No ProjectInfo.xml files were found

Question

i am using visual studio 2015 and tfs for build the project, I started the build but got stuck with the error described below,

2016-03-17T09:38:15.2135195Z ##[error]No ProjectInfo.xml files were found. Possible causes:
2016-03-17T09:38:15.2135195Z ##[error]1. The project has not been built - the end step was called right after the begin step, without a build step in between
2016-03-17T09:38:15.2135195Z ##[error]2. An unsupported version of MSBuild has been used to build the project. Currently MSBuild 12.0 upwards are supported
2016-03-17T09:38:15.2135195Z ##[error]3. The build step has been launched from a different working folder
2016-03-17T09:38:15.2135195Z Generation of the sonar-properties file failed. Unable to complete SonarQube analysis.
2016-03-17T09:38:15.2135195Z 15:08:15.15  Creating a summary markdown file...
2016-03-17T09:38:15.2135195Z ##[error]Post-processing failed. Exit code: 1
2016-03-17T09:38:15.2135195Z ##[error]Unexpected exit code received from batch file: 1

Can any one help me in this?

Answer 1

Assuming you are using TFS2015 vNext build, and you are trying to add build tasks below to execute a SonarQube analysis:

· SonarQube for MSBuild – Begin Analysis

· SonarQube for MSBuild – End Analysis

From your error log, you need to make sure the End Analysis task should be used to create a step that is executed after the “Visual Studio Build” task step. Review blog Build Tasks for SonarQube Analysis get more information of how to use SonarQube analysis tasks.
