I am trying to trigger a CodeSmell if there is a <HintPath> in the .csproj file.
This could mean the developer linked a DLL directly in stead of using a Nuget reference.
When the Nuget is updated the path to the dll will change and the reference will break.
I tried to make an XPath XML rule but it seems like it is not triggered:
expression
//*[local-name()='HintPath']
filePattern
/**/*.csproj
message
Projects should not refer directly to dll's but use Nuget references.
Are *.csproj files excluded automatically?
I hope someone can help me out here, thanx in advance.
Can you post an example of .csproj file where the issue should be detected? Can you also post the debug logs of the analysis when you analyze .csproj file?
Hi,
I have a similar problem. I am analyzing a .NET Core 3 console application, written in C#, using SonarScanner for Msbuild.
I would like to use a custom XPATH XML rule to check, if the node “nullable” is present and raise an error if it has not the value “enabled” in the .csproj file (/Project/PropertyGroup/Nullable[not(text()=‘enable’)]).
The problem seems to be, that the .csproj-file is ignored in the analysis, even if it is configured as XML filetype (sonar.xml.file.suffixes).
This could be, because of the msbuild integration. csproj is a special file for msbuild.
I run the following commands:
dotnet sonarscanner begin /k:"Testprojekt" /k:"sonar.verbose=true"
dotnet build .\ConsoleApp1.sln
dotnet sonarscanner end
This is a stripped-down version of the build log:
