I have a c-sharp solution (say sample.sln), but to run sonarqube analysis, as per the docs, i have run the following command: ``` ".\3rdparty\sonarqube\msbuild\SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe" begin /k:"comm" /n:"comm" /v:"2.0" /d:sonar.cs.dotcover.reportsPaths= "D:\Jenkins\workspace\comm\TEST\CoverageReport.html" /d:sonar.host.url="http://101.149.24.128" /d:sonar.sources="D:\Jenkins\workspace\comm\source\*.cs" msbuild comm.sln /t:Rebuild ".\3rdparty\sonarqube\msbuild\SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe" end ``` but getting this error : ``` SONAR_SCANNER_OPTS is not configured. Setting it to the default value of -Xmx1024m Calling the SonarQube Scanner... INFO: Scanner configuration file: D:\Jenkins\workspace\comm\3rdparty\sonarqube\msbuild\sonar-scanner-3.2.0.1227\bin\..\conf\sonar-scanner.properties INFO: Project root configuration file: D:\Jenkins\workspace\comm\.sonarqube\out\sonar-project.properties INFO: SonarQube Scanner 3.2.0.1227 INFO: Java 1.8.0_151 Oracle Corporation (64-bit) INFO: Windows Server 2016 10.0 amd64 INFO: SONAR_SCANNER_OPTS=-Xmx1024m INFO: User cache: C:\Users\jenkins\.sonar\cache INFO: SonarQube server 6.7.5 INFO: Default locale: "en_US", source code encoding: "windows-1252" (analysis is platform dependent) INFO: Publish mode INFO: Load global settings INFO: Load global settings (done) | time=278ms INFO: Server id: 7950B4AD-AWYRoMpRpurWib7aM-qP INFO: User cache: C:\Users\jenkins\.sonar\cache INFO: Load plugins index INFO: Load plugins index (done) | time=84ms INFO: Process project properties INFO: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ INFO: EXECUTION FAILURE INFO: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ INFO: Total time: 13.565s INFO: Final Memory: 6M/84M INFO: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ERROR: Error during SonarQube Scanner execution ERROR: Unable to load component class org.sonar.scanner.scan.ProjectLock ERROR: Caused by: Unable to load component class org.sonar.scanner.scan.DefaultInputModuleHierarchy ERROR: Caused by: Unable to load component class org.sonar.scanner.scan.ProjectBuildersExecutor ERROR: Caused by: Unable to load component class com.talanlabs.sonar.plugins.gitlab.CommitProjectBuilder ERROR: Caused by: Unable to load component class com.talanlabs.sonar.plugins.gitlab.GitLabPluginConfiguration ERROR: Caused by: Unable to load component class org.sonar.scanner.scan.MutableProjectSettings ERROR: Caused by: Unable to load component class org.sonar.api.batch.bootstrap.ProjectReactor **ERROR: Caused by: Illegal char <*> at index 43: D:\Jenkins\workspace\comm\source\*.cs** ERROR: The SonarQube Scanner did not complete successfully ``` so i thought of adding, all the sonar related properties into sonar-project.properties, and kept inside the project root folder, and ran the analysis. but got an error below. ``` sonar-project.properties files are not understood by the SonarScanner for MSBuild. Remove those files from the following folders: D:\Jenkins\workspace\comm. ``` what i could infer is, we cannot set sonar-project.properties for msbuild ? is it ? **So then how to do include/exclude files/folders from code coverage in sonar analysis ? I don’t have admin access, to set administrative global exclusions** Any help ? P.S using sonarqube LTS 6.7.6 ---

Hi @r.kumar , Sorry for a late reply. This is for the posterity of any future Community members. > [@r.kumar](#): > > what i could infer is, we cannot set sonar-project.properties for msbuild ? is it ? `sonar-project.properties` file does not work with projects scanned with Sonar Scanner for MSBuild. If you want to set those parameters, then either do it within the Azure DevOps pipeline.yaml or within your .csproj file, both of which can be version controlled. Here’s an example with adding those sonar analysis parameters to a .csproj file: > [@Scan repository containing .netcore & swift projects](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/scan-repository-containing-netcore-swift-projects/36040/2): > > For customizing your C# project with sonar-project analysis properties, you can add **SonarQubeSetting** nodes for each analysis property in the \*.csproj file for your C# module: > > ```auto > > > NotAnalyzedFile.cs,Libraries/**/*.* > > > > ``` However, most users with Azure DevOps pipelines version control these Sonar analysis parameters within their pipeline yaml in the PrepareSonarAnalysis task.
