Problems generating reproducer files

Hello @michael.jabbour

In argument sonar.cfamily.reproducer of SonarCloudPrepare@4 forwar slashes are required.

It is not entirely clear to me how are you passing this property using the SonarCloudPrepare action. Are you using extraProperties?

yes, I use the azure-pipelines.yml and there the extraProperties in the prepare task to be as near as possible to our regular work flow for reproduction.

You are not allowed to use ' to format the path.

Unless I am missing something, I don’t think that ' is normally needed. Once you are in the .properties file, spaces within the value don’t need to be escaped. The formal docs for this format can be found here. The summary is that we normally only need to escape backslashes in this case.

ok, I was asked from your colleague to generate a reproducer. As usual I specified everything in the YAML pipeline, and there it is safer to encapsulate file paths which might contain whitespaces with ’ or ".

Uploading of the generated reproducer *.tar.xz was blocked.
Workaround: rename it to *.tarxz

Thanks for highlighting this, I am checking if I can get .tar.xz as one of the approved extensions on this platform.

This was already addressed by @ganncamp, see her note in cpp:S3470 for overloading std::hash - #12 by ganncamp

I can’t seem to find the generated reproducer in this thread though.

The reproducer was uploaded in cpp:S3470 for overloading std::hash - #11 by milbrandt and Together with @JolyLoic we learned more on caveats of the C++ standard.
