Unable to build dotnet framework 4.6.1 project

Imobisoft · February 11, 2022, 3:37pm

Hello All,

I am trying to analyze my dotnet framework 4.6.1 project using sonar cloud using github actions but unable to do so it gives the below error while making the build

Any help will be appreciable

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

It seems that the error actually comes not from analysis, but from the build portion of the script.

Your log shows the analysis setup is successful:

It’s your call to MSBuild.exe that’s failing. Perhaps you need to provide the full path? Put it in $PATH?

Thank you for the response Ann, Can you please help me with where should I provide this path and how can I get it. And also what will be the format of the path

Hi “Imobisoft”,

Normally I’d ask you to create a new thread for a new topic, but… did you actually read the log?

Ann

Imobisoft · February 17, 2022, 4:05am

Hi, @ganncamp,

I am sorry but actually, I am still facing the issue with MSBuild. Earlier I was unable to find the MsBuild on the virtual machine now I am able to find it but unable to build that’s why I replied to the same thread. going forwards I will create new threads for new issues.

I read the log but couldn’t understand it I searched for this error

MSBUILD: error MSB1001: Unknown switch.
but couldn’t find any proper solutions to solve it.

Hi,

Sorry, but getting MSBuild up & running is out of scope for this community.

Once you’ve got that part worked out, please come back to us if you still have problems with analysis.
