Did you check every of the 8 points listed as a possible cause of the problem, and make sure that your pipeline and the configuration are correct?

Hi All!

I have the same error:
2019-08-22T17:56:31.2279560Z ##[error]The SonarQube MSBuild integration failed: SonarQube was unable to collect the required information about your projects.
2019-08-22T17:56:31.2279560Z ##[error]Possible causes:
2019-08-22T17:56:31.2279560Z ##[error]1. The project has not been built - the project must be built in between the begin and end steps
2019-08-22T17:56:31.2279560Z ##[error]2. An unsupported version of MSBuild has been used to build the project. Currently MSBuild 12.0 upwards are supported
2019-08-22T17:56:31.2279560Z ##[error]3. The begin, build or end steps have not all been launched from the same folder

This error became when I build with VisualStudio2017 (msbuild15).

Solution:
I set the msbuild visual studio version lower to 2015 (msbuild14).
Worked fine.

Sorry, my english is not the best.

best regards
Balázs

I am also getting this type of error often.
We are using TFS-2018 build pipeline and Sonar TFS Task(s). Run Code Analysis, Version: 4.9.0, Author: sonarsource.

Sometime it fails and sometimes it pass without any issues!
