SonarQube post processing fails with unknown reason

pkamath · August 15, 2018, 12:41am

(already posted at stackoverflow - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51848961/sonarqube-post-processing-fails-with-unknown-reason)

SonarQube is failing without any meaningful error message for a .NET C# project.

I tried running the end command with the -X option but the -X format is unrecognized.

SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe end -X /d:sonar.login=“87195”

Any ideas on what could be wrong ? I ran a simpler project with 2 - 3 cs files and that succeeds.

Hi @pkamath,

You are right the -X option doesn’t work with the scanner for msbuild and on newer versions we no longer show this message.

Could you let us know the versions of:

SonarQube
SonarC#
Scanner for MSBuild

Also could you share the full log of the end step in debug (passing /d:sonar.verbose=true in the begin step).

Cheers,
Amaury

Hi Amaury,

SonarQube - v7.3
SonarC# - v7.3.2.6129
Scanner for MSBuild - v sonar-scanner-msbuild-4.3.1.1372-net46

I am not sure which log file you need, can you tell me exactly where the relevant information would be ? I tried redirecting the output to a text file and attaching that but it is around 8 MB.

However, this is the “tail” of that log

Hi @pkamath,

I am looking for all the lines produced by the scanner for msbuild. Ideally the begin and end steps.

pkamath · August 21, 2018, 9:53pm

Here is the output of the end step … out.txt (1.5 MB)

The begin step output does not look too interesting (at least to my untrained eye anyways)

I have mentioned before that for small projects this is working great i.e. I can see the results in the localhost webpage.

What would be the command to direct sonarqube to look at one folder only i.e. limit the analysis to one project ?

Thank you !

Hi @pkamath,

There seems to be an issue with SonarCSS but for some reason the error doesn’t show up in the log (I am investigating why).

In the meantime, I recommend that you disable the CSS analysis on your project (by changing the extension for css files /d:sonar.css.file.suffixes=.foo)
