Hello
Suddenly, one of our builds is failing with the following error:

[ERROR] Not inside a Git work tree: D:\TeamCity\BuildAgent02\work\79fc6d4ae4d109c1

When the command is executed from a local checkout branch, there is no issue. However, as soon as it is executed from a build in TeamCity, it fails with the error.

At the moment, I have added the parameter Dsonar.scm.disabled=true to solve the issue until I locate the root cause.

How will this affect the scanning results?

Thanks for that tip! Anyway, we have never had this .git folder there, so someth…
