sonar-scanner CLI reference

ModularPipelines.SonarScanner provides strongly typed access to the sonar-scanner CLI.

Executable prerequisite

This package does not install the sonar-scanner executable. Install it separately and ensure sonar-scanner is available on PATH.

The generation workflow is pinned to sonar-scanner version 8.0.1.6346.

See the sonar-scanner installation guide.

The generator workflow downloads the Linux x64 SonarScanner CLI distribution.

Package installation

dotnet add package ModularPipelines.SonarScanner

Resolve the service with context.Tools.SonarScanner. For projects older than C# 14, import ModularPipelines.SonarScanner.Extensions and use the context.SonarScanner() extension method as a compatibility fallback.

Module example

Resolve the service in a module, then select a command from the table below. A runnable example is omitted when no command has complete safety metadata:

var sonarScanner = context.Tools.SonarScanner;
