Generation of the sonar-properties file failed. Unable to complete SonarQube analysis

Question

Application Stack

• Jenkins
• .NET 4.7
• SonarQube 7.4
• Bitbucket (Source control)
• VS 2015 Update 3
• VsTest to execute UnitTest

Path of Msbuid in Global Tools Configuration is

1. C:\\Program Files (x86)\\MSBuild\\14.0\\Bin\\Msbuild.exe
2. Also tried with C:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework64\\v4.0.30319\\Msbuild.exe

We have created sample project and configured all in one server.

We can see multiple kind of errors in log files like

• Generation of the sonar-properties file failed. Unable to complete SonarQube analysis.
• WARNING: File 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Jenkins\\workspace\\CICD\\UnitTestProject1\\Properties\\AssemblyInfo.cs' is not located under the root directory 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Jenkins\\workspace\\CICD.sonarqube\\out' and will not be analyzed
• No analysable projects were found. SonarQube analysis will not be performed
• This only comes when i use msbuild from "Program files" An instance of analyzer SonarAnalyzer.Rules.CSharp.FieldsShouldNotBePublic cannot be created from C:\\Users\\manish.joisar\\AppData\\Local\\Temp.sonarqube\\resources\\0\\SonarAnalyzer.CSharp.dll : Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.CodeAnalysis, Version=1.3.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies

I can see message with build succeeded.

I can also see successful test run message Total tests: 1. Passed: 1. Failed: 0. Skipped: 0. Test Run Successful.

Sonar configuration is done in build configuration under "Execute Sonar scanner" step

I am not sure what is missing here, wrong configuration, wrong msbuild ??

Answer 1

I suppose you have gone through this documentation https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SCAN/Analyzing+with+SonarQube+Scanner+for+MSBuild for getting all the dependencies information and the command required to run the analysis.

I was getting some of the error mentioned above when i was trying to analyse c# files but i require more information to understand your case so please provide the o/p of each steps mentioned below:

SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe begin /k:"project-key"
MSBuild.exe <path to solution.sln> /t:Rebuild
SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe end

If you are running through jenkins MSBuild plugin, then please provide the verbose output of the same.

Answer 2

I solved all above issues with below configuration in Jenkins

SonarQube configuration

Jenkin Global tool configuration

Freestyle project configuration
