 SonarQube analysis could not be completed because the analysis configuration file could not be found: {project-path}\.sonarqube\conf\SonarQubeAnalysisConfig.xml
  • Steps to reproduce:
    Set up a new project in SonarCloud with Github org, then I added a new project and followed the steps to integrate it with Github actions.
    The job:
name: Build
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - develop
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, synchronize, reopened]
jobs:
  build:
    name: Build
    runs-on: windows-latest
    steps:
      - name: Set up JDK 11
        uses: actions/setup-java@v1
        with:
          java-version: 1.11
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0  # Shallow clones should be disabled for a better relevancy of analysis
      - name: Cache SonarCloud packages
        uses: actions/cache@v1
        with:
          path: ~\sonar\cache
          key: ${{ runner.os }}-sonar
          restore-keys: ${{ runner.os }}-sonar
      - name: Cache SonarCloud scanner
        id: cache-sonar-scanner
        uses: actions/cache@v1

          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: Build and analyze
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}  # Needed to get PR information, if any
          SONAR_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}
        shell: powershell
        run: |
          .\.sonar\scanner\dotnet-sonarscanner begin /k:"{the_project_path}/" /o:"{output}" /d:sonar.login="${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}" /d:sonar.host.url="https://sonarcloud.io"
          dotnet build {the path to the SLN file in the project}
          .\.sonar\scanner\dotnet-sonarscanner end /d:sonar.login="${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}"

Hey there.

Make sure that your project key matches the expected format.

Up to 400 characters. All letters, digits, dash, underscore, period or colon.

Notably, forward slashes (/) are not allowed.

Dear Colin,

Thank you for your answer. Kindly note that we follow the instructions provided by SonarCloud when integrating the scanner with Github actions, it generates the default project path for us.

Yet, this default configuration does not seem to work. I cannot get to support despite of this account being a paid one.

How can I get it resolved?

Thanks in advance,

Hey there.

The trailing slash (after {the_project_path}) should not be there in the UI tutorial. If it is, it would be great to see a screenshot!

For example, when I walk through the tutorial to configure my own project, this is the key it suggests.

        run: |
          .\.sonar\scanner\dotnet-sonarscanner begin /k:"colin-mueller-sonarsource_docs_1"
