SonarQube analysis in TFS Build fails after SonarQube upgrade

Question

We are upgrading our SonarQube server from 6.1 to the 6.7.1 LTS. We are running TFS 2017 on-prem. I have updated the plugins to: sonar-csharp - v 6.7.1.4347 sonar-css v 4.5 sonar-ldap - v 2.2.0.608 sonar-scm-git - v 1.3.0.869 sonar-scm-tfvc v 2.1.2 sonar-typescript - v 1.1.0.1079 sonar-web - v 2.5.0.476 sonar-xml v 1.4.3.1027

When running a build the complete analysis step fails Post-processing failed. Exit code :1

there are warning messages about sonar.cs.analyzer.projectOutPath property is missing.
And "No roslyn issues report not found for this project"

Also, it suggests that I re-run the scanner using the -X switch. but I haven't been able to find how to add that switch.

Any help on how to determine what/where the error is would be SUPER helpful.

Answer 1

Have a look at this and this releasenotes. Check if you are using the latest scanner version: 4.0.2.892.

Answer 2

In our case, the SonarQube API being called in the build step happened to start failing on special characters that it had not had trouble with before. We were using curly-braces in our sonarQube project names, and the newer version really did not like that. Once we changed the project names to use parenthesis instead of the curly-braces, things were working better
