Issue with donetsonarscanner on Windows Gitlab runner

Hi team,

I’m facing a weird issue on dotnetsonarscanner -

  • Use SonarCloud version for tracking projects.
  • ALM used (Gitlab)
  • CI system used (Gitlab CI with Windows Gitlab Runner on AWS EC2)
  • Java version on runner - 17.0.8 LTS 211
  • Dotnetsonarscanner - 5.13.0 / 6.2.0
  • Scanner command is invoked with below powershell script snippet -
if ([string]::IsNullOrEmpty("$env:CI_MERGE_REQUEST_IID"))
{
    & echo "Running Branch analysis"
    & dotnet sonarscanner begin /k:"$SonarProjectKey" /o:"$SonarOrganization" /d:sonar.token="$SonarToken" `
          /d:sonar.host.url="$env:SONAR_HOST_URL" `
          /d:sonar.qualitygate.wait=true `
          /d:sonar.branch.name="$env:CI_COMMIT_BRANCH"
}
else
{
    & echo "Running SQ Merge Request analysis"
    & dotnet sonarscanner begin /k:"$SonarProjectKey" /o:"$SonarOrganization" /d:sonar.token="$SonarToken" `
          /d:sonar.host.url="$env:SONAR_HOST_URL" `
          /d:sonar.qualitygate.wait=true `
          /d:sonar.pullrequest.key="$env:CI_MERGE_REQUEST_IID" `
          /d:sonar.pullrequest.branch="$env:CI_MERGE_REQUEST_SOURCE_BRANCH_NAME" `
          /d:sonar.pullrequest.base="$env:CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH_NAME"
}

& "$env:MSBUILD_PATH" "$env:CI_PROJECT_DIR\src\Presentation\myproject.Presentation.UI\myproject.Presentation.UI.csproj"`
    /p:Configuration=Release # build the project
& dotnet sonarscanner end /d:sonar.token="$SonarToken"

  • Getting reproduced everytime sonar scanner job runs.
  • Potential workaround - NONE
  • It was all working well until after May 29, 2024. No change was made anywhere in the Sonar setup or CI pipeline or Gitlab runner. It started failing suddenly.
  • Build job and deploy jobs work seamlessly. Only sonar job is failing. So, we can rule out Gitlab runner problem.
  • Followed commands from [Link] (SonarScanner for .NET)
  • What has been done - triple-checked token permissions, reissued tokens, reran pipelines multiple times with new tokens, reran after clearing runner cache, reverified, org key, project key and sonar tokens by printing then in log files temporarily (especially token).

Can someone please help? Really at a loss on where to look for the fix.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Abhijit

Hey there.

Can you check your organization-level Administration > Organization Settings > GitLab connectivity management and supply a new token if needed?

Hi there!

Yes! That was the reason indeed.

I have supplied a new PAT from Gitlab. It’s working like a charm now.

Thanks for your help!! Much appreciated.

Thanks,
Abhijit
