How to set FxCop installation path using SonarQube's C# plugin
c#, sonar-runner, sonarqube
Solution
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
Problem
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: Caused by: 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: Caused by: CreateProcess error=2, ?w?????t?@? 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. ``` 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
