Gitlab Pipeline Job Token Fail

Question

I have Gitlab Community and I am trying to integrate it with SonarQube. The Sonar is hosted on Azure VM Ubuntu in a Docker container. The problem is that I really don't know how to write gitlab-ci.yml. I already try sonar, but locally hosted on a Windows machine. Here is my current gitlab-ci.yml.

When I change sonar host with my current and I am not sure what I need to put on sonar. Login then throws an error:

SonarScanner for MSBuild 5.0.4

Answer 1

Maybe your SonarQube scanner is out of date

I faced the Same Issue

I solved this issue by this command dotnet tool update --global dotnet-sonarscanner

And it worked right after

Answer 2

For anyone coming here for a similar problem where you had things set up correctly and suddenly they stopped working, I just experienced this. I had to generate a new auth token and that got things working correctly. I don't have an explanation for why that occurred though, but this is a troubleshooting step one could take.
