Hi @zhantaof and welcome to the community.

So just to be sure, it seems to me that the faulty task is the dotCover.sh, right ? It should show the diverse [JetBrains dotCover] Coverage session finished [03/02/2021 09:39:30] log messages.

What happen if you deactivate both SonarScanner steps and retry several times ? Do you have that hang as well ?

Thanks.

Hi @mickaelcaro, thanks for the response.

Yes, it looks to be an issue with the dotCover.sh. It hangs after “Total time” every single time:

Test Run Successful.
Total tests: 566
     Passed: 565
    Skipped: 1
 Total time: 35.7635 Seconds

So it doesn’t even show “the diverse [JetBrains dotCover] Coverage session finished [03/02/2021 09:39:30] log messages”.

When we disable the SonarScanner step, the pipeline succeeds with no hang whatsoever. We have also noticed our dotnet 3.1 pipeline does not have this hanging issue. The only difference with the dotnet 3.1 pipeline is that it does not use dotCover.sh in between Sonarscanner begin and end. Instead, it has the following:

      dotnet test
      --logger trx
      --results-directory "tests"
      --no-restore
      --filter FullyQualifiedName!~IntegrationTests
      --collect:"XPlat Code Coverage"
      -- DataCollectionRunSettings.DataCollectors.DataCollector.Configuration.Format=opencover
      --verbosity ${DOTNET_LOGLEVEL:-m}

Hi, any update on this?

Hi @zhantaof

Any possibility to have a more verbose log please ? Without it there’s not that much we can do.

Thanks in advance.
