Gather statistics for shared project

I have a C# solution with 3 projects.

App.Console\App.Console.csproj
App.Web\App.Web.csproj
App.Shared\App.Shared.csproj

Both App.Console and App.Web reference App.Shared. Currently, I build each project separately as they have slightly different MSBuild arguments.

My current build process is as follows

MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe begin /k:"MyApp" /n:"My App" /v:"1.0"
msbuild.exe msbuild App.Console\App.Console.csproj /t:'Rebuild' /p:Configuration=Release /p:OutDir=C:\Out\Console
msbuild.exe msbuild App.Web\App.Web.csproj /p:DeployOnBuild=True /p:DeployDefaultTarget=WebPublish /p:WebPublishMethod=FileSystem /p:DeleteExistingFiles=True /p:publishUrl=C:\Out\Web
MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe end

I see statistics for both App.Console and App.Web, however, statistics for App.Shared is missing. Instead, I notice a warning in the SonarQube runner output.

WARNING: Duplicate project GUID: "21889c3d-d9c4-40d6-a4e4-971735d19ee2". Check that the project is only being built for a single platform/configuration and that that the project guid is unique. The project will not be analyzed by SonarQube. Project file: C:\Projects\MyApp\App.Shared\App.Shared.csproj

I believe this warning is the root of my problem.

If I do the following:

MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe begin /k:"MyConsoleApp" /n:"My Console App" /v:"1.0"
msbuild.exe msbuild App.Console\App.Console.csproj /t:'Rebuild' /p:Configuration=Release /p:OutDir=C:\Out\Console
MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe end

MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe begin /k:"MyWebApp" /n:"My Web App" /v:"1.0"
msbuild.exe msbuild App.Web\App.Web.csproj /p:DeployOnBuild=True /p:DeployDefaultTarget=WebPublish /p:WebPublishMethod=FileSystem /p:DeleteExistingFiles=True /p:publishUrl=C:\Out\Web
MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe end

I now have 2 separate projects in SonarQube which both contain statistics for App.Shared. This is bad because this information is duplicated between the two projects and does not accurately give me an overall technical debt for my solution.

I have been able to get all three set of statistics in one project by building the solution only:

MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe begin /k:"MyApp" /n:"My App" /v:"1.0"
msbuild.exe msbuild App.sln /t:'Rebuild' /p:Configuration=Release
MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe end

This is not ideal because building the solution does not build the web project the way I need, thus I must do a 2nd build after SonarQube completes (build the way I need it, not the way SonarQube wants it).

Is it possible to run msbuild multiple times in-conjunction with the SonarQube MSBuild runner and get one set of complete statistics?

回答1:

In the shared app, you can conditionally set a <SonarQubeExclude>true</SonarQubeExclude> property, such that it will be set only when building either App.Web or App.Console.

You can find a proposal on how to achieve this in the Microsoft ALM Rangers guide to SonarQube under Appendix 3, "Explicitly associating an MSBuild project with a SonarQube project": http://redirect.sonarsource.com/doc/sq-setup-guide-for-dotnet-users.html

回答2:

The issue might be that you have an extra *.sln file in your solution. I encountered this when there was an old, dormant .sln file in a project folder. Deleting it resolved the issue.
