How to use Fortify Scan 16.11 to scan dotnet core

Question

I created a default .Net Core 1.0.1 Class library and changed buildOptions in project.json to include debugType: "Full". I used the integrated VS 2015 Fortify Scan using 16.11 and I get the errors below. How should I scan dotnet core to avoid this problem?

Project 'src\providesFileInPackage\providesFileInPackage.xproj' is not configured to output full debug information. SCA Analysis requires full debug symbols. Would you like to ignore project and continue? (Project Properties -> Build -> "Advanced" button -> Debug Info -> "Full" OR Project Properties -> Compile -> Advanced Options -> Debug Info -> "Full" for VB)

My project json looks like

{
  "version": "1.0.0-*",
  "dependencies": {
    "NETStandard.Library": "1.6.0"
  },
  "frameworks": {
    "netstandard1.6": {
      "imports": "dnxcore50"
    }
  },
  "buildOptions": {
    "define": [ "DEBUG" ],
    "debugType": "full"
  }
}

Answer 1

I had the same problem. It's blaming the xproj file and not project.json so I tried to add

<DebugType>full</DebugType>

inside the PropertyGroup but to no avail.

In the end I found a workaround by running Fortify from the command line:

msbuild MyApplicationSca.proj /p:Configuration=Release /t:Rebuild /m

My MyApplicationSca.proj looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">

I am not investigating more than that right now but I hope this brings us a bit closer to the answer.
