How to import nUnit/OpenCover results to SonarQube

We are running SonarQube Community Edition Version 7.9.1 (build 27448) (the currently latest docker image)
I have some nUnit tests but I'm struggling to get the code coverage data imported to SonarQube.
I have successfully used SonarScanner.MSBuild (sonar-scanner-msbuild-4.6.2.2108-net46) to import the code analysis and number of nUnit tests to SonarQube using the following commands:
SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe begin /k:"ProjectName" /d:sonar.host.url="..." /d:sonar.login="..." /d:sonar.cs.nunit.reportsPaths="NUnitResults.xml"
MSBuild.exe ....sln /t:Rebuild
nunit3-console.exe --result=NUnitResults.xml path\to\tests.dll
SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe end /d:sonar.login="..."
Now I want to use OpenCover to get the code coverage info to SonarQube so I'm using the following commands
SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe begin /k:"ProjectName" /d:sonar.host.url="..." /d:sonar.login="..." /d:sonar.cs.nunit.reportsPaths="NUnitResults.xml" /d:sonar.cs.opencover.reportsPaths="opencover.xml"
MSBuild.exe ....sln /t:Rebuild
nunit3-console.exe --result=NUnitResults.xml path\to\tests.dll
OpenCover.Console.exe -output:opencover.xml -register:user -target:"nunit3-console.exe" -targetargs:"path\to\tests.dll --result=NUnitResults.xml"
SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe end /d:sonar.login="..."
[I think I'm probably unnecessarily running the nUnit tests twice, but I'll sort that out once I've resolved the following issue]
The problem is I'm not getting any code coverage details on SonarQube.
Checking the SonarScanner log I can see the following output from OpenCover:
Executing: nunit3-console.exe

Now checking the dir I can see I have NUnitResults.xml and opencover.xml created and populated. (I don't really know how to read OpenCover results but it has data for my unit tests)
The SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe end log has this tidbit:
INFO: Sensor C# Tests Coverage Report Import [csharp]
INFO: Parsing the OpenCover report path.\opencover.xml
INFO: Adding this code coverage report to the cache for later reuse: path.\opencover.xml
WARN: The Code Coverage report doesn't contain any coverage data for the included files. For troubleshooting hints, please refer to https://docs.sonarqube.org/x/CoBh
INFO: Sensor C# Tests Coverage Report Import [csharp] (done) | time=14ms
INFO: Sensor C# Unit Test Results Import [csharp]
INFO: Parsing the NUnit Test Results file path.\NUnitResults.xml
INFO: Sensor C# Unit Test Results Import [csharp] (done) | time=34ms
Now the classes that the unit tests cover are included (I can see them in SonarQube marked as uncovered) so I guess either OpenCover isn't collecting the correct info or something is going wrong matching the covered files with the file in the solution.
n.b. Checking the project that should be covered by these tests, under Project > Build > Advanced the Debug Info is set to full for Debug configuration, which some resources seem to suggest is required.
Any idea what I'm missing/where I'm going wrong?
UPDATE
Checking the bottom of opencode.xml it has the following:
<Module skippedDueTo="MissingPdb" hash="DD-83-09-69-9F-A7-11-FF-F5-BC-43-7C-87-B2-54-99-0D-A5-D5-61">
<ModulePath>C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\assembly\GAC_MSIL\MyCompany.Common.Utility\v4.0_1.0.0.0__bf95fa7f15863c9f\MyCompany.Common.Utility.dll</ModulePath>
<ModuleTime>2019-09-05T16:07:28.6111533Z</ModuleTime>
<ModuleName>MyCompany.Common.Utility</ModuleName>
<Classes />
</Module>
The original authors of this solution seemed to like shoving everything in the GAC, so I'm guessing OpenCover is looking in the GAC rather than locally for the dll, and the GAC doesn't hold pdbs.
I tried setting the OpenCover -targetdir setting as suggested in the manual:
The path to the target directory; if the target argument already contains a path then this argument can be used to provide an alternate path where PDB files may be found.
I also tried to use -searchdirs (Alternative locations to look for PDBs.)
but neither of them resolved it.
Can I tell OpenCover to use the bin\Debug pdbs?

