@mickaelcaro, could you take a look on this?

Hi @dkcdbh and welcome to the community !

Shipped Scanner for .NET, when executed on windows, doesn’t support yet more than 255 characters.

If you can’t reduce this number, my suggestion would be to run the .NET Core version of the Scanner, it should be ok.

Let me know.

Thanks.

Hi Mikael and Thank U.

Sorry my noviceness, but how do I change the scanner mode?

Best regards
Christian

If you are currently using the Azure DevOps extension for SonarCloud, then you will need to disable the related tasks (Prepare analysis configuration, Run Code Analysis) and to replace them, use commandline to execute the Scanner for .NET “by hand”. You’ll find some documentation here : https://sonarcloud.io/documentation/analysis/scan/sonarscanner-for-msbuild/

TLDR, you need to replace the Prepare analysis configuration with

dotnet SonarScanner.MSBuild.dll {arguments}

And the Run Code Analysis by

dotnet SonarScanner.MSBuild.dll end {arguments}

HTH,

Hi @dkcdbh

What is the value of your sonar.host.url parameter ?

Thanks.

#9

Property Name=“sonar.host.url”>https://sonarcloud.io/projects

#10

You can put simply Property Name=“sonar.host.url”>https://sonarcloud.io/

It will be ok.
