Hi @cho7rose and welcome to the community !

You triggered an uncatched error for us, thank you, that’s useful !

In the mean time, you may try with /d:sonar.host.url=https://sonarcloud.io , that may work better.

Thank you.

Hi @mickaelcaro

I am facing the same issue, when I am trying to analyse the dotnet project with MsBuild Plugin. I am doing this analysis via Jenkins, so I am using a token from admin user, technically has access to do everything in sonarqube.

However, I was able to do the analysis with sonarscanner CLI, but I am seeing issues only when I am trying this with Sonar Scanner MsBuild Plugin.

I also tried with d.sonar.host.url but the problem appears to remain the same. Can you please help.

we are using CE sonarqube version 8.3

Hi @yeshwanth

How do you pass your token in the dotnet command ?

Hi @mickaelcaro

I am using Jenkins credentials block

// Sample ///

withSonarQubeEnv(credentialsId: ‘abc’, installationName: ‘sonarqube’) {
dotnet tool install --global dotnet-sonarscanner
dotnet sonarscanner begin /d:sonar.host.url=http://sqube.abc.com /k:“Sample-dotnet-MsBuild”
dotnet build
dotnet sonarscanner end

}

Thanks
Yeshwanth

Hi @yeshwanth

You also need to pass the /d:sonar.login=yourtoken in the dotnet sonarscanner begin command (and also for the end command)

HTH,
Mickaël
