Failed to parse JSON in SONARQUBE_SCANNER_PARAMS environment variable

[Saloni_Patel]

Must-share information (formatted with Markdown):

• I am using sonarqube 10.3 version
• sonarqube is deployed using zip
• I am using azure devops pipeline to analyze project which is in C# as well as typescript.
• I am using 2 scanners in the azure devops pipeline, here is my code :

variables:
SONARQUBE_SCANNER_PARAMS_CSHARP: '{"sonar.language": "cs"}'
 SONARQUBE_SCANNER_PARAMS_TYPESCRIPT: '{"sonar.language": "ts"}'

- task: SonarQubePrepare@5
      inputs:
        SonarQube: 'sonarqube'
        scannerMode: 'MSBuild'
        projectKey: 'xxxxxxx'
        projectName: 'Atlas'
       
    
    - task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
      displayName: Build
      inputs:
        projects: '$(ApiProjectName).csproj'
        arguments: '--configuration $(buildConfiguration)'

    - script: 'echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=SONARQUBE_SCANNER_PARAMS]$(SONARQUBE_SCANNER_PARAMS_CSHARP)"'
      displayName: 'Set SONARQUBE_SCANNER_PARAMS for C#'    
    
    - task: SonarQubeAnalyze@5
      inputs:
        jdkversion: 'JAVA_HOME_17_X64'

    
    - task: SonarQubePublish@5
      inputs:
        pollingTimeoutSec: '300'
    - task: SonarQubePrepare@5
      inputs:
        SonarQube: 'sonarqube'
        scannerMode: 'CLI'
        configMode: 'manual'
        cliProjectKey: 'xxxxxxxxxxx'
             

    - script: 'echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=SONARQUBE_SCANNER_PARAMS]$(SONARQUBE_SCANNER_PARAMS_TYPESCRIPT)"'
     displayName: 'Set SONARQUBE_SCANNER_PARAMS for TypeScript'
    - task: SonarQubeAnalyze@5
      inputs:
        jdkversion: 'JAVA_HOME_17_X64'

, but getting error like below :

Please suggest something so that project can get analyzed in both c# and typescript language.

Hi,

The initial line is missing from that error & it would be helpful (I think) to have it. In fact, can we just have that full log?

As a side note,

@Saloni_Patel

SONARQUBE_SCANNER_PARAMS_CSHARP: '{"sonar.language": "cs"}'
 SONARQUBE_SCANNER_PARAMS_TYPESCRIPT: '{"sonar.language": "ts"}'

sonar.language hasn’t had any effect for years and years now. All analyses are multi-language by default.

Okay sure, so here is the complete log of azure devops pipeline step:

so, ultimately our goal is to analyze both c# and typescript code which is in same branch and it running through the same pipeline.

[ganncamp (G Ann Campbell)]

Hi,

Can we have the full log? As I stated previously, the initial line is missing from the error, and it would also be useful to know where in analysis the error occurred, as well as the analysis context. Thus, we need the full log.

 
Thx,
Ann

Hi,

Thanks for the log.

Could you echo the SONARQUBE_SCANNER_PARAMS envvar so we can see what’s in it?

Could you also provide a debug log?

Share the Scanner for .NET verbose logs

• Add /d:"sonar.verbose=true" to the…
  • SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe or dotnet sonarscanner begin command to get more detailed logs
    • For example: SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe begin /k:"MyProject" /d:"sonar.verbose=true"
  • “SonarQubePrepare” or “SonarCloudPrepare” task’s extraProperties argument if you are using Azure DevOps
    • For example:

      - task: SonarCloudPrepare@1
          inputs:
            SonarCloud: 'sonarcloud'
            organization: 'foo'
            scannerMode: 'MSBuild'
            projectKey: 'foo_sonar-scanning-someconsoleapp'
            projectName: 'sonar-scanning-someconsoleapp'
            extraProperties: |
              sonar.verbose=true
      

• The important logs are in the END step (i.e. SonarQubeAnalyze / SonarCloudAnalyze / “Run Code Analysis”)

Share the msbuild detailed logs

MsBuild.exe /t:Rebuild /v:d

or

dotnet build -v:d

 
Thx,
Ann
