SonarQube–Error after updating the Prepare Analysis Task in Azure DevOps

I noticed when running a pipeline in Azure DevOps that I got some warnings on the SonarQube related tasks. It complained that I should update to a newer version. So I thought why not and updated the related tasks to the latest version (7.* at the moment of writing this post).

However when I tried to run the pipeline again afterwards it no longer worked and failed on the Prepare Analysis Task:

Starting: Prepare analysis on SonarQube

==============================================================================

Task : Prepare Analysis Configuration

Description : Prepare SonarQube Server analysis configuration

Version : 7.1.1

##[error][ERROR] SonarQube Server: Error while executing task Prepare: Use 'scannerMode: dotnet' instead of 'scannerMode: MSBuild' in your task configuration.

##[error]Use 'scannerMode: dotnet' instead of 'scannerMode: MSBuild' in your task configuration.

Finishing: Prepare analysis on SonarQube

Turned out that I was a little bit too fast. After changing the tasks to the latest version I also had to explicitly select the way to run the analysis in the Prepare task:

 


After (re)checking the radiobutton and saving the pipeline, the error disappeared.

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...

.NET 9 - Goodbye sln!

Although the csproj file evolved and simplified a lot over time, the Visual Studio solution file (.sln) remained an ugly file format full of magic GUIDs. With the latest .NET 9 SDK(9.0.200), we finally got an alternative; a new XML-based solution file(.slnx) got introduced in preview. So say goodbye to this ugly sln file: And meet his better looking slnx brother instead: To use this feature we first have to enable it: Go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Preview Features Check the checkbox next to Use Solution File Persistence Model Now we can migrate an existing sln file to slnx using the following command: dotnet sln migrate AICalculator.sln .slnx file D:\Projects\Test\AICalculator\AICalculator.slnx generated. Or create a new Visual Studio solution using the slnx format: dotnet new sln --format slnx The template "Solution File" was created successfully. The new format is not yet recognized by VSCode but it does work in Jetbr...
