Stylecop Anayzers plugin for Sonarqube does not allow to start the platform

Question

I want to use the rules of the StyleCop analyzer for Roslyn in SonarQube, In order to do that and following the documentation founded, I downloaded the SonarQube Roslyn SDK , and try to generate the plugin with for the analyzer with the following command:

RoslynSonarQubePluginGenerator /a:StyleCop.Analyzers /sqale:StyleCop.Analyzers.1.0.0.sqale.xml

It generates a LOG without errors, however a dialog telling me that a file is not located appear, dos not show anymore. At the end this message appear:

Plugin generated: C:\Temp\SonarQube.Roslyn.SDK-1.0\stylecopanalyzers-plugin-1.0.0.jar

I copy the plugin to C:\\Sonar\\sonarqube_5_6\\extensions\\plugins and try to start the SonarQube instance, but it fails. the following log appear at sonar.log file:

If I open the jar file, it just have a META-INF folder

META-INF
  |_lib
      |_sslr-squid-bridge-2.6.jar

I already downloaded sonarqube-roslyn-sdk-template-plugin and put in the same folder as the SDK, but the behavior remains.

Am I missing some step? Does I need anything else?

Answer 1

I download the code. in the project SonarQube.Plugins.Roslyn.PluginGenerator.csproj at the class ArchiveUpdater, specifically in the method ZipUsingShell there was an error adding the files, it shows a dialog box.

As a workaround I take the temporal folder and create the .jar file manually. I would like to go deep, why it is not able to add the files but currently I am in a Hurry.

I guess the issue may be related to the instance of 7zip that I have installed.
