently using 14.0.23107.0, it would be great if you could update the version and try again.

Thanks,
Costin

Hi Costin,
I have update the MSBuild version to 14.0.25420. But still getting the same error. Please note that I am doing source code review for .Net Framework “Website” not project/solution. Do SonarQube works for Website?

mickaelcaro · December 19, 2019, 10:15am

Hi @ajayindigo,

Can you check that in the following folder : C:\Users\ajamohan\AppData\Local\Microsoft\MSBuild you have proper “MSBuild version” subfolders, and inside each one of them, a target called “SonarQube.Integration.ImportBefore.targets” ?

Thank you.

ajayindigo · December 20, 2019, 5:57am

in the folder C:\Users\ajamohan\AppData\Local\Microsoft\MSBuild and inside each “MSBuild version” subfolders, the following folder is present:
Microsoft.Common.targets\ImportBefore

mickaelcaro · December 20, 2019, 7:23am

Ok, thanks, and inside this ImportBefore folder, do you have a file called “SonarQube.Integration.ImportBefore.targets” ?

ajayindigo · December 27, 2019, 9:08am

No. There is no files. All the folders are blank.

mickaelcaro · December 27, 2019, 9:12am

Ok, targets are deleted while issuing the “end” step of the comand, so that’s probably normal. If you issue just the begin step and check the folder after, are those files here ?

I missed this from you : “But still getting the same error. Please note that I am doing source code review for .Net Framework “Website””

Please note that we only support .csproj (and some other type of *proj projects) / .sln based projects.
