Some.dll was not found in any output directory (C:\path..\bin\Debug, C:\path..\bin\Release), please build project before scan.

[shubhamgoel4aug]

Hi Team,

After upgrading the SonarQube to latest version 7.4, we are getting the following during complete sonar scan

Some.dll was not found in any output directory (C:\path..\bin\Debug, C:\path..\bin\Release), please build project before scan.

In the previous version (6.7.4), we were able to complete the scan without any issues. Our solution outputs the binaries in the agent binaries folder ($(Build.BinariesDirectory)) but FxCOp seems to look into the default directories.

The error log ends with

Please help.

[DanielHWe]

Can you give me some more lines of the log? best ist where the error starts. What are the parameter you use for the fx cop plugin?

[DanielHWe]

OK, one more question to understand this, what is the defined output path of the SomeAssembly.dll?

[shubhamgoel4aug]

The defined output path for the assembly in the build definition is $(Build.BinariesDirectory)/$(BuildConfiguration) which points to C:/agent/_work/1/b/Release

[DanielHWe]

Ok, this seams to be the Problem, the plugin resolves this as C:\path..\bin\Debug, I will try to fix this.

In the meantime you can use as workaround to define sonar.cs.fxcop.assembly and/or sonar.cs.fxcop.directory to define the path to search the assemblies. See readme for more information.

[shubhamgoel4aug]

Hi Daniel,

Is the fixed binary released for the plugin?

Thanks

[DanielHWe]

Not now. Did the Workaround work?

[shubhamgoel4aug]

We tried, but the fix didn't seem to work, if you can provide any example.

[DanielHWe]

For Command line or SonarQube.Analysis.xml?

[DanielHWe]

I was trying to fix this but 'Build.BinariesDirectory' is resolved by the build process and not defined in the config files (.sln or .csproj) so I have no idear how to resolve it in the plugin.

[shubhamgoel4aug]

We are trying to do it through command line, if you can help for it? We will try to fix with script with the command line args.

[DanielHWe]

Then you should add _/d:"sonar.cs.fxcop.directory=C:/agent/work/1/b/Release" to the line where you call SonarQube.Scanner.MSBuild.exe begin

[guvasudevanv]

Is this fixed? we need a fix similar to Visual Studio bootstrapper plugin to override the output path . sonar.visualstudio.outputPaths=
