Link to StackOverflow issue: c# - SonarQube Not Updating Report - "Line 5 is out of range for file Program.cs. File has 4 lines" - Stack Overflow

1. I’ve created a .NET Core app with just 1 file - Program.cs
   

The only code in Program.cs is:

for (var i = 1; i <= 100; i++)
{
    try
    {
        Console.WriteLine(i);
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
        throw new Exception("This is a sample exception");
    }
}

2. I’ve also setup SonarQube locally and ran my first scan using the command
   dotnet sonarscanner end /d:sonar.login=""
3. It was success and I’ve got a report with CodeSmells (I’m conciously putting those to test SonarCube)
   
   
4. But once I corrected the code and re ran the command, I’m getting weird errors from sonar scanner

What are your scan settings, and do you have code coverage enabled for this? I seem to remember similar issues in the past when there was an outdated code coverage report involved.

Do you clear out all old build artifacts when building your project?

Hi Chris, Thanks for your query.
I’ve figured out the issue. This is happenning because I’m running the command

“dotnet sonarscanner end /d:sonar.login=”""

multiple times.
Now I’m running these 3 commands serially to test it again. These are not very well documented and thus became new adopters to SonarQube like me will become extremally confused. These are the 3 commands now I’m running and I’m happy with the reports.

dotnet sonarscanner begin /k:"" /d:sonar.login=""
dotnet build
dotnet sonarscanner end /d:sonar.login=""
