We have FxCop analysis being run by Nant/Jenkins. A SonarQube C# analysis is then triggered, and executed successfully.
We'd like to reuse fxcop.xml result file from Jenkins for Sonar's analysis.
We tried this configuration with no luck:
sonar.fxcop.mode=reuseReport
sonar.fxcop.reportsPaths=fxcop.xml
SonarQube is asking for path to FxCopCmd.exe. If specified, Sonar is running FxCop analysis one more time. We don't want that.
According to this thread sonar.fxcop.mode is no longer supported.
Quoted from the thread:
You can skip the execution of FxCop on a specific project by using another Quality Profile for it, that does not contain any FxCop rule.
Indeed, it is important for the evolution of a project's technical debt to be trackable over time. Changes in the rules that are applied during the analysis has an obvious impact on the technical debt, and therefore should be tracked.
The "sonar.fxcop.mode" property did not allow that, and was therefore removed. For example, with the reuseReports mode, you could launch just 1 or 2 rules, whereas in SonarQube all FxCop rules are enabled. Skipping the FxCop analysis fully when all FxCop rules are enabled in SonarQube is obviously deceiving.
The reuseReports mode should not be required, as SonarQube is able to drive FxCop's execution.
I guess FxCop should be started from Sonarqube direct.
