Sonar-dotnet: Error about missing ProjectGuid for .NET Core projects

[bitbonk]

Description

SonarQube is not able to correctly handle the "new" csproj format. It always requires the otherwise useless <ProjectGuid> entry in the csproj.

The "new" csproj format is all about conciseness and minimalism adding back all those useless XML elements defeats its whole purpose.

Repro steps

1. Create a new .NET Core project using dotnet new or Visual Studio including a Solution file.

2. Run it through SonarQube Analysis

Expected behavior

SonarQube correctly analyzes and reports the analysis about my solution. Without having to add a <ProjectGuid> to the csproj.

Actual behavior

The projects are not analysed and the following error occurs:

WARNING: The following projects do not have a valid ProjectGuid and were not built using a valid solution (.sln) thus will be skipped from analysis...

Known workarounds

Add a <ProjectGuid> to the csproj with an arbitrary unique guid value as described here and here.

If it helps anyone, this PowerShell script will find all of your .csproj files and add a ProjectGuid if it's missing.
