Yesterday I talked about setting up Sonar Cloud for code analysis.
Unfortunately it turned out to be not so simple as I expected. The first time I ran the build pipeline the Code analysis task failed with the following error:

The problem is that SonarCloud expects a ProjectGuid to be able to differentiate between the different C# projects(.csproj files ) I have in my source repository. As this are .NET Core projects such a ProjectGuid no longer exist.
To solve this problem I changed my dotnet build task to use the solution file instead of using csproj files:
