Error when queing build with sonarqube. Unauthorized

Question

I am trying to integrate sonarqube with TFS, I created a build definition with only one step, the sonar qube integration, based on this tutorial:

1. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudioalm/2015/08/24/build-tasks-for-sonarqube-analysis/

I know my sonarqube is already setup, because I can access it through the browser and the database is correctly setup.

However I am getting this error:

14:45:53.684  Default properties file was not found at C:\BuildAgents\DefaultBuildAgent\5\.sonarqube\bin\SonarQube.Analysis.xml
14:45:53.762  Updating build integration targets...

Answer 1

You need to specify the authentication token in the SonarQube service endpoint in TFS: click!

To obtain a user token in SonarQube follow these steps

Be sure the sonar.login and sonar.password properties in SonarQube.Analysis.xml are commented out, otherwise the token won't be used.
