SonarQube analyses issue Line is out of range for

Question

I am running a local instance of SonarQube and executed a Xamarin.Forms project using default SonarC# plugin analyzed using SonarQube Scanner for MSBuild. Below is the error i am getting:

ERROR: Error during SonarQube Scanner execution

ERROR: Line 736 is out of range for file /xxxx.cs. File has 735 lines.

ERROR: The SonarQube Scanner did not complete successfully

09:26:04.772 Creating a summary markdown file...

09:26:04.78 Post-processing failed. Exit code: 1

I am getting the same issue while executing on SonarCloud as well.

Answer 1

In my case this happend because of a file encoding Sonarqube could not handle. By inspecting the file with a hex editor, I saw that the file ended with 00 0d 00 0a 00. After changing the encoding to UTF-8, it now ends with 0d 0a and Sonarqube works again.
