Take a look at this thread – it may not be the file names on the filesystem that is the issue

> [@Build-wrapper-dump.json does not match analyzer 6.20.4.45706 version](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/build-wrapper-dump-json-does-not-match-analyzer-6-20-4-45706-version/62245/7):

> Nope, the actual file names are fine wink The resolving of the includes in c++ causes this issue. Something like this #include "detailtextdlg.h " Will be resolved to a path with trailing whitespaces, which causes the error in WindowsPathParser. The Issue is solved by executing regex search and replace of all include statements that contained a trailing space, for example, #include "detailtextdlg.h " to #include "detailtextdlg.h" i.e: our builds are green again wink
