Using Sonar Cloud in VSTS CI task

[anandjit banerjee]

We have been trying to sonar cloud to run as a CI task for our codebase in VSTS.However it fails with error message as :

is not a valid branch name. The allowed format is the same as for Git branches.

Can someone please help on this.

Hi,

There's not enough information here for anyone to help you. What branch name is included in your error message? What parameters to you pass to analysis? 

Ann

P.S. The standard courtesies (Hi, Thanks, ...) are appreciated in this group.

Issue with "Integrating SonarQube Cloud with VSTS using TFVC for Xamarin Android Project" 

For static code analysis , I am trying to integrate Sonar Cloud with VSTS. I have created the project in Sonar Cloud and added the same using Prepare Analysis step. The build fails at the Run Code Analysis step. Please see below the steps that I have added to automate build for Xamarin Android Code.

1. Use NuGet 4.5.1

2.NUGet Restore

3. Prepare Analysis Step for Sonar Cloud

4. Build Xamarin Android Project

5. VS test assemblies

6.Run Code Analysis ( Build Fails)

7. Signing and aligning the Apk

Though without the Sonar Cloud integration, the build works fine.

I am getting the following error

Please suggest what needs to be done. I am not able to resolve this.

Hi,

It seems the name of the branch in your build is this: $/ABC/Sonar-branch

The error message says this name is not in a valid format, but that's not true. This name is indeed allowed, and I copy pasted from your output to verify this is indeed the case.

Is this really the name of the branch or have you modified the output to remove private info? It seem it's not the real name, and you have something in the real name that makes it not valid. Try to use a simpler name.

Cheers,

Janos

Thanks Janos for investigating this

You are right. That is not the correct branch name. 

The branch name is something like 

$/DCT Xamarin/Sonar-branch/DCT/DCT.Droid/DigitalCollectionTool.Droid.csproj

I am also attaching the logs and the screen shots for the steps I had followed to integrate Sonar cloud.

Thanks

Parul

That's not a valid branch name: $/DCT Xamarin/Sonar-branch/DCT/DCT.Droid/DigitalCollectionTool.Droid.csproj

It becomes valid if you remove the space. But it's a very strange name for a branch, and you probably did not intend that way. Let's see how we can fix that.

It seems the Xamarin project name because the branch name by default. And the current value looks like a path to a file. I'm talking about the value of Project in the Build Xamarin step. I suggest to change it to something more natural.

Most importantly, in the Project analysis on SonarCloud step, in the Additional Properties box, add a line like this:

sonar.branch.name=$(Build.SourceBranchName)

I think this should fix the problem. If you still get an error, please again send the relevant error output.

Cheers,

Janos
