Hi,

It looks like you’ve shared a screenshot of logs – and nobody in this Community likes to pretend they’re an [optical character reader](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_character_recognition).

Typically log screenshots are nearly impossible to read. From what I can tell from your second screenshot, the error you’re getting is coming from trying to generate the coverage report, not from analysis. Thus, it’s out of scope for this community.

Hello Team,

I have run tests and have “results.xml” saved under : $GITHUB\_WORSPACE/tst/results.xml

I am not able to execute dotnet coverage using the below command :

```auto
dotnet sonarscanner begin /k:"<sonar-project-key>"
    /d:sonar.login="<sonar-token>"
    /d:sonar.cs.vscoveragexml.reportsPaths=$GITHUB_WORSPACE/tst/results.xml
dotnet build --no-incremental
dotnet-coverage collect 'dotnet test' -f xml -o 'coverage.xml'
dotnet sonarscanner end /d:sonar.login="<sonar-token>"

```

Could you please help us how we can generate " .NET test coverage" results in sonarqube.

I tried the below documentation however I was not able to succeed.

> **[.NET test coverage](https://docs.sonarqube.org/9.7/analyzing-source-code/test-coverage/dotnet-test-coverage/)**
>
> SonarQube supports the reporting of test coverage information as part of the analysis of your .NET project.

==\> We have “SonarQube.Analysis.xml” defined under : $github\_workspace/SonarQube.Analysis.xml

==\> Our “SonarQube.Analysis.xml” is defined as below :

```auto
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<SonarQubeAnalysisProperties xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.sonarsource.com/msbuild/integration/2015/1">

  <Property Name="sonar.host.url">https://sonarqube. *****-*****.de/</Property>
  <Property Name="sonar.exclusions">./BuildScripts/ **,./DatabaseMigrations/** </Property>
  <Property Name="sonar.cs.vstest.reportsPaths">tst/results.xml</Property>
  <Property Name="sonar.cs.vscoveragexml.reportsPaths">results.xml</Property> 
</SonarQubeAnalysisProperties>

```

Hi Anil,

Can you provide the full, _text_ log of the step that’s not working?
