WARN: Invalid character encountered in file <file.zip> at line 2 for encoding UTF-8

[ros...@gmail.com]

I'm trying to perform scan during appveyor but it's failed due encoding warning.

I'm also trying to set encoding in run parameter: /d:sonar.sourceEncoding="UTF-8" but no luck.

And trying to exclude this file: /d:sonar.exclusions="**/*.zip" and also no luck.

MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe : WARN: Invalid character encountered in file C:\projects\webdrivermanager-net\IntegrationTests\Assets\removable.zip at line 2 for encoding UTF-8. Please fix file content or configure the encoding to

be used using property 'sonar.sourceEncoding'.

Hi,

What is the version of SonarQube you are using?

Thanks,

Hello,

I'm using msbuild-sonarqube-runner latest version (2.1) from chocolatey.
And check perform on https://sonarqube.com host.
Sorry, but i don't exactly know what version of sonarqube there. I think the latest one.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,
I doubt the warning causes it to fail but not familiar with your environment.

The zip file is probably categorized as a test asset so try setting
sonar.global.test.exclusions = **/*.zip
or sonar.test.exclusions.

Jan

Both variant works well.

Thanks,
