I can also see successful test run message

Sonar configuration is done in build configuration under "Execute Sonar scanner" step
I am not sure what is missing here, wrong configuration, wrong msbuild ??

I suppose you have gone through this documentation https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SCAN/Analyzing+with+SonarQube+Scanner+for+MSBuild for getting all the dependencies information and the command required to run the analysis.
I was getting some of the error mentioned above when i was trying to analyse c# files but i require more information to understand your case so please provide the o/p of each steps mentioned below:
SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe begin /k:"project-key"
MSBuild.exe <path to solution.sln> /t:Rebuild
SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe end
If you are running through jenkins MSBuild plugin, then please provide the verbose output of the same.

I solved all above issues with below configuration in Jenkins
SonarQube configuration
Jenkin Global tool configuration
Freestyle project configuration

What I can think of is that is something wrong with the MAIN code base, but can't figure it out
Any ideas?

We recently received a bug report with the same error: Tuple literals make the analysis fail, I suppose it could be caused by other C# 7 constructs as well. Unfortunately we don't have a fix or workaround yet (except not using some C# 7 features for the time being).
I cannot promise a fix for the next version of SonarC# because we did not investigated the problem yet, but we will do our best to resolve the problem as soon as possible.

Sonarqube evaluation: License error scanning a .Net Project?

I downloaded SonarQube, set it up and installed the C# and VB plugins. I downloaded the MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner. I followed the instructions for Analyzing with SonarQube for MSBuild when I enter the MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe end command I receive the following error:

Caused by: com.A.vb.XYZ.A.A.A: Missing or bad plugin license. Please check logs.
Is licensing required for the C# plugin or the MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner?

No license is required for the C# plugin or for SonarQube Scanner for MSBuild. But a license is required for the VB plugin. So uninstall that plugin and you should be good to go.
Alternately, you can ask for a trial license.

SonarQube MSBuild Runner defaults to h2 Database

I am using Win Server 2012, Developer Command Prompt for VS2013, SonarQube v5.1.2, SonarQube Scanner for MSBuild 1.1.
I have my Sonar instance running off this same server, but connected to an Oracle database. Using the default sonar runner, i can analyze projects properly and see them appear in the dashboard using this method. That cannot be said for using the recommended MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe approach.
I have tried with the csharp and vbnet examples, as well as our actual code. Oddly, i want to say each of these have worked at least once, but fail to do so now. Today, I tried using the vbnet example project for the first time and discovered and it worked as intended when using the MSBuild runner. I deleted the project from the dashboard, and ran it again. At this point i do not remember it it worked or not, but the third time for sure it stopped working and began producing the error below (wherein it tries to connect to the default h2 database instead of the oracle one that SonarQube is connected to).
I tried deleting the examples folder, extracting it again, giving it a slightly different name, and running the Sonar on it giving THOSE a different name/key/version, but now it is consistently giving me the db error.
Any idea what could be going on here, and why it would go from working to not, without me making any changes to the runner, msbuild, or the code?

org.sonar.runner.impl.RunnerException: Unable to execute Sonar
Of note: I feel that it is worth mentioning that the vbnet report didn't actually have any content in it, but did at least properly get generated in the Sonar dashboard. I have tried running the commands against both that and the csharp example with now neither of them being added to the dashboard.

In the MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner install folder, there is a SonarQube.Analysis.xml. Do you have the correct server details on the below line in there?
<Property Name="sonar.host.url">http://{host}:{port}/{optionalPath}</Property>
This property value should point to your Sonar server.

Couple other things to try. Do you see tables being populated with analysis data in your oracle database? When was the last time it got any record?
Also, are you seeing below warning on your SonarQube application pages (say default dashboard)? If yes, then oracle configuration is not being picked up.

So i upgraded to the latest SonarQube version (5.3) and upgraded a few of the extensions while i was at it and preliminary testing is showing positive results. Ill try it a few more times but im closing the question for now. Thank you all that helped!

Does Coverity support xbuild (mono)?

I've a C# project: https://github.com/Pro/dkim-exchange
It uses Travis CI: https://travis-ci.org/Pro/dkim-exchange
Travis successfully builds my project.
I wanted to set up Coverity to do automatic code quality measurements. For this I configured my .travis.yml as follows:
language: objective-c
env:
global:
- EnableNuGetPackageRestore=true
# The next declaration is the encrypted COVERITY_SCAN_TOKEN, created
# via the "travis encrypt" command using the project repo's public key
- secure: "kC7O0CWm9h4g+tzCwhIZEGwcdiLrb1/1PijeOKGbIWGuWS7cIksAkj2tRNMgtxxcE9CFQr8W7xDv2YzflCIlqN1nGkFjbyD4CrNg6+V1j0fZjPOQ6ssdBBVPrfrvecsAUJ0/48Tqa9VTkEpZSlwOF/VS1sO2ob36FVyWjtxvG9s="
matrix:
- MONO_VERSION="3.10.0"
install:
# Fetch Mono
- wget "http://download.mono-project.com/archive/${MONO_VERSION}/macos-10-x86/MonoFramework-MDK-${MONO_VERSION}.macos10.xamarin.x86.pkg"
- sudo installer -pkg "MonoFramework-MDK-${MONO_VERSION}.macos10.xamarin.x86.pkg" -target /
script:
- xbuild travis.proj
addons:
coverity_scan:
project:
name: "Pro/dkim-exchange"
description: "Build submitted via Travis CI"
notification_email: mail#example.com
build_command_prepend: "xbuild /t:CleanAll travis.proj"
build_command: "xbuild /t:Build travis.proj"
branch_pattern: coverity_scan
If I execute the coverity build commands as indicated here (using msbuild): https://scan.coverity.com/download?tab=csharp the uploaded archive is analyzed correctly, but in combination with travis, the coverity analysis fails (see e.g. this build log: https://travis-ci.org/Pro/dkim-exchange/builds/42295611).
There's this warning:
[WARNING] No files were emitted. This may be due to a problem with your configuration
or because no files were actually compiled by your build command.
Please make sure you have configured the compilers actually used in the compilation.
I think this may be related to xbuild from Mono. Unfortunately Dr. Google didn't find anythin about Coverity+xbuild. Does Coverity support xbuild? If yes, how can I correctly setup the project?

When it comes to C#, Coverity actually only supports msbuild.
You can find some more official information about this in the following
http://www.coverity.com/library/pdf/CoverityStaticAnalysis.pdf
https://communities.coverity.com/message/6251#6251
The last link explicitly states
Our C# analysis only supports the Visual Studio C# compilers
So, no xbuild support as of now.
Update:
When you download the Coverity build tool, the doc/en/help/cov-build.txt explicitly states the following:
C# build capture is only supported on Windows.
