Sonarqube 5.2 with custom fxcop rules is not working

Question

I upgraded sonarqube to 5.2. I replaced the old instance with a new instance, so the old configuration was deleted and replaced.

I have several custom fxcop rules.

When running the analysis, I am getting the following error.
ERROR: Error during Sonar runner execution ERROR: Unable to execute Sonar ERROR: Caused by: Unable to find the rule key corresponding to the rule config key "HSI1009" in repository "fxcop".

This is caused by empty entries in the sonar created file fxcop-sonarqube.ruleset file.

Does anyone know if this is a bug or some error on my end? I did not have these sorts of issues before the 5.2 upgrade, but unable to go back due to reliance on some plugins using 5.2.

Answer 1

This problem has been fixed with the SonarQube Scanner for MSBuild v1.0.2+ : https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SONARMSBRU-151 Also be sure to run the SQ Scanner for MSBuild in a .NET 4.5.2 context.

Answer 2

I was only able to fix this by downgrading back to SonarQube 5.1.2. Even though I am using the same C# plugin (5.0) and the same runner version (2.5), upgrading to SonarQube 5.2 and up broke custom fxcop rules.