Step4 : SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe end
Explanation:
1 : reportsPath: specifies the path of the code-coverage result file.
2 : ".\packages\OpenCover.4.7.1221\tools\OpenCover.Console.exe" : it is system path of the "OpenCover.Console.exe"
3 : ".\packages\NUnit.ConsoleRunner.3.12.0\tools\nunit3-console.exe" : it is system path of the "nunit3-console.exe"

SonarQube - C# Code not being displayed on Dashboard

I am having an issue with SonarQube 6.7 where it is not displaying any C# code issues or bugs, during the analysis I can see C# is being analysed and the build is successful but when I check the SonarQube Dashboard it is only showing Typescript and XML.
I am using Jenkins to build the project using Mono as all our building is done on Ubuntu 16.04.
Setup as follows:
Jenkins 2.89.2 on Ubuntu 16.04
SonarQube Version 6.7 (build 33306) on Ubuntu 16.04 (Separate server)
Sonar C# 6.8.1
SonarQube Scanner for MSBuild 4.0.1
Mono 5.10.0 Stable
Using a Pipeline In Jenkins I am doing the following:
node {
sh 'mono ~/tools/hudson.plugins.sonar.MsBuildSQRunnerInstallation/MSBuild/SonarQube.Scanner.MSBuild.exe begin /key:12345678FAKEKEY9l02998745'
sh 'dotnet restore WSP1.sln'
sh 'dotnet msbuild WSP1.sln'
sh 'mono ~/tools/hudson.plugins.sonar.MsBuildSQRunnerInstallation/MSBuild/SonarQube.Scanner.MSBuild.exe end' } }
The above pipeline script works without any issues.
When I run this pipeline I can see that the C# code is being Analysed, this is just a snippet of code being analysed:
Services/Project1/Services/Project1EventsShould.cs(130,21): warning S1186: Add a nested comment explaining why this method is empty, throw a 'NotSupportedException' or complete the implementation. [/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/CSharpAnalysis/WSP1/test/Unit/Unit.csproj]

Services/Project1/Models/CollaborationUserShould.cs(16,17): warning S1481: Remove this unused 'sut' local variable. [/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/CSharpAnalysis/WSP1/test/Unit/Unit.csproj]
At the end I get a SUCCESS, everything looks good but when I check SonarQube I can see that the uploaded code is being analysed for display in SonarQube, this usually takes a minute or so but when this is completed I can see that only TypeScript and XML is displayed.
In amongst the output I get some warnings, info and errors but nothing looks sinister, at the end of the output I get the success message

I have the full output handy, I just need to sanitize this to remove anything that may be sensitive, if you would like a look just let me know and I will post this.
I am pretty new to SonarQube so the issue I am having could be something silly but I have been ripping my hair out trying to figure this out.
EDIT : I was digging through the output again and noticed 2 warning in the following:

I just ran into the same issue on Sonarqube 6.7.4 (build 38452).
Solved by two steps:
After updating the built-in SonarC# plugin to version 7.2 (build 5463) (Uninstall-Restart-Install-Restart), and re-scanning, code issues (vulnerabilities, code smells, etc) showed up.
Introduced package coverlet.msbuild into test projects to generate coverage data, configured Project - Administration - C# - OpenCover Unit Tests Reports Paths to use path/to/coverage.opencover.xml. After re-scanning, test coverage data showed up.
Here are all the commands executed after above configurations:
dotnet path/to/SonarScanner.MSBuild.dll begin /k:"project-key"
dotnet build
dotnet test /p:CollectCoverage=true /p:CoverletOutputFormat=opencover
dotnet path/to/SonarScanner.MSBuild.dll end

Sonarqube C# v5.5.2 still has “java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: is not a valid line offset for pointer”

This is related to Sonarqube C# scanner exception: "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: is not a valid line offset for pointer"
Using Sonarqube v5.6.4 on a windows server, c# scanner v5.5.2.537.
MSBuild version is: Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 14.0.25420.1
I'm just using the non-service mode, StartSonar.bat while trying to get it working on this codebase, if that makes any difference.
The GlobalSuppressions.cs file in question is UTF-16. You can view it in an online hex editor.

Anybody have an idea what could be wrong with sonar-project.properties?
I assume that there could be problem.

I will be grateful for your opinion and help.

There is a typo in your sonar-project.properties configuration file. 'sonar.source' instead of 'sonar.sources'

Please help in sorting out these exceptions & let me know if any additional details are required, thanks.

The problem is that your "sonar.projectKey" contains space characters.
In recent versions of SonarQube, we enforced the kind of characters that are allowed in project keys: only letters, digits, '_', '.' and ':'. See SONAR-4188 for reference.
