coverlet with vstest.console.exe not generating code coverage.

[Hardik-BaseCone]

Hello,

I’m trying to generate coverage to upload to sonar cloud.
tools I’m using.

• .Net Framwork 4.8
• SonarScanner.Msbuild.exe
• VStest.console.exe
• coverlet

using github actions when workflow completes I can see .coverage file which contains data. (almost what I can read in the .coverage file is references to project files)

xml generated after running test is as below: which seems empty and not generating any code coverage data.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CoverageSession>
  <Summary numSequencePoints="0" visitedSequencePoints="0" numBranchPoints="0" visitedBranchPoints="0" sequenceCoverage="0" branchCoverage="0" maxCyclomaticComplexity="1" minCyclomaticComplexity="1" visitedClasses="0" numClasses="0" visitedMethods="0" numMethods="0" />
  <Modules />
</CoverageSession>

Steps I’m following.

setup required tools. e.g. actions/checkout, actions/setup-java, NuGet/setup-nuget, microsoft/setup-msbuild, darenm/Setup-VSTest and downloading sonar-scanner from link https://github.com/SonarSource/sonar-scanner-msbuild/releases/download/6.0.0.81631/sonar-scanner-6.0.0.81631-net-framework.zip

• SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe begin /k:APPLICATION_NAME /d:sonar.token=MY_VALID_TOKEN

• msbuild Application.sln -t:rebuild -property:Configuration=Release

• coverlet C:\a\Repos\App\ –target “vstest.console.exe” --targetargs “**\bin*.Test*.dll /EnableCodeCoverage” --format “opencover” --output \coverage-reports\

• SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe end /d:sonar.token=MY_VALID_TOKEN

In my application I’m unable to generate code-coverage.
.
.
.
and on other side,
I tried with a sample application with default template .Net Framework 4.8.
added few tests for default code.

which is working fine. In this sample application I can see coverage and xml as well. please have a look on below snapshot from sample app and github workflow.
In this sample application; I follow same steps, except SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe being and end.

please let me know if you want to take a look at my sample applications workflows .yml file.

Thanks,
Hardik

Hi, could you please provide addition information:

Configuration (please complete the following information):
Please provide more information on your .NET configuration:

• Which coverlet package and version was used?
• Which version of .NET is the code running on?
• What OS and version, and what distro if applicable?
• What is the architecture (x64, x86, ARM, ARM64)?
• Do you know whether it is specific to that configuration?

Typically dotnet test and coverlet.collector are the recommended tools and before running the test a dotnet publish might be helpful. Why do you use msbuild instead of dotnet?

Make sure to Change DebugType from full to portable.

This issue was already fixed using recommended coverlet.collector vstest integration.

Note

Use SonarAnalyzer.CSharp nuget package instead of sonarscanner tool.
The sonarqube warnings are also available in visual studio and can be configured as well using .editorconfig.
