I am a new SonarQube user who has successfully conducted code analysis using my current SonarQube configuration on simple “hello world” type .NET projects.
I get errors however during the “sonar-scanner-msbuild-4.6.0.1930-net46\SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe begin” step when I attempt to analyze projects with many “…\packages” references in the analyzed project’s .csproj file. Errors are related to missing “…\packages” content .
I assume that I may be missing a NuGet component or other plugin but am not sure. I am using Visual Studio 2019 Professional for MSBuild and my sonar-scanner version is shown above.
Any help would be much appreciated. As stated above, I’m new to SonarQube and my .NET development experience is dated as well.
Thank you for your reply. Please note that for the specific error detailed below I changed the “…\packages\OctoPack.3.5.2\build\OctoPack.targets” reference path in my .csproj file to get past that specific error. However other “…\packages” files were missing and created new errors. I hope that makes sense.
Here are the error results from starting step to point of error:

It looks like “just” the build step is failing (to confirm, try running the build without any of the SonarQube Scanner for MSBuild steps, I expect you’d still see it fail)
Thanks again for your reply. I ran dotnet restore command in an updated test folder and received the following “Nothing to do” message. This doesn’t make sense as the .csproj file is included in the files.
C:\Users\CMD\Downloads\Test16>dotnet restore
Nothing to do. None of the projects specified contain packages to restore.
