.NET Scanner MSBuild 4.8: The 'organization' parameter is missing

zsojma · March 5, 2020, 11:28am

Hello, we are using .NET SonarScanner for MSBuild version 4.8 and suddenly, we getting an error at the start of analysis:

If you click on the link in the error message, you get this error:
{"errors":[{"msg":"The 'organization' parameter is missing"}]}

This is how the SonarQube.Analysis.xml file looks like:

<?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://sonarcloud.io</Property>
  <Property Name="sonar.organization">alza</Property>
  <Property Name="sonar.login">xxx</Property>
  <Property Name="sonar.sources">src/*,src-packages/*</Property>
  <Property Name="sonar.exclusions">src/**/wwwroot/*,src/**/Assets/Migrations/*</Property>
  
</SonarQubeAnalysisProperties>

As you can see, the organization is set properly in the XML file…

As a matter of fact, I don’t think we changed anything at all and suddely, this error occurs… Can you help please? Thank you

PS: The dotnet tool is installed as following:
dotnet tool install --global dotnet-sonarscanner --version 4.8.0

Hi,

Thanks for reporting. It seems related to a change we deployed today.
We’re currently looking into it and will keep you posted.

Hi @zsojma and welcome to the community !

The error you get was indeed introduced by some changes made around organization management that were deployed this morning.

That being said, the sonar.organization, in the context of the Scanner for MSBuild, has a different way of working : as per the documentation this parameter should be passed in the commandLine directly, with /o:{your organization} (-o:{your organization} also works).

Please note however that this concerns only the retrieval of the quality profile (which, for some reasons, might have never work on your particular case), and not the analysis itself, which continue to work.

So, as a fix, please profile the organization with the needed flag, we’re are still looking on our side why the setting in the XML file was never parsed.

Thanks and sorry for the incovenience.

Hi,

I can confirm this works.

Thanks,

Hi, thanks for help. This also works for me.

Thanks,

@mickaelcaro

We are currently experiencing the same issue, but we cannot use a commandline approach, as this error is being raised by the prepare sonar task.

I raised the following ticket: Unable to run sonarscan because of error 400 by retrieving qualityprofile since a few days

mickaelcaro · March 9, 2020, 2:24pm

Hi @Edwin,

Please use the dedicated SonarCloud extension if you want to benefit from organization support, and target SonarCloud.

Hello @mickaelcaro, as I understood from the past, The SonarCloud extension is not compatible with the onpremise Devops. Or did this change?

mickaelcaro · March 9, 2020, 2:25pm

This kind of scenario is not supported indeed.

SonarCloud is meant to be used with Azure DevOps Services (cloud version)
SonarQube with Azure DevOps Server / TFS (On-Prem)

Mickaël

Edwin · March 9, 2020, 2:27pm

Ok, so our only option is now to return to an onpremise setup instead of using the cloud?

varunverma · October 21, 2020, 12:15pm

This reply is marked as solution but I really dint get what is solution. I am getting the same error while running Preepare Analysis task from azure pipeline. Even tried giving the option parameter sonar.organization= but it is not pickng it.

mickaelcaro · October 21, 2020, 1:38pm

Hi @varunverma

Which extension are you using ? SonarQube or SonarCloud ?

varunverma · October 22, 2020, 6:31am

Hi Mickael,
I am using Sonarcloud. It worked for me when I use the maven project instead of the MSBuild option in Prepare analysis Phase.

mickaelcaro · October 22, 2020, 6:33am

The organization param for SonarCloud will be set once you’ve selected your organization in the dropdown.

jvanderzouwen · April 23, 2021, 3:45pm

This is an issue for us as well - we use Jenkins to pass in url and auth and use the sonarscanner msbuild command line from jenkinsfiles. We want to be able to fail back to on-prem if cloud is unavailable. However, that currently requires change to jenkinsfile or script. I just want to change the sonar config in jenkins and include organization for cloud there rather than include a copy of that in every jenkinsfile.
