How to analyze c# project with sonarqube LTS 6.7 and sonar runner?

We are facing problem while analyzing c# project that how to set environmental variable and how to execute sonar runner command?

In order to run the Scanner for MSBuild from the root dir of your project you need to do one of the following:
add the folder where the Scanner for MSBuild is installed to the system PATH variable. You could follow the instructions in this answer (see "Old Method"): https://superuser.com/questions/949560/how-do-i-set-system-environment-variables-in-windows-10
type the full name of the executables, for example if you installed Scanner for MSBuild into c:\tools\sonar-scanner-msbuild.4.0 the commands could be:
c:\tools\sonar-scanner-msbuild.4.0\sonarqube.scanner.msbuild.exe ...
msbuild ...
c:\tools\sonar-scanner-msbuild.4.0\sonarqube.scanner.msbuild.exe ...

SonarQube analysis could not be completed because the analysis configuration file could not be found

SonarQube is giving me below error when i integrate the xamarin app with jenkins on windows sever
SonarQube Scanner for MSBuild 3.0
Default properties file was found at C:\SonarQube\bin\SonarQube.Analysis.xml

13:49:43.952 Post-processing failed. Exit code: 1
I have followed the below guide https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SCAN/Analyzing+with+SonarQube+Scanner+for+MSBuild
SonarQube.Scanner.MSBuild.exe begin /k:"org.sonarqube:sonarqube-scanner-msbuild" /n:"Project Name" /v:"1.0"
MSBuild.exe /t:Rebuild
SonarQube.Scanner.MSBuild.exe end
Please help me to resolve this issue

The errors reported at the end of a SonarQube report are sometimes less helpful than the errors when you begin.
Eg when I got this error, scrolling to the top of the log showed that I wasn't correctly setting the sonar.projectKey value, but this message the OP shared is still what showed up at the end.

I had the same problem. You need find correct MSBuild.exe.
I have several in c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\... and also in c:\Program Files (x86)
For my project in Visual Studio 2017 with .NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1 the correct MSBuild.exe is:
"c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\amd64\MSBuild.exe" /t:Rebuild
For the Enterpsie version is should be:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\MSBuild" /t:Rebuild

I got the same error and was able to fix it by excluding "/t:Rebuild" from second step. Also used the VS2017 MSBuild.exe
These are the 3 commands I ran in Windows Command Prompt (CMD):
1>> SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe begin /k:"MyProjectName"
2>> "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2017/Enterprise/MSBuild/15.0/Bin/MSBuild.exe" "MySolution.sln"
3>> SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe end

Update I confront this error also , my solution was easy I just build the project in the visual studio then its succeeded.

I had this problem because I used a bad project key (it had a }) inside. I removed the }and the problem was gone.

Documentation needed on how to get FXCop running with Sonarqube 5.1

On the sonarqube website the new C# plugin documentation states 'native support for fxcop'
However there is no explanation how to get fxcop running. It does not work out of the box.
What i did so far and works:
installed Sonarqube 5.1
using msbuild.sonarqube.runner
The sonarqube C#,xml,js analysis al work like a charm.
What does not work is using fxcop rules.When i enable 1 rule i get the runner to give the following exception:
ERROR: Error during Sonar runner execution
org.sonar.runner.impl.RunnerException: Unable to execute Sonar

her.java:91)

Bootstrapper for Visual Studio Projects plugin, see:
http://docs.codehaus.org/x/TAA1Dg.If you wish to skip the analysis of
not built projects, set the property "sonar.visu
alstudio.skipIfNotBuilt".
What i tried so far:
followed the provided docs.codehaus.org/x/TAA1Dg link but this is a dead link. It states "All Codehaus services have been terminated".
added sonar.cs.fxcop.assembly property to the sonarqube.analysis.xml but this does not change anything to the error.
added sonar.cs.fxcop.installdirectory property to the sonarqube.analysis.xml file. This changes the error messages to:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot find the
assembly "C:\p
rojects\mercurial\ccvs.sonarqube\bin\sonar-runner\bin\"FxCopCmd.exe""
provided by the property "sonar.cs.fxcop.assembly".
But i'm unable to the the fxcop installation copied to this folder. I also failed to influence the path to be redirected to my fxcop installation which comes with vs2013(C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Team Tools\Static Analysis Tools\FxCop\FxCopCmd.exe)
Another thing is that the sonar-project.properties file next to the .sln file is not picked up by this new msbuild sonar runner thats why i edit the xml file.
In short a step-by-step on the guide how to get fxcop working together with sonarqube 5.1 and the msbuild sonarrunner on the site of sonarqube would be appreciated.

I thinks you should read
http://www.sonarqube.org/easy-analysis-of-visual-studio-solutions-with-the-sonarqube-scanner-for-msbuild/
and
http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/PLUG/C%23+Plugin .
Pay attention to the fact that you should run the commands from a "Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio 2013 or higher" (http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Analyzing+with+SonarQube+Scanner+for+MSBuild).
Neither DOS Command Prompt nor Windows PowerShell work because they don't set the proper variables.
The FxCop native support doesn't mean that it comes with MSBuild SonarQube Runner, but you have to install Visual Studio >= 2013 (as I think you understood from your message).
Moreover, I found that not only sonar-project.properties has been deprecated, but you have to remove it to avoid strange behaviors.

