coverlet with vstest.console.exe not generating code coverage.

[Hardik-BaseCone]

Hello,

I’m trying to generate coverage to upload to sonar cloud.
tools I’m using.

• .Net Framwork 4.8
• SonarScanner.Msbuild.exe
• VStest.console.exe
• coverlet

using github actions when workflow completes I can see .coverage file which contains data. (almost what I can read in the .coverage file is references to project files)

xml generated after running test is as below: which seems empty and not generating any code coverage data.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CoverageSession>
  <Summary numSequencePoints="0" visitedSequencePoints="0" numBranchPoints="0" visitedBranchPoints="0" sequenceCoverage="0" branchCoverage="0" maxCyclomaticComplexity="1" minCyclomaticComplexity="1" visitedClasses="0" numClasses="0" visitedMethods="0" numMethods="0" />
  <Modules />
</CoverageSession>

Steps I’m following.

setup required tools. e.g. actions/checkout, actions/setup-java, NuGet/setup-nuget, microsoft/setup-msbuild, darenm/Setup-VSTest and downloading sonar-scanner from link https://github.com/SonarSource/sonar-scanner-msbuild/releases/download/6.0.0.81631/sonar-scanner-6.0.0.81631-net-framework.zip

• SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe begin /k:APPLICATION_NAME /d:sonar.token=MY_VALID_TOKEN

• msbuild Application.sln -t:rebuild -property:Configuration=Release

• coverlet C:\a\Repos\App\ –target “vstest.console.exe” --targetargs “**\bin*.Test*.dll /EnableCodeCoverage” --format “opencover” --output \coverage-reports\

• SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe end /d:sonar.token=MY_VALID_TOKEN

In my application I’m unable to generate code-coverage.
.
.
.
and on other side,
I tried with a sample application with default template .Net Framework 4.8.
added few tests for default code.

which is working fine. In this sample application I can see coverage and xml as well. please have a look on below snapshot from sample app and github workflow.
In this sample application; I follow same steps, except SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe being and end.

please let me know if you want to take a look at my sample applications workflows .yml file.

Thanks,
Hardik

Hi, could you please provide addition information:

Configuration (please complete the following information):
Please provide more information on your .NET configuration:

• Which coverlet package and version was used?
• Which version of .NET is the code running on?
• What OS and version, and what distro if applicable?
• What is the architecture (x64, x86, ARM, ARM64)?
• Do you know whether it is specific to that configuration?

Typically dotnet test and coverlet.collector are the recommended tools and before running the test a dotnet publish might be helpful. Why do you use msbuild instead of dotnet?
