When running the sonar prepare analysis task from classic-sonar-scanner-msbuild version 4.17, it is hitting the sonar server & performing all required operations like Fetching analysis configuration settings, Provisioning analyser assemblies for cs, Installing required Roslyn analyser.  
And we we trigger the same from 4.18 & 4.19 versions, its not at all hitting the sonar server. It just creates the conf,out directory and does nothing.

Note: The same behavior is happening from Azure & command prompt execution. Using the same user account for all the versions mentioned here.

Hi @Devi,

> When running the sonar prepare analysis task from classic-sonar-scanner-msbuild version 4.17

Do you mean the begin step?

> It just creates the conf,out directory and does nothing.

Are there any errors displayed?

Thank you,  
Costin

Hi Costin Zaharia,

Thanks for reply. It just creates the empty folder & no error message available.

Still this issue is available. Not able to run sonar from Azure & also from command prompt  
Thanks,

Hi @Devi,

what are the commands you are running to do the analysis?

It looks to me that only the begin step is executed. Can you please follow the steps from [SonarScanner for .NET | SonarQube Docs](https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/analysis/scan/sonarscanner-for-msbuild/) and run the project build and end step too?

Thanks,  
Costin
