sonar / maven context: Gallio execution failed. Searching why:?

Question

I've got a server 2008 continuous integration box, on which I want to use Gallio so as to execute my MSTests and PartCover for my Sonar dashboard.

I installed Gallio 3.3.1 x64 along with PartCover, and so on.

Gallio works via Icarus on my test assemblies (thanks to this answer)

However, through Sonar, I've got this puzzling log trace (see bellow). Even though my tests assemblies are qualified as test project, the error message for Gallio is

'Embedded error: Gallio execution failed.
No test assembly was found. Please check your project's Gallio plugin configuration.'

Any idea on how to track and fix this issue?

Thanks,

Note: I could not for some reasons post this question on the Gallio-user group, so I try there.

Answer 1

Fount it (thanks for Fabrice Bellingard on the sunar_user mailing list), his own words:

OK, you are building the project with the "Release" build configuration, so as you can see in Jenkins log, the compiled assemblies end up in the "bin/release" folder. However, you run the Sonar analysis with the default parameters, and so the C# Plugins look into "bin/Debug" folder to find assemblies.

So you have 2 solutions: • either you compile the project with the "Debug" build configuration • or you specify the following property for the sonar analysis: "sonar.dotnet.buildConfigurations=Release" (see doc for that property on the Wiki)
