Hi,

since the January 2021 we are getting the below mention error on our AzureDevOps while Build process, not sure why this sonar config error is popping up,
can your help or provide direction for fixing this issue.

Hi @khwaja625 and welcome to the community.

Seems that this is related to missing libs in your linux OS, not the scanner.

You can check this kind of GH issue which may help : No usable version of libssl was found · Issue #4749 · dotnet/core · GitHub

Can you try installing this one ?

(it’s for Ubuntu, check for other source if this is not your distribution)

I’m having the same issue. Azure Pipeline using ubuntu-latest; however, the SonarCloud components require an old version of .NET Core (2.2.103) as per guidance here: SonarCloud Support for .NET Core 3.0.100-preview5 - #8 by Jared_Stroebele. I’m building a Linux Docker Container so cannot use windows-latest. I’ve tried installing prerequisites and the latest libssl-dev but nothing works. This is holding up a production pipeline.
