sonar-project.properties file looks like:

sonar.projectKey=my:AllocationAssistant
sonar.projectName=AllocationAssistant
sonar.projectVersion=prd
sonar.source=.
sonar.language=cs
sonar.dotnet.visualstudio.solution.file=AllocationAssistant.sln
sonar.dotnet.excludeGeneratedCode=true
sonar.dotnet.4.0.sdk.directory=C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.30319
sonar.dotnet.version=4.0

Anybody have an idea what could be wrong with sonar-project.properties? I assume that there could be problem. Sonar-project.properties is in the same folder where .sln is located.

I will be grateful for your opinion and help.

Answer 1

There is a typo in your sonar-project.properties configuration file. 'sonar.source' instead of 'sonar.sources'
