SonarQube Cloud

Bit of background:

  • Using SonarCloud enterprise, so should be good for 1M LOC.
  • 24 c# (mostly) solutions. All for older products. No CI/CD pipeline.
  • Code scanning is done with scripts in github actions.
  • SonarCloud Billing and Usage shows 934185 LOC used.
  • The solution I’m having problems with shows 51,780 LOC on the largest long lived branch.
  • In github, I have a failed action merging a PR into the long lived branch, with the following errors:
    • in the github action: curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404
    • in SonarCloud, ti’s telling me “Current LOC usage is: 882405. LOC count in this analysis: 265216.”
  • The PR in github has just a handful of changes in one file.
  • The PR in SonarCloud shows 6 new lines

So, why does SonarCloud think my LOC is increasing by 256K when the PR only has 6 new lines? And how do I troubleshoot this?

Thanks,

Hi @rjalbert

Welcome to the Community!

Your branch shows 51,780 LOC, but the PR analysis is reporting 265,216 LOC for the same project which is about 5× more.

The “6 new lines” figure is the new code scope for quality gate evaluation only, it has no bearing on LOC counting. For billing, SonarQube Cloud always uses the full project size from whichever analysis (branch or PR) has the larger LOC.

You asked why the PR analysis is seeing 5× more code than the branch. This almost always means the scanner’s scope differs between your branch and PR workflows. With 24 C# solutions in one repo, common causes are:

  1. Missing or different sonar.sources. If your branch workflow explicitly points to just the relevant solution directory, but the PR workflow runs from the repo root without that restriction, the scanner will sweep up code from other solutions or the whole repo.

  2. Generated/vendor files not excluded. obj/, bin/, restored NuGet packages, or T4-generated .cs files can add substantial LOC if not covered by sonar.exclusions.

  3. Working directory difference. Check whether both workflows invoke the scanner from the same directory.

On the curl: (22) 404 error

This is probably a separate issue from the LOC message in SonarQube Cloud, it’s the scanner failing to reach a specific endpoint. Share the full scanner log output so we can see the exact URL returning 404; it may be a secondary symptom of the analysis being rejected, or an independent configuration problem.

To diagnose further, please share:

  1. Your GitHub Actions workflow files for both branch and PR analysis (or confirm they’re the same file with conditional steps)
  2. The full scanner output from the failing PR run (redact information as necessary)

You can also do a quick self-check, open SonarQube Cloud’s Project > Code view on the PR analysis, the file tree will immediately show whether unexpected directories (other solutions, bin/, etc.) are inflating the count.

Best regards,

Stevan

To clarify, there are 24 solutions, but each is in its own github repo.

I expect I’m doing the appropriate exclusions. I hadn’t thought of this before, the code analysis doesn’t happen on the source code, but dlls in the solution, right? And most of the solutions use NuGet packages and even reference dlls in the solution.

Here’s workflow file:

Hi @rjalbert,

Thanks for the update. The scanner output reveals the issue.

SonarCloud analyzes source code, not compiled DLLs. However, it counts LOC for every file type it recognizes, e.g. JSON, XML, YAML, SQL, config files, etc.

The root cause of your inflated LOC count is that every module is including its obj\ and bin\Release\ directories in sonar.sources. For example, MySolution.PSRunner includes:

obj\MySolution.PSRunner.csproj.nuget.dgspec.json
obj\project.assets.json
bin\Release\*.dll.config   ← repeated for every module

The project.assets.json file can often be hundreds of lines long, and repeated across all 14 modules, the count multiplies quickly. On top of that, your top-level sonar.sources pulls in Setup64\deploy\ (which can be full of .dll.config files) and even your GitHub Actions .yml workflow file.

My recommendation is to add sonar.exclusions to your dotnet-sonarscanner begin step:

${{ runner.temp }}\scanner\dotnet-sonarscanner begin `
  /k:"MyCompany-Software_${{ env.SOLUTION }}" `
  /o:"mycompany-software" `
  /d:sonar.token="${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}" `
  /d:sonar.exclusions="**/obj/**,**/bin/**,**/Setup64/**"

Let us know if the LOC count drops closer to the branch’s original LOC baseline after rerunning the pipeline and rescanning.

Best regards,

Stevan

Stevan,

I updated the sonar.exclusions. I did it in the SonarCloud UI instead, but the SonarScanner context shows its using my updated values.

  • sonar.exclusions=/*.jav,/.java,**/.c,/*.h,/.cc,**/.cpp,/*.cxx,/.c++,**/.hh,/*.hpp,/.hxx,**/.h++,/*.ipp,/.m,**/.rs,/*.dart,/*.sql,/obj/,/bin/,/Setup64/

It has reduced the LOC from 58,914 to 58,780, but it hasn’t really fixed my problem.

After making the change, I did a super simple PR on the long lived branch, literally just adding a comment.

The analysis triggered by creating the PR worked fine.

The analysis triggered by merging the PR failed, as it did before.

The error its reporting is this:

Error message: This analysis will make your organization ‘xxxxxxx-software’ reach the maximum allowed lines limit of 1000000. Current LOC usage is: 882676. LOC count in this analysis: 217288. Language distribution: cs=211911,vbnet=1687,xml=3609,yaml=81
Please contact the administrator of the organization to resolve this issue.

I don’t get were the LOC count in this analysis is coming from.

The long lived branch that I started from has 58,780 LOC.

The analysis from creating the PR worked fine.

Why does it think the LOC needed for the merge is over 200K?

It looks like are erroring at this step in the github action.

From the PR (which worked)

Hi @rjalbert ,

Thanks for the update.

Can you confirm the values you put for sonar.exclusions? The formatting treated them as markdown. Use a code block so we can see if the syntax needs any tweaking.

Best regards,

Stevan

Stevan,

Here they are. Sorry about the formatting. I totally missed that when I was pasting it in.

**/*.jav,**/*.java,**/*.c,**/*.h,**/*.cc,**/*.cpp,**/*.cxx,**/*.c++,**/*.hh,**/*.hpp,**/*.hxx,**/*.h++,**/*.ipp,**/*.m,**/*.rs,**/*.dart,**/*.sql,**/obj/**,**/bin/**,**/Setup64/**

In the UI, I entered each pattern on as its own entry though.

Kind of a side question. Can throw that whole comma delimited list in as one entry in the UI? If so, it makes my life a little easier rolling these changes out to my other projects.

Thanks

Ray
