Error on C# plugin Update 6.0 (build 2033)

[Rahul Goel]

Hi All,

I had  upgraded my C# plugin from 5.11 (build 1761)  to 6.0 (build 2033) and after that i have started seeing the following warning message on building the project 

Importing analysis results from C:\Sonar Workspace\workspace\----\null\output-cs

14:09:31.980 WARN  - Protobuf file not found: null\output-cs\encoding.pb

14:09:31.999 WARN  - Protobuf file not found: null\output-cs\metrics.pb

14:09:32.010 WARN  - Protobuf file not found: null\output-cs\token-cpd.pb

the analysis completes successfully but all the metrics on sonarqube dashboard shows 0 .

Downgrading of the C# plugin works fine.

Is this a error in plugin or i am missing something ?

Regards

Rahul

Hi Rahul,

I will need the complete build log to be able to tell what's wrong, but in the mean time, if you haven't already, you could try upgrading your Scanner for MsBuild to its most recent version (3.0+). Older versions of the scanner are not compatible with SonarC# 6.

You can find the latest scanner here:

https://github.com/SonarSource/sonar-scanner-msbuild/releases 

All the best,

Valeri

Hello Valeri, hello Rahul

I'm experiencing the same problem with SonarC# 6 and msbuild-3.0.0.629. Was somebody of you able to solve the problem?

The only warnings I get are the ones, Rahul mentioned above.

Kind regards,

Sebastian

Hi guys,

Do you have shared files in you solution? I mean files that are referenced in your .csproj, but that are not located under the project base directory.

/

  Shared.cs

  /ProjectA

    /ProjectA.csproj (reference ../Shared.cs)

Hey Julien

That was quick! No, no shared files there...

Hi Sebastian,

Also, the complete build log would be really helpful. You can send it directly to mine, or Julien's email.

Thanks,

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for the build log, I am replying here so that other developers could benefit from this thread.

As far as I can see, you are using the Scanner CLI to analyze your solution. The recommended and supported way to analyze .NET solutions is the Scanner for MSBuild, which can be downloaded from here:

https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SCAN/Analyzing+with+SonarQube+Scanner+for+MSBuild

On the same page you could also find the instructions for use.

Best regards,

Valeri

Hello Valeri

Thank you for your reply! I did not know, that the Scanner CLI is not supported. So I will look at the MSBuild Scanner and check how far I'll come. I already noticed that it has something to do with the build part (msbuild.exe). So the source of the problem might have nothing to do with Sonar.

Thank you!

Hi Valeri

You mentioned to upgrade to the latest scanner: https://github.com/SonarSource/sonar-scanner-msbuild/releases 

When I use that one locally (VS 2017) I do get the exact same error message like mentioned here.

Please find below the scanner output.

Thanks for your help,

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

You are using the Scanner CLI as well - see line 4 in the build log. The output from Scanner for MSBuild is slightly different and also the analysis is a multi command process - see the documentation about how to use it correctly:

https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SCAN/Analyzing+with+SonarQube+Scanner+for+MSBuild

All the best,

Valeri

[Thomas Isler]

Hi Valeri

Thanks a lot for you answer!

I wonder how this worked before and now out of a sudden stopped working. Couldn't find any documentation mentioning that it shouldn't be used.

Anyway, it works with the documented MSBUILD approach although the results are now different since also some .js files get analyzed. But this might be a side-effect by using SonarLint.

Cheers,

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

 

When analyzing C# solutions, the Scanner CLI was in compatibility mode (e.g. as when using MSBuild 12) and had a lot of limitations – the biggest one being no cross-file analysis, which led to less detected issues. That functionality was shared between the scanner and the SonarC# plugin – the scanner downloaded an executable from a plugin-specific URL on your SonarQube instance that did the actual analysis. With SonarC# 6.0 we dropped the MSBuild 12 compatibility mode from the plugin (including the downloadable exe) and that’s why Scanner CLI and the older versions of Scanner for MSBuild stopped working…

 

It was a mistake on our side to not mention that incompatibility in the release notes, but we made a note and will try to improve.

Bumping this thread again, as facing challenges with C# plugin

I am using Jenkins to build project and then Sonar to analyze the project,my challenge is that i am not able to force sonar to analyze using MSbuild Scanner , looking for some help here .

Hi Rahul

Yes, once you upgrade your c# plugin the current sonar-cube analyzer won't work anymore and you have to upgrade it.

We build our solution with bamboo and msbuild.

Before msbuild is being executed we call the sonar-cupe scanner executable like this:

 begin /n:"<projekt name>" /k:"<key>" /v:"1.0" /s:"${bamboo.build.working.directory}\SonarQube.Analysis.xml"

then we build our solution with msbuild and after this step we call sonar-cube scanner with the following parameters

 end

So your process should look like this:

1. call sonar-cube scanne with "begin <parameters>"

2. call msbuild

3. call sonar-cube scanne with "end"

That should do the trick.

Cheers,

Thomas

Same problem with Rahul.
I am using Sonar with Jenkins and met same problem (can not analyze C# source code). How can I call Sonar Scanner for MSBuild from Jenkins?
Solution of Thomas Isler could not work on my Jenkins.

Pls support me. Thanks!

Hi, did you try the instructions in our documentation? https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SCAN/Analyzing+with+SonarQube+Scanner+for+Jenkins
