I am trying to set up GitHub Actions to use SonarQube Community edition for a .NET Core app that needs to be built on Linux rather than Windows; however, the documentation assumes you are building on Windows.
- SonarQube Community Build v24.12.0.100206
My GitHub Actions workflow looks something like this:
build:
name: Build and test
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
needs: [ version ]
steps:
- name: Checkout source
uses: actions/checkout@v4
with:
fetch-depth: 0
- name: Set up .NET Core
uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v4
with:
dotnet-version: 8.0.x
- name: Set up JDK 17
uses: actions/setup-java@v4
with:
java-version: 17
distribution: 'zulu'
- name: Cache SonarQube scanner
id: cache-sonar-scanner
uses: actions/cache@v4
with:
path: .\.sonar\scanner
key: ${{ runner.os }}-sonar-scanner
restore-keys: ${{ runner.os }}-sonar-scanner
- name: Install SonarQube scanner
if: steps.cache-sonar-scanner.outputs.cache-hit != 'true'
shell: pwsh
run: |
New-Item -Path .\.sonar\scanner -ItemType Directory
dotnet tool update dotnet-sonarscanner --tool-path .\.sonar\scanner
- name: Install DotNet-Coverage tool
run: dotnet tool install --global dotnet-coverage
- name: Set NuGet credentials
run: dotnet nuget update source github --username USERNAME --password ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} --store-password-in-clear-text
- name: Build and analyze
shell: powershell
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} # Needed to get PR information, if any
SONAR_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}
run: |
.\.sonar\scanner\dotnet-sonarscanner begin /k:"${{ env.SONAR_PROJECT_ID }}" /d:sonar.token="${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}" /d:sonar.host.url="${{ vars.SONAR_HOST_URL }}" /d:sonar.cs.vscoveragexml.reportsPaths="${{ env.TEST_OUTPUT }}/${{ env.TEST_FILE }}"
dotnet-coverage collect "dotnet test ${{ env.BUILD_SOLUTION }} /p:Version=${{ needs.version.outputs.GitFullSemVer }} --configuration ${{ env.BUILD_CONFIGURATION }} --settings ""CodeCoverage.runsettings"" --filter ""${{ env.TEST_FILTER }}""" -f xml -o "${{ env.TEST_OUTPUT }}/${{ env.TEST_FILE }}"
.\.sonar\scanner\dotnet-sonarscanner end /d:sonar.token="${{ secrets.SONAR_TOKEN }}"
However, the build process fails with the following error:
.\.sonar\scanner\dotnet-sonarscanner: /home/runner/work/_temp/1942123b-5342-49d9-a722-dcd65f2bb797.ps1:2

Error: Process completed with exit code 1.
If I change the job to use ubuntu-latest instead of windows-latest then the process completes, although my tests fail because they require Linux rather than Windows.
I’m wondering if it’s something to do with Linux paths vs Windows paths?
I noticed Can we use ubuntu runner for .net projects in github action - SonarQube Server / Community Build - Sonar Community asks a similar question, but the issue remains unresolved.
