.NET GitLab Setup

Are there any examples of how to setup the scanner in gitlab CI/CD? I found the following ressource but it does not share the whole picture: GitLab Integration | SonarQube Docs

Without building the image in between the scanner has nothing to analyze. So how is the best practice for it?

I guess it could look something like this:

  • init scanner
  • build dotnet
  • publish dotnet
  • analyse (build cache)

Does anyone has a working example? In my case I’m building a docker image in my pipeline defined via Dockerfile. That makes it a little bit more complicated but that I can figure out if I have an example of a simple setup.

Hi Jens,

We have a in-app tutorial on setting .NET.
The yml example look like:

  image: mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/sdk:latest
  variables:
    SONAR_USER_HOME: "${CI_PROJECT_DIR}/.sonar"  # Defines the location of the analysis task cache
    GIT_DEPTH: "0"  # Tells git to fetch all the branches of the project, required by the analysis task
  cache:
    key: "${CI_JOB_NAME}"
    paths:
      - .sonar/cache
  script: 
      - "apt-get update"
      - "apt-get install --yes openjdk-11-jre"
      - "dotnet tool install --global dotnet-sonarscanner"
      - "export PATH=\"$PATH:$HOME/.dotnet/tools\""
      - "dotnet sonarscanner begin /k:\"gl\" /d:sonar.login=\"$SONAR_TOKEN\" /d:\"sonar.host.url=$SONAR_HOST_URL\" "
      - "dotnet build"
      - "dotnet sonarscanner end /d:sonar.login=\"$SONAR_TOKEN\""
  allow_failure: true
  only:
    - master # or the name of your main branch

You would need to setup the SONAR_TOKEN and SONAR_HOST_URL variable in gitlab.

Let me know if that help.

I’ve tried the above example but with the image mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:5.0 and the line to install OpenJDK 11 JRE is failing. Why does this fail for sdk:5.0 but not for latest .NET Core which is 3.1.410 and doesn’t fit my particular needs? Are there any suggestions for .NET 5 SDK projects?
