Scanner for msbuild/.net is calling a not existing api/editions/is_valid_license

[eroero (roy)]

Hello,

I am trying to use scanner for msbuild/.net latest version available on Jenkins:
SonarScanner for MSBuild 5.13.0.66756
on zip install of a community edition version : Community Edition Version 9.9 (build 65466)

when running the scanner I got this:
*SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe begin /k:“devops:test_sonar_dotnet” /d:sonar.verbose=true *

• SonarScanner for MSBuild 5.13*
• Using the .NET Framework version of the Scanner for MSBuild*
• Downloading from https://xxxxx/api/server/version…*
• Response received from https://xxxxx/api/server/version…*
• Checking validity of server license*
• Downloading from https://xxxxx/api/editions/is_valid_license…*
• Response received from https://xxxxx/api/editions/is_valid_license…*
• Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: <. Path ‘’, line 0, position 0.*

all this because the entry api/editions/is_valid_license is a 404 page on my server

could you tell me that is wrong ?
why this api does exist on my server

thanks in advance.

Hey there.

Take a look at this post:

Sonar CE and donet-sonarscanner

Is it possible that Nginx is directing all 404s to a cusotm error page in your setup? The scanner is (I admit, flimisly) relying on the existence of {"errors":[{"msg":"Unknown url : /api/editions/is_valid_license"}]}
