Sonarqube is not registering any c# issues

Question

Since last Friday (04/01/2016) we are using sonarqube in our company. Somehow one of our project's issues got all closed (without actually being fixed). And now the project doesn't get any issues back. we even deleted the project in sonarqube and restarted an analysis, this also gives no issues.

We tried many different things to get the issues back (even making errors on purpose, but this also doesn't generate any issues in sonarqube)

We are running the newest version of sonarqube (Version 5.4) and we start our analysis from TFS 2015 (using the sonarqube start and end build steps)

Any idea why sonarqube does not reconize any issues in this project? while other projects are working fine?

update:

This happend after we enabled Code coverage for this build.but disabling the code coverage does not bring the issues back (not even after deleting the sonarqube project)

update 2:

update 3:

Background log

update 4:

It looks like its a problem with the c# profiler, we now added some Asp.net mvc projects and get a lot of issues based on the javascript and css profiler, however there are 0 c# issues (which is higly unlikly)

update 5:

browsing the logs of the TFS build im seeing that somewhere sonarqube issues are reqonized for c#, but they don't end up in sonarqube itself example:

UrlNameSetter\Dev\******.Tools.UrlNameSetter\******.Tools.UrlNameSetter\UrlNameHelper.cs(31,13): Warning S1067: Reduce the number of conditional operators (4) used in the expression (maximum allowed 3).
2>UrlNameHelper.cs(31,13): warning S1067: Reduce the number of conditional operators (4) used in the expression (maximum allowed 3). [D:\TFS\Agents\Agent-47\_work\4\s\UrlNameSetter\Dev\******.Tools.UrlNameSetter\******.Tools.UrlNameSetter\******.Tools.UrlNameSetter.csproj]

update 6:

i found a roslyn json log file (refrenced in the end proces) which also contains the issues that sonarqube should see

Pastebin to ******.Tools.UrlNameSetter.dll.RoslynCA.json

update 7:

i jsut completly reinstalled sonarqube, but this had no effect. therefor im starting to think that the issue is beeing caused by the sonarqube runner build in with tfs 2015

update 8:

Now i'm defenatly sure its not the sonarqube instalation, i ran a sonarqube run on my dev pc and that did put issues in sonarqube... The search continues

Answer 1

Thanks to @fluf we found out that the install of visual studio 2015 update 2 caused these problems.

What the root issue is here is still unkown, but its working now.

Workaround: Remove the update 2 installation of visual studio 2015 and replace it with either the update 1 or the one without the updates. Both work well enough to preform the builds en generate the code coverage files in TFS.

Answer 2

Is it possible that the Quality Profile for the project has/was changed?

Answer 3

We encoutered the same problem. Upgrading to sonarqube 5.6 with C# 5.3 plugin did solve our problem.
