Sonar scanner code coverage using xunit InlineData xml file input and output

SonarQube Server / Community Build
, ,

Hello
I develop library in c# 4.7.2

I develop libray of unit tests using xunit 2.9.0

In my pipeline I have a step to run sonar

All working fine, but when I look at the codecoverage, the value is 0%

I don’t understand why

The environment is

  • SonarQube server 9.9.1.69595
  • SonarScanner 4.8.0.2856
  • SonarScanner for MSBuild 5.11
  • jdk-19.0.1
  • Windows Server 2019
  • Project c# 4.7.2
  • xunit 2.9.0
  • Pipeline jenkins with jenkinsfile
  • dotnet-coverage collect

The goal of the library is transformed an xml received in input and generated a new xml file in output

Then the unit test used InlineData with xml input and xml output, and compare the xml generated with the xml declared as InlineData

The tests are running successfully, but the code coverage is not computed

I don’t know what is missing

The jenkins file contains a step

withSonarQubeEnv(‘Myenv-SonarQube’) {
bat label: ‘Starting Sonar analysis’, script: ‘dotnet ’ + sqScannerMsBuildHome + ’ begin /k:’ + MY_PROJECT_NAME + ’ /n:’ + MY_PROJECT_NAME + ’ ’ + ‘/d:sonar.cs.vscoveragexml.reportsPaths=coverage.xml /d:sonar.qualitygate.wait=true ’ + ’ /v:’ + env.GitVersion_NuGetVersion + ‘_(#’ + env.BUILD_NUMBER + ‘)’ + ’ /d:sonar.dotnet.excludeTestProjects=true ’
bat label: ‘Building application with dotnet’, script: ‘“C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\msbuild.exe” /t:restore,build MyPlugInTest\MyPlugInTest.csproj /p:Configuration=Debug /p:OutputPath=Publish\MySuffix’ + env.GitVersion_NuGetVersion + ’ /p:TargetFrameworkVersion=v4.7.2’
bat label: ‘Testing and coverage’, script: ‘dotnet-coverage collect "dotnet test “’ + projectDll + ‘” --filter DisplayName=MyPlugInTest.MyClassTest.Should_Succeed " -f xml -o “coverage.xml”’
bat label: ‘Ending Sonar analysis’, script: 'dotnet ’ + sqScannerMsBuildHome + ’ end ’
}

Thanks for your help and suggestion
