SonarQube MSBuild与Jenkins的集成失败，在命令行上工作正常

Question

I am analyzing my .NET project with sonarqube and I want to automate it with my jenkins build server.

I use MSBuild 14.0.23107.0, sonarqube 6.7.1.35068, sonar-scanner-msbuild-4.0.2.892, sonar-csharp-plugin-6.7.1.4347, Jenkins 2.89.3

I tried the jenkins "SonarQube Scanner for MSBuild - Begin Analysis" and "SonarQube Scanner for MSBuild - End Analysis" build steps but they failed with the following error message:

The SonarQube MSBuild integration failed: SonarQube was unable to collect the required information about your projects. Possible causes:

1. The project has not been built - the project must be built in between the begin and end steps
2. An unsupported version of MSBuild has been used to build the project. Currently MSBuild 14.0 upwards are supported
3. The begin, build or end steps have not all been launched from the same folder

I tried a couple of things and then switched to a windows batch file build step with the following content:

SonarQube.Scanner.MSBuild.exe begin /k:"eGate" /v:"%SVN_REVISION%" /d:sonar.login="%SONAR_AUTH_TOKEN%"
MSBuild.exe /property:Configuration=AutoBuild /t:Rebuild
SonarQube.Scanner.MSBuild.exe end /d:sonar.login="%SONAR_AUTH_TOKEN%"

Because this is the most minimal example I could think of. It still fails:

12:41:39 C:\Jenkins\workspace\eGate>SonarQube.Scanner.MSBuild.exe begin /k:"eGate" /v:"8503" /d:sonar.login="******"

The interesting part is, when I open a command line, switch to the jenkins workspace and then execute the commands manually everything works as expected:

Any hints how to debug this? I can provide additional logs and information if you need them.

I could kind of resolve this issue. I am not 100% happy but I can make this work by calling SonarQube.Scanner.MSBuild.exe and MSBuild.exe with the full absolute path:

"C:\sonarqube\bin\SonarQube.Scanner.MSBuild.exe" begin /k:"eGate" /v:"%SVN_REVISION /d:sonar.login="%SONAR_AUTH_TOKEN%"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe" /property:Configuration=AutoBuild /t:Rebuild
"C:\sonarqube\bin\SonarQube.Scanner.MSBuild.exe" end /d:sonar.login="%SONAR_AUTH_TOKEN%"

But I can't figure out why this works but calling them from the %PATH% env doesn't. It is really weird...
