I am trying to install SonarQube Scanner for MSBuild

Question

I've successfully set up SonarQube and the C# plugin. I am running into trouble getting the Sonarqube Scanner to work.

I've the following SonarQube.Analysis.xml

<SonarQubeAnalysisProperties  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.sonarsource.com/msbuild/integration/2015/1">

  <Property Name="sonar.host.url">sonar.dnbad.nl</Property>

  <Property Name="sonar.login">...</Property>
  <Property Name="sonar.password">....</Property>

  <Property Name="sonar.verbose">true</Property>

  <!-- Required only for versions of SonarQube prior to 5.2 -->
  <!--
  <Property Name="sonar.jdbc.url">jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://mySqlServer/sonar;instance=SQLEXPRESS;SelectMethod=Cursor</Property>
  <Property Name="sonar.jdbc.username">sonar</Property>
  <Property Name="sonar.jdbc.password">sonar</Property>
  -->

</SonarQubeAnalysisProperties>

When I run the examples in SonarSource-sonar-examples-3e5f679 I get the following output:

It looks as if the runner is trying to create a path but it is including the sonar url in the path, rather than the directory .sonarcube\bin

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

You're passing a hostname instead of a URL to sonar.host.url, so the scheme to use is ambiguous. You should fully define the URL instead:

<Property Name="sonar.host.url">http://sonar.dnbad.nl</Property>