How to set FxCop installation path using SonarQube's C# plugin

I'm trying to analyze .NET C# project using SonarQube C# plugin.
From C# Plugin 3.0, FxCop is automatically executed even thogh "sonar.fxcop.mode=skip" in sonar-project.properties, so I installed FxCop to following directory.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft FxCop 1.35
When I ran SonarQube Runner from Jenkins's sonar plugin, then I got following error.
ERROR: Error during Sonar runner execution
ERROR: Unable to execute Sonar
ERROR: Caused by: The property "sonar.cs.fxcop.assembly" must be set.
ERROR:
ERROR: To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run SonarQube Runner with the -e switch.
ERROR: Re-run SonarQube Runner using the -X switch to enable full debug logging.
Build step 'Invoke Standalone Sonar Analysis' marked build as failure
Finished: FAILUR
I enabled Visual Studio Bootstrapper on SonarQube, and I ran SonarQube Runner again, then I got following error.
ERROR: Error during Sonar runner execution
ERROR: Unable to execute Sonar
ERROR: Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0/Team Tools/Static Analysis Tools/FxCop/FxCopCmd.exe": CreateProcess error=2, ?w?????t?#?

ERROR:

I add "sonar.fxcop.installDirector=C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft FxCop 1.35" to sonar-project.properties, and ran SonarQube Runner again however same error occured.
I guess if Visual Studio Bootstrapper disabled and sonar-project.properties specify "sonar.cs.fxcop.assembly" and "sonar.fxcop.installDirector" correctly, It's work fine, but I don't want to specify many properties in sonar-project.properties.
How can I set FxCop execution path with enabling Visual Studio Bootstrapper?
Environment:
SonarQube4.2
SonarQube's C# plugin 3.0
SonarQube Runner 2.4
sonar-project.properties
sonar.projectKey=xxxxx
sonar.projectVersion=1.0
sonar.projectName=Project Name
sonar.language=cs
sonar.dotnet.key.generation.strategy=safe
sonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8
# This property is set because it is required by the SonarQube Runner.
# But it is not taken into account because the location of the source
# code is retrieved from the .sln and .csproj files.
sonar.sources=.
sonar.fxcop.mode=skip
sonar.gendarme.mode=skip
sonar.gallio.mode=skip
sonar.ndeps.mode=skip
sonar.stylecop.mode=skip
sonar.fxcop.installDirector=C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft FxCop 1.35
Regards

I found the solution for this issue , Login as an administration on sonar qube and then go to setting , under general setting you find Category, select C# then Click on Code Analysis/FxCop tab , then find "Path to FxCopCMD.Exe" and add the full path of FXCopCMD.exe as suggested in example
click on this to see image and process

Same problem here. I think after you installed Visual Studio Bootstrapper you'll need to setup the following key to match the path to FxCop executable:
sonar.cs.fxcop.fxCopCmdPath
which by default has the value you mentioned in the second error log.

build .net application in Jenkins using MSBuild

I have a .net application built on .net framework 3.5, I am trying to build this application on Jenkins CI server. I've added MSBuild plugin and and have added path to the .exe file of 2.0, 3.5 and 4.0 versions of MSBuild. But my building processes are failing by showing the below error message.
Path To MSBuild.exe: msbuild.exe
Executing command: cmd.exe /C msbuild.exe Neo.sln && exit %%ERRORLEVEL%%

'msbuild.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Build step 'Build a Visual Studio project or solution using MSBuild.' marked uild as failure

Could anyone plz help me out..??

To make the MSBuild plugin work, you need to configure the plugin in the Jenkins management screen.
NOTE: in the newer Jenkins versions you find the MSBuild configuration in the Global Tool Configuration:
Note the "Name" field, where I've called this particular configuration v4.0.30319. You could call it anything you like, but ideally the name will somehow refer to the version.
You'll need to refer to this name later in the Jenkins PROJECT that's failing.
Note: The yellow warning implies that the Path to MSBuild field should be populated with a directory name rather than a file name. In practice you do need to enter the filename here too (ie. msbuild.exe) or the build step will fail.
In the Jenkins project that's failing, go to the MSBuild build step.
The first field in the build step is "MSBuild Version". If you created the build step before configuring any MSBuild versions, the value here will be (default).
After configuring one or more MSBuild versions, the drop down will be populated with the available configurations. Select the one you require.
You can see here that I've now selected the named configuration that matches the installation above.

Jenkins | Manage Jenkins | Configure System
scroll down to the MSBuild section and click MSBuild installations
define the full path to msbuild.exe, on my system I have 3.5 and v4.0.30319
Note - specify the path to 32-bit tools even on a 64-bit system, otherwise you might get an error message:
Building Windows Phone application using MSBuild 64 bit is not supported.
So in Jenkins - it could be for example:
Name: Version 3.5
Path: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\MSBuild.exe
Name: Version 4.0
Path: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSbuild.exe

I think you should set an absolute path for "msbuild.exe" in your Jenkins configuration,
for example:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\msbuild.exe

You can also add the path where the msbuild.exe is, to the PATH system environment variable of the node (or nodes) that is running that specific job.

You could try executing the
%comspec% /k ""c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"" x86
command, which will temporarily update your environment path variables to reflect the VS2010 build environment. Execute this before you call MSBUILD and see what happens. I use this in my own build scripts with no issues.
Side note; it's very likely counterproductive to have multiple versions of MSBUILD on your PATH. Concentrate on getting one version working and go from there.
