I starting to pull my hair because I can’t get the coverage to work. I have read documents on sonarcloud, visual studio, forums both here and stack, asked chatgpt etc etc. I can generate a testfile as you will see in my workflow. Here is the workflow ```auto name: SonarCloud on: push: branches: - main pull_request: types: [opened, synchronize, reopened] jobs: build: name: Build and analyze runs-on: windows-latest steps: - name: Set up JDK 17 uses: actions/setup-java@v3 with: java-version: 17 distribution: 'zulu' - uses: actions/checkout@v3 with: fetch-depth: 0 - name: Cache SonarCloud packages uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: ~\sonar\cache key: ${{ runner.os }}-sonar restore-keys: ${{ runner.os }}-sonar - name: Cache SonarCloud scanner id: cache-sonar-scanner uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: .\.sonar\scanner key: ${{ runner.os }}-sonar-scanner restore-keys: ${{ runner.os }}-sonar-scanner - name: Install SonarCloud scanner if: steps.cache-sonar-scanner.outputs.cache-hit != 'true' shell: powershell run: | New-Item -Path .\.sonar\scanner -ItemType Directory dotnet tool update dotnet-sonarscanner --tool-path .\.sonar\scanner - name: Install dotnet-coverage tool run: dotnet tool install --global dotnet-coverage - name: Build and analyze env: GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} SONAR_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }} shell: powershell run: | .\.sonar\scanner\dotnet-sonarscanner begin /k:"lind-exe_Statify" /o:"lind-exe" /d:sonar.token="${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}" /d:sonar.host.url="https://sonarcloud.io" /d:sonar.cs.dotcover.reportsPaths="coverage.xml" dotnet build --no-incremental dotnet test # Run your tests # Collect coverage using dotnet-coverage in Cobertura and output to coverage.xml dotnet-coverage collect "dotnet test" -f cobertura -o "coverage.xml" # Display content of coverage.xml for debugging Get-Content -Path "coverage.xml" .\.sonar\scanner\dotnet-sonarscanner end /d:sonar.token="${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}" ``` When I build and do the debugg part to se the file I find it ```auto Starting test execution, please wait... A total of 1 test files matched the specified pattern. Passed! - Failed: 0, Passed: 12, Skipped: 0, Total: 12, Duration: 57 ms - Statify.Tests.dll (net7.0) Code coverage results: coverage.xml. ``` Then when I want Sonarcloud to upload it it cannot read the test report, It seems it want a JaCoCo?

Troubleshooting guide: [[Coverage] Troubleshooting guide for .NET code coverage import](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/37151) I have only worked with workflows for 3 weeks beside building a project. I’m studying a .NET course and have only studied for 1 year and 3 months. So this is kinda confusing. How do I get the code cevarge to display on Sonarcloud. ---

Hi, Per [the docs](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube/latest/analyzing-source-code/test-coverage/dotnet-test-coverage/#visual-studio-code-coverage) it looks like you need to tweak your coverage command slightly to > `dotnet test --collect "Code Coverage"` The resulting coverage will be read automatically, with no need (for analysis purposes, anyway) to do this: > [@Dantrew](#): > > ```auto > dotnet-coverage collect "dotnet test" -f cobertura -o "coverage.xml" > > ```   HTH, Ann ---

Here is the full workflow now. I find the file but it doesn’t get pushed to my Sonarcloud. Everything else is shown. ```auto name: SonarCloud on: push: branches: - main pull_request: types: [opened, synchronize, reopened] jobs: build: name: Build and analyze runs-on: windows-latest steps: - name: Set up JDK 17 uses: actions/setup-java@v3 with: java-version: 17 distribution: 'zulu' - uses: actions/checkout@v3 with: fetch-depth: 0 - name: Cache SonarCloud packages uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: ~\sonar\cache key: ${{ runner.os }}-sonar restore-keys: ${{ runner.os }}-sonar - name: Cache SonarCloud scanner id: cache-sonar-scanner uses: actions/cache@v3 with: path: .\.sonar\scanner key: ${{ runner.os }}-sonar-scanner restore-keys: ${{ runner.os }}-sonar-scanner - name: Install SonarCloud scanner if: steps.cache-sonar-scanner.outputs.cache-hit != 'true' shell: powershell run: | New-Item -Path .\.sonar\scanner -ItemType Directory dotnet tool update dotnet-sonarscanner --tool-path .\.sonar\scanner - name: Install dotnet-coverage tool run: dotnet tool install --global dotnet-coverage - name: Build and analyze env: GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} SONAR_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }} shell: powershell run: | $coverageFilePath = $env:COVERAGE_FILE_PATH .\.sonar\scanner\dotnet-sonarscanner begin /k:"lind-exe_Statify" /o:"lind-exe" /d:sonar.token="${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}" /d:sonar.host.url="https://sonarcloud.io" /d:sonar.cs.dotcover.reportsPaths="**/*.coverage" dotnet build --no-incremental dotnet test --collect "Code Coverage" # Attempt to find the coverage.cobertura.xml file $coverageFile = Get-ChildItem -Path $env:SYSTEM_DEFAULTWORKINGDIRECTORY -Recurse -Filter "coverage.cobertura.xml" | Select-Object -ExpandProperty FullName if ($coverageFile) { # Display content of coverage.cobertura.xml for debugging Get-Content -Path $coverageFile .\.sonar\scanner\dotnet-sonarscanner end /d:sonar.token="${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}" } else { Write-Host "coverage.cobertura.xml not found." exit 1 } ``` ---

I was trying to find the file and specify where sonarcloud should look for it. Now I have just this in the last step ```auto - name: Build and analyze env: GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} SONAR_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }} shell: powershell run: | $coverageFilePath = $env:COVERAGE_FILE_PATH .\.sonar\scanner\dotnet-sonarscanner begin /k:"lind-exe_Statify" /o:"lind-exe" /d:sonar.token="${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}" /d:sonar.host.url="https://sonarcloud.io" dotnet test --collect "Code Coverage" .\.sonar\scanner\dotnet-sonarscanner end /d:sonar.token="${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}" ``` And it gives me the analys on all thing (ANALYSIS SUCCESSFUL, you can find the results at: [SonarCloud](https://sonarcloud.io/dashboard?id=lind-exe_Statify&branch=main)) but not the coverage part. Here is what I can find in my workflow. The dotnet coverage tool is Cobertura right? But why does it look for a JaCoco file? Therefore I tried to give the it a specific path. ```auto INFO: Sensor JaCoCo XML Report Importer [jacoco] [147](https://github.com/lind-exe/Statify/actions/runs/7126020883/job/19403078370#step:8:148)INFO: 'sonar.coverage.jacoco.xmlReportPaths' is not defined.

Hi, All the sensors run in every analysis. Each one basically pokes its head up to see if there’s any work for it to do, and if not, then just turns back off. That’s why you see log lines about JaCoCo. You can safely ignore them. > [@Dantrew](#): > > The dotnet coverage tool is Cobertura right? The options are detailed [here in the docs](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarcloud/enriching/test-coverage/dotnet-test-coverage/), with a concise listing across languages [here](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarcloud/enriching/test-coverage/test-coverage-parameters/#c). Cobertura is only supported for Flex and Python. > [@Dantrew](#): > > but not the coverage part Can you provide a fresh, debug analysis log? [This guide](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/how-to-find-logs-about-importing-code-coverage/73317) will help you find them.   Ann ---
