i have configured a TFS-Build-Defintion for a C#-Project.
The Task “Run Code Analysis” fails, because the property “sonar.branch.name” automatcly is set

Do you confirm the build is triggered on a branch that is not the default branch of your repository? By default the extension will consider that the default branch of your repository (usually named “master” for a Git repo) is the one you want to analyze as the main branch on SonarQube.
But if you try to analyze another branch, then you need the commercial branch plugin.
If you don’t want to use our commercial feature, simply configure 2 build definitions:
one with the SonarQube tasks, that will be used for the default branch
one without SonarQube tasks, that you can use for other branches and pull requests
The Problem is, my project use the TFVC version control. So my default-branch is $/ProjectName/Dev !
Only this branch is used for Analyzing with Sonarqube. Is there a posibility, to unset the “sonar.branch.name”-property?
Indeed, this is a dead-end situation. There is no way for us to find what is the main branch for TFVC (I think this concept doesn’t even exist, tell me if I’m wrong). So we have no way to decide when to pass sonar.branch.name or not.
After discussion, we think the safest solution is to revert to the previous behavior for TFVC: don’t try to pass sonar.branch.name, never. TFVC users having a SonarQube developer edition will have to manually set the extra property sonar.branch.name=$(Build.SourceBranch)
