Azure DevOps - SonarQube - error CS0006: Metadata file 'Google.Protobuf.dll' could not be found

Automated deployments are great, until the moment your builds start to fail due to side-effects.

Last week when trying to build and deploy an application using Azure DevOps, the build failed with the following error messages in the log:

2019-02-20T20:47:57.0671661Z   CSC : error CS0006: Metadata file 'D:\b\3\_work\_temp\.sonarqube\resources\0\Google.Protobuf.dll' could not be found

2019-02-20T20:47:57.0671661Z   CSC : error CS0006: Metadata file 'D:\b\3\_work\_temp\.sonarqube\resources\0\SonarAnalyzer.CSharp.dll' could not be found

2019-02-20T20:47:57.0671661Z   CSC : error CS0006: Metadata file 'D:\b\3\_work\_temp\.sonarqube\resources\0\SonarAnalyzer.dll' could not be found

I knew that I had seen this error before: https://bartwullems.blogspot.com/2018/11/tfs-build-sonarqube-error.html, but the things that worked then didn’t help.

After rebooting the server, cleaning the build folder, praying to all the known and unknown gods, I finally found a solution(read workaround) that worked:

I deleted all the .sonarqube folders found in the ‘_work’ directory of the build agent.

Anyone who has a ‘real’ solution?

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
